Introduction
Your integration company has been asked to configure a new simple wireless network,
including a 2504 WLC and three access points, for basic network access. This is a basics
guide to configuring Cisco Wireless. The customer Example.com has moved into a new
location and would like you to configure a wireless network. Example.com plans to have
only corporate users connect to the network wirelessly, and expects to grow to five
access points over the next four years. Your job is to cable the devices, set up the 2504
WLC, build a corporate WLAN, and test network access via the WLAN.
This guide will cover everything from part numbers and unboxing to testing network
access and everything in between. This guide will cover the following:
• Unbox and cable the devices

• Access of the console of the 2504 WLC.
• Complete the 2504 WLC basic CLI configuration.
• Configure the switch to support the WLC.
• Configure a DHCP scope / DNS to support AP registration.
• Connect 3 access points. (2 directly connected and 1 remote)
• Complete configuration of a WLAN and test wireless network access.
Please review the diagrams on the following pages carefully before proceeding. The
following diagrams are of the intended network design and represent the final product
upon completion.

Guide Overview
The Guide will cover completely how to deploy a very simple wireless network
supported by three access points. It will detail everything from unboxing the devices to
accessing and testing the completed wireless network.
The key focus of the document is to get comfortable with the 2504 WLC and
Cisco’s wireless solution set. This lab is intended for beginners to wireless configuration
as well as those new to Cisco’s solution.

10
Part 1: Unboxing, Cabling and Accessing the Devices
This part will cover what is included in each box, how to cable the devices to service the
needs of the example topology, as well as how to access the console of the 2504
Wireless LAN Controller. Listed below are the devices that will be detailed in this section
of the guide. To the right of each is the exact part number for ordering purposes.
1x 2504 Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Part# = AIR-CT2504-5-K9

3x Air 7201 Access Point (AP) Part# = AIR-CAP7021-A-K9
Section 1.1 Unboxing the 2504 Wireless LAN Controller
This section will detail what comes with the 2504 WLC as well as the function of the four
interfaces and accessing the console.

11

12

13
In the above picture all of the ports of the 2504 WLC are displayed. The left most port is
the Console port as labeled. This port is intended for accessing the command line
interface of the device via a direct line. No matter the condition of the network or the
device it can always be reached via its console. A console cable (Blue cable in the second
and third pictures) is included with every 2504 and can be connected to the serial port
of any computer directly or with the assistance of a Serial to USB adapter. We will go
into further detail about this in later sections. To learn more about the console port of
Cisco IOS devices and how to access them below are links to valuable resources.
Cisco Console Port

Cisco 2504 WLC Startup

Guide http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/2500/quick/guide/ctr2504_q_s.html
The four ports to the right are intended for network connectivity. Notice that
ports three and four of this group are labeled “POE” as this is very important. Ports
three and four can be used to power APs that are directly cabled to the 2504 using the
802.3af standard for power over Ethernet. Although these ports have POE they are not
devoid any functionality; they can still support regular network access to routers or
switches just as ports one and two. We will make use of these in later sections.

14

15
The 2504 WLC has a unique power supply as can be seen in the above three pictures.

16
Section 1.2 Unboxing the 7021 Access Point
This section will detail what comes with a Cisco Systems 7021 Wireless Access Point as
well as the function of the interface and how it can be powered.

17

18

19
Below is the side of the 7021 Access Point of four important features. On the left is a
power port for a 48 volt DC power supply (Sold Separately) that can be used to power
the AP if it is attached to a non 802.3af POE switch port. On that note, to the right of the
power port is a single Ethernet port shown in yellow that supports 802.3af POE (Power
of Ethernet) that is used to connect to the network. This port can be connected to any
switch port or directly to the Wireless LAN Controller.

20
To the right of the Ethernet port is a console port shown in blue that can be accessed in
the same way as the 2504 WLC if needed. In this guide and for most simplistic
configurations of wireless accessing this port is not required.
Right of the ports is a small red recessed button labeled “MODE” that is used to
reset the access point if required. This port is also rarely needed and is mainly intended
for recovery purposes. To learn more about the mode buttons role on the 7021 AP, or
any other information relating to configuration follow the link below.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.2_15_JA/configuration/guide/s15trb.html#w
p1036746
This scenario will utilize three of the 7021 Access Points shown all powered over
Ethernet by the 802.3af standard and each will be registered with the 2504 WLC.

21
Section 1.3 Cabling of the Topology
This section will cover adding the 2504 WLC and the first two of three 7021 Access
Points to the existing network. Below is the before and after layer two diagrams for
reference. Please examine them carefully.
Pre-Deployment
Post-Deployment

22
We will begin by cabling the 2504 WLC to the first two Access points. These access
points will be cabled directly to ports three and four on the WLC. Below the connections
are depicted. The Access points should be connected via the labeled Ethernet port and
will receive power from the WLC via this connection.
As can be seen above WLC port one is connected to the existing network via a switch
port. This interface will act as the Wireless Management Interface for the WLC. This
interface will handle connections to the GUI as well as send and receive
communications with the Access Points. Traffic from clients on the wireless network will
enter the wired network from a layer three prospective from this location.
Given the scenario all devices will be in the 10.1.10.0/24 subnet and all devices
will be in VLAN 1 making for a simple configuration.
Note***
This is not TAC supported. The backplane of the 2504 WLC is limited to 1gbps of
throughput. Connecting APs directly to the POE ports on the front of the WLC is not best
practice recommended. For this scenario and lab testing / experimentation it will work
as shown here but it is not a CISCO supported design. Do not do this in production.

23

24
Section 1.4 Accessing the Console of the 2504 WLC
This section includes accessing the console of the 2504 WLC and the needed settings in
Putty to do so.
In order to access the console, connect the console cable provided RJ-4 end to the WLC
as shown.
Now connect the other end of the console cable to either your PC directly or through a
Serial-to-USB connecter. (Pictured below is mine) In order to access the console of the
device a number of applications can be used. For this example we will use Putty.

25
The setting used for connecting to a cisco devices console can be seen below.

26
Note the “Speed” is 9600 and that under “Connection type” Serial is selected. In order
to access the console the “Serial line” that is designated to the correct USB port on the
computer. The best way to find out which “COM#” is connected to the device is via trial
an error. Start with “COM1” and test each one until one delivers an output. Here you
can see that I have chosen “COM6” as that matches my USB port.

27
The above display shows the options for “Serial” which I selected using the link on the
left pane. The settings should match what is shown above in that the speed or baud rate
is 9600, the data bits are 8, the stop bits are 1, the parity is “None” and flow control is
also “None”.
At this point the console cable is connected to the computer and the WLC, the
WLC has power and the putty settings are set as above. Below is the resulting window
upon clicking on the “Open” button in the above window.

28
After the WLC has completely booted it will sit at startup wizard. The boot process is
screenshot below.
Don’t type anything and after a few moments it will continue loading.
At this point press enter once.

29
Above will be the result. As you can see the first question of the setup wizard was
“System Name” but the AUTO-INSTALL message appeared immediately after. Press
enter once more and note the result below.
The setup wizard has now skipped the “System Name” question and moved on to
“Administrative User Name” so in order to go back to the first question enter a dash (-)
to take you back to the last question. That can be used on any question or questions
during the setup wizard. The result is shown below.
At this point we are ready to configure the WLC. Move on to exercise two to complete
the setup wizard.

30
Part 2: Configure the 2504 WLC via the CLI
Part 2 will cover configuring the 2504 Wireless LAN Controller via the Console port using
the Setup Wizard and testing access to the GUI once completed.
Section 2.1 Complete the Setup Wizard via the Console
This section will cover completing the Setup Wizard via the CLI/Console connection.
From the console of the 2504 answer the questions of the Setup Wizard as follows to
match the intended example topology.

At this point the WLC will apply the configuration and reload the system.

33
When the screen reaches the point depicted above log in with the credentials set in the
above wizard.
User: admin
Password: Cisco123
We have now confirmed that this username and password is working and that the
configuration options set in the wizard took effect.

34
Section 2.2 Access the 2504 Wireless LAN Controller via the GUI
In this section we will access the web GUI of the 2504 Wireless LAN Controller and
review the configuration of the device.
Access the Wireless LAN Controller by navigating to the Wireless Management Interface
IP address via HTTPS.
https://10.1.10.254
User: admin
Password: Cisco123
Note that the 2504 WLC is currently utilizing a Self-Signed Certificate.

35

36

37
Above is the dashboard or “MONITOR” page. For here the status of the four interfaces
of the 2504 WLC at the top of the page. Down the left of the page under “Controller
Summary” the current software version can be found “7.6.100.0” which is currently
running in this example and is the latest version of code available for the 2504 WLC as of
01/15/2014. Also under the “Controller Summery” can be found the system uptime,
device temperature, CPU and Memory usage, as well as the current system time.

38
Part 3: Configure the 2504 WLC via the GUI
This Part will cover setting the time zone of the 2504 WLC and correcting the security
configuration of the wireless LAN settings to operate without the use of 802.1x with
RADIUS.
Section 3.1 Configure the Time Zone on the 2504 WLC
This section will cover setting the time zone of the 2504 Wireless LAN Controller and
confirm that the correct time is held on the device. This is critical in order for the WLC to
function properly and allow Access Points to register.
To change the time zones on the WLC navigate to “COMMANDS” located on the blue
bar across the top of the screen.
From the “COMMANDS” page click on the “Set Time” link in the left panel depicted
below.
The resulting “Set Time” page is shown below. Notice that under “Location” there is
currently nothing selected.

39
To change the time zone expand the “Location” dropdown menu and select the
appropriate time zone. For this example we will select -5 EST.
Once a time zone is selected click on the gray “Set Timezone” button located at the top
left of the page to apply the changes made.

40
The message pictured above may appear. This is simply a warning and you can press
“OK” to accept it. Return to the “MONITOR” page to review the changed system time
and confirm that it is correct.

41
As can be seen in the above screen shot the system time of the WLC now matches the
system time of my local machine. Once again it is critical that the WLC has the same
time as other network devices, whether it is set manually or via NTP in order for the
access points to register and the wireless network to act as expected.

42
Section 3.2 Configure the WLAN Security Settings in the WLC GUI
This section covers configuring the WLAN to use a Pre-Shared Key security method as
opposed to 802.1x RADIUS authentication which is the default for Cisco Wireless LANs
on the 2504 WLC.
To make the changes navigate to “WLANs” from the blue bar across the top of the
screen.
From the “WLANs” page shown below, click on the “1” under “WLAN-ID” to see the
details page of the “Example-Corp” Wireless LAN.

43
Pictured above is the “Example-Corp” WLAN general tab. This page is where the WLAN
can be enabled and disabled as well as where the SSID broadcast status can be selected.
To change the security settings navigate to the “Security tab.
The resulting “Security” tab of the WLAN page is shown below.
To change the security settings to the desired state uncheck the “802.1x” box under
“Authentication Key Management” to disable 802.1x authentication using RADIUS.
Now enable Pre-Shared Key usage by clicking the box for “PSK”.

44
Scroll down using the slider on the right to fill in the PSK.
Enter a PSK into the open white box as shown below.
Pre-Shared Key: cisco123
Click the “Apply” button at the top right of the screen in order to commit these changes
to the WLAN.

45
When applying any changes to an enabled WLAN this message warning that the WLAN
will be temporally out of service in order to make them. Click “OK” to complete the
changes. Navigate back to the “MONITOR” view of the GUI.

46
Notice that there are currently now Access Points registered with the 2504 WLC at this
time. The reason for this is simple. As of this moment there is no way for an AP on the
network to know of the WLC. This will be corrected later in the guide.
At this point the WLAN is ready to successfully receive clients once it is broadcasted by
an Access point.

47
Part 4: Configure the Network to support AP Registration
This Part will cover two ways to enable Cisco Access Points to discover and register with
a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. The first way that we will configure is DHCP scope
option number 43 containing the HEX value of the Controller IP address. The second
method is a DNS entry for “cisco-capwap-controller” that translates to the Controller IP
address. Both of these methods will enable APs to find the Controller. You may choose
to use either method to support a deployment. For this demonstration we will be
configuring both, but it is NOT required to use more than one of these methods to
support AP registration. This is simply done in this guide to give you the choice in your
deployment strategy.
Section 4.1 Configure the DHCP Server to Offer Scope Option 43
This section will cover configuring a Windows 2003 Server R2 running the DHCP server
service to offer DHCP scope option 43 in HEX to clients “APs” so they may locate the
WLC and register with it.
The first step will be to access the Windows DHCP server for the 10.1.10.0/24 subnet
that both the WLC and APs are connected to. In this example topology that is a
Windows server. Below is a few screenshots of it as well as the L3 diagram of the
network topology. It is the “DHCP/DNS” server located just below the 3750 Switch.
Below is the login screen of the Windows Server 2003 R2 Server that hosts DNS and
DHCP servers. To modify the required components an administrator account will be
needed.

48
From the desktop of Server open the DHCP server window. There is a shortcut to it on
the desktop of this server seen below.
From the DHCP server window shown below, click the plus sign to expand the server
scopes.
In the resulting tree we will select the scope for the 10.1.10.0/24 network. On this
server it is the only scope currently configured.

49
Under the farther expanded tree there will be an object labeled “Scope Options” as
seen below. Click to see the currently configured scope options.
Currently on scope options 003, 006, and 015 are configured. These options are the
routers IP address, the DNS servers IP address, and the DNS domain name respectively.
To add new scope options right click on “Scope Options” and select “Configure
Options…” from the list.

50
In the resulting window shown below, scroll down to option 43.

51
Click the check box for option 43.
Fill in the box with the below information shown in red. The value for Option 43 is best
described as Type + Length + Value. Type is always 0xf1 for one WLC. The length is the
controller management IP addresses time 4 in hex. Value is the IP address of the
controller listed sequentially in hex. For our example there is one controller with a
management interface IP address of 10.1.10.254. The type is 0xf1. The length is 1 * 4 = 4
= 0x04. The IP address translates to 0A 01 0A FE (10.1.10.254) in HEX. When the string is
assembled, it yields “00 f1 04 0A 01 0A FE”. To add it to the window server we must add
“0000” to the front of this sting as shown in red below.
Option: 0000 00 F1 04 0A 01 0A FE
Look at the screenshot below for an example.

52
Click “apply” when complete.

53
Click “OK” and the DHCP scope option 43 has now been set.
Review the resulting window to confirm this.

54
Section 4.2 Configure the DNS Server to resolve Cisco-Capwap-Controller
This section will cover configuring a Windows 2003 Server R2 running the DNS server
service to resolve “cisco-capwap-controller” to 10.1.10.254/24 which is the Wireless
Management Interface of the 2504 Wireless LAN Controller in this example scenario.
The first step will be to access the DNS server for the 10.1.10.0/24 subnet that both the
WLC and APs are connected to. In this example topology that is a Windows server. This
is the same server that offers DHCP to the subnet.
From the desktop we open the DNS server window. Below is shown the window opened
from the DNS server shortcut on the desktop.
In order to add a DNS entry click to expand the “Forward Lookup Zones” and then
expand the “example.com” folder.

55
Right click in the white area shown below and select “New Host (A)…” for new host A
record creation.
In the resulting window enter the below information.
Name: cisco-capwap-controller The name the AP will look for in DNS.

IP Address: 10.1.10.254 IP address of the WLC

56
Click “Add Host when completed.
The below message will appear. Click “OK” to continue.
Click “Done” after accepting the message.
Now expand the “Reverse Lookup Zones” and right click the name as shown below.
Select “New Zone…” to create one.

57
In the resulting wizard window, click “Next >” to continue.
Click next twice more to get to the “Reverse Lookup Zone Name” page.

58

59
On the page shown above fill in the subnet information under “Network ID” which in
this case is 10.1.10.0/24, so enter “10.1.10”. Click the “Next >” button when completed.

60
Click next again.

61
Click finish and notice that there is now a “10.1.10.x Subnet” folder under “Reverse
Lookup Zones” on the left.
Right click in the white under the new “10.1.10.x Subnet” folder to create a “New
Pointer (PTR)…” or New Pointer Record.

62
In the resulting window fill in the last octet of the address of the WLC under “Host IP
number:” and then fill in the “Host Name:” before hitting the “OK” button.
Host IP Number: 254

Host Name: cisco-capwap-controller

63
Once back at the original window confirm the reverse DNS entry was created as shown
below.

64
Section 4.3 Confirm AP Registrations with the WLC and Connect a Third AP
This section will cover confirming that the 2504 WLC has now registered with the two
APs that are directly connected to it as well as connect the third AP via 3750 POE switch.
Begin by access the GUI of the 2504 WLC again and review the “MONITOR” screen.
Review the “Access Point Summary” at the bottom left of the screen to confirm that the
two currently connected APs have now registered with the help of the DNS or DHCP
configurations.
Now we connect the third AP to the 3750 switch which is POE. We connect this AP just
like the other two using the Ethernet port on the AP surrounded by yellow but connect
the other end to a switch port of the 3750. As long as the AP is placed in a port accessing

65
the same subnet at the WLC and currently configure DNS or DHCP items it will
automatically register with it. Review the below L2 diagram if needed for clarifications.
Once the AP is connected to the switch it will take a few moments to register. Return to
the WLC GUI to confirm its registration.

66

67
Part 5: Test WLAN Access and Review Configuration
This Part will cover testing the completed wireless network and reviewing the
configuration. The review of the WLC will include the client list as well as saving the
configuration to flash.
Section 5.1 Test the WLAN from a wireless client
This section will cover the test of the completed WLAN.
From the desktop of a Windows 7 PC in range of the Access points test the WLAN.
Above can be seen the SSID of the WLAN we created on the 2504 WLC. Click to connect
and test the WLAN.

68
Enter the PSK that was set on the WLAN and click “OK” to connect.

69
Open a CMD window and check the DHCP information that is received by the PC.
Above we can see that the windows client received a DHCP address from the server on
the example network. Now we test the access to the internet over the WLAN.

70
We can see above that the client was able to reach the internet. Now we will attempt to
navigate to www.cisco.com to confirm this.
As we can see above it was successful.

71
Section 5.2 Review the Configuration of the 2504 WLC
This section will cover reviewing the client list on the WLC and saving the final
configuration to flash.
From the WLC GUI navigate to “Clients” from the left pane when viewing the
“MONITOR” section.
Above is the client list that now has a client in the list.

72
Click on the mac address of the client in the list to view details about it.
On the client details page there are a number of options. Notice at the top right of the
page there is a “Remove” button for shunning clients from the WLAN. Also notice that
the IP address the client received is on the left under the clients MAC address as well as
its IPv6 address.
At this point the basic configuration of the WLC is completed and clients can now
successfully connect to the network wirelessly. At the top right of the GUI, click on the
“Save Configuration” link to save the current configuration to the flash of the 2504.

73
Make sure you receive the below message confirming the save and click “OK”.
After receiving the above message the configuration has been saved and the WLC is now
done.
