wlc error

[suthomas1]

Hi,

I am configuring a wlc 5508. I get following error ,

Management Interface IP Address: 10.10.10.1

Management Interface Netmask: 255.255.0.0

Management Interface Default Router: 10.10.10.254

Error in setting management interface IP

I tried using different IP's also, but its still the same.

Appreciate all assistance to get it correct. Thank You!

If you change the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 does it work ?

no i tried this as well. it doesn't help.

Is one of the other dynamic interfaces in this same range ?

I am unable to check this. Because this WLC is now used for reconfiguring for another network.

The moment i boot it and login via console, it says " AUTO-INSTALL termination; no configuration loaded" ,

something of this sort.

upon entering it prompts me for username, password etc and then comes to the management interface address which is were i get this error.

I have tried with different address ranges.

Should we reset this to factory default?

[George Stefanick]

I beleive it has an overlapping dynamic interface. Either reset it or again check the dynamic interfaces.

how do i reset this ?

each time i reboot the system it comes to the prompt where it asks to enter username , password and other ip address information.

Boot the WLC and then when you see the output saying hit , press ESC.  The menu will appear in which you can factory reset the WLC.

Thanks,

Scott

I just got a thought on this to my mind, during the configuration i selected NO option for enabling LAG.

Does this by any chance hinder setting of the management interface ip address.

[George Stefanick]

No .. It shouldnt ..

As long as you don't have more than one port connected.

no port connections have been done physically from WLC to network switch so far.

I was just trying to configure the thing first.

It's happen due to overlapping interface IP. Please cross verify the setting or reset the WLC and then try.
