Cisco WLC 9800L GUI Login Issue

[viv42]

Hi Team,

I have an on-prem Cisco WLC 9800-L Controller. I configured all the parameters properly. Now I am able to get the Console CLI login as well as the GUI login via SP port.

But I am not able to log in through GUI when using Wireless management IP.

I tried below,

ip http server

ip http secure-server

ip http authentication local

ip http secure-trustpoint CISCO_IDEVID_SUDI

ip http client source-int "wireless mgm int"

Also, tried to create new user.

Still, no luck.

note:- This WLC 9800 is newly deployed, after initial configuration all was working fine I can able to log in through GUI, but suddenly when I tried to log in through GUI using Wireless management IP I am getting the wrong username password which was working previously.

- Refer to best practice guide below
- Remember SP is a separate managment VRF - different routing table.  All your config must reflect that.  The routing in the default VRF needs to be able to reach the same things as the management VRF.
- Check your config at https://cway.cisco.com/wireless-config-analyzer/ using output of "show tech wireless"
- Run a packet capture on the "wireless mgm int" to see whether your packets arrive there and whether the WLC responds and take it from there.

Note that ip http client source-int "wireless mgm int" only applies to http/https connections originated/initiated by the WLC - for example connecting to Smart Licensing.
