WLC 5508 Management Interface not seeing default gateway

[keith.k.quaye]

I am installing a new  5508 controller and  i have a management  interface mapped to  port 1  and serveral wlans also tied to port 1. Port 1  is trunked to the Core switch. I am able  to ping  the wlans from the core and ping their default gateways  from the  controller.  I am unable to ping  default gateway of the maanagement  interface.. I can't seem  figure out why.

Looking forward to hear from you!!

Hi,

Please specify the native VLAN on the switchport configuration.. that is..

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk native vlan #

switchport mode trunk

end

And let me know if we are able to ping

Regards

Your management is in VLAN 1, and that is the native vlan on the switch as well.

on the switch, do a switchport trunk native vlan 999.  then on the WLC tag the interface as VLAN 1.

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks for your replies  I fixed it by tagging  the management  vlan   since its in vlan 32 I  changed it from untagged.

On a different note I  got everything almost set up and the   APs are joining the controller  but  I do not see the  SSID when I  look at the available  wireless networks  on my notebook. Any  reeasons why ?

Thanks

Surendra,

Thanks for your quick response  but I do believe  I verified that  it was checked.  and thats what  confused me. I am not in front of the system but I will  check agaiin

[Surendra BG]

No problem.. lemme know how it works out for you!!

I found out the problem  each WLAN had the same SSID I gave them each a unique ID  to characterize the building they covered  and that resolved it. Thanks for your time
