Initial System Configuration

Complete these steps:
  1. Upgrade the Catalyst 65XX with the IOS software 12.2(33)SXJ provided on Cisco.com. Only after upgrading the Catalyst IOS software will the system recognize the WiSM2 blade. Upgrade of the Catalyst IOS can be done via TFTPing the new IOS software to the system or by simply copying the image into the flash card. The flash card has to be 256 MB in size or larger. Here is an example:
    CAT6504-MA#dir disk1:
    Directory of disk1:/
    
        1  -rw-        4713  Jul 12 2010 20:36:44 +00:00  cat6504-ma
        2  -rw-        8112   Mar 1 2007 19:18:56 +00:00  running-config
        3  -rw-   130796804  Mar 30 2011 14:49:24 +00:00  
          s72033-adventerprise_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ.bin
    
    512040960 bytes total (381222912 bytes free)
  2. Issue the reload command on the Cat650X in order to restart the Cat65XX. Then, reboot the system with the new image and make sure the "boot image" is pointing to the new Catalyst IOS image on the system or the flash disk as in this example:
    rommon 1 > dir disk1:
    
    Initializing ATA monitor library...
    Directory of disk1:
    
    5      130796804 -rw-     s72033-adventerprise_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ.bin
    35816    4713      -rw-     cat6504-ma
    4      8112      -rw-     running-config
    rommon 2 > boot disk1:s72033-adventerprise_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ.bin
    
  3. After you reload with the new software, the sh version command will show the version of software as posted on Cisco.com. Make sure the proper software is loaded:
    CAT6504-MA#sh version

  5. If the module is not on the list, reset the system again. If the module is shown in the list, proceed with the next step.
    Note: The next few steps are done to install/upgrade and configure the software on the WiSM2 in the Catalyst 65XX switch.
  6. You can load the software via the command line interface. Configuration via WebUI is not available at this point since the Management Interface on the wireless controller is not configured yet. The controller should be configured to operate properly on your network and configured with the IP addresses of your working subnets. You can configure the wireless controller by directly attaching it to the console ports on the WiSM2 controller or opening a console session to the controller module from the Catalyst interface as shown here.
    Note:  You can access the WiSM2 through a session command directly now.

  8. If you need to reset the WiSM2 controller in the Catalyst chassis, use this command:
    (Config)# hw module <#> reset
    
    If you need to reset the controller to factory defaults - watch the screen, while attached to the console port on the WiSM2 controller, for the reset option to come up and then hit <esc> key. In the controller menu, choose option 4 to reset the controller to factory defaults. In order to power the WiSM2 wireless controller in the Catalyst chassis OFF or ON, use this command:
    (Config)#power enable module <#>
    

Configure Sup720 and WiSM2 Communication

Complete these steps in order to configure Sup 720 – WiSM2 communication:
  1. The Catalyst 65XX-E SUP module will communicate to the WiSM2 board via internal Service port interface on the WiSM2 card. Complete these steps in order to properly configure the interfaces and VLANs on the Catalyst 65XX to communicate properly with the WiSM2 blade. The Service port on the WiSM2 card should be configured for DHCP address or static IP address.
    Note: Service Port IP address should be on the different subnet from the Management interfaces of the controller.
  2. Create a VLAN in the Supervisor 720. This VLAN is local to the chassis and is used for communication between Cisco WiSM and Catalyst Supervisor 720 over a Gigabit interface on the Supervisor and service-port in the Cisco WiSM.
    Note: All VLAN numbers and IP addresses are examples.
    
    !--- Assign an appropriate IP address and 
    !--- subnet mask for VLAN 22
    
    interface Vlan22
    ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.254.0
    
  3. If during controller configuration you chose the DHCP address for the service port, create a DHCP scope for the service port of the Cisco WiSM in Supervisor 720 or on a standalone DHCP server:
    Ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.50
  4. Associate the VLAN for the service port.
    
    !---Configure this command to use vlan 22
    !--- in order to communicate with the service-port.
    
    wism service-vlan 22
    
  5. Issue the show wism status command in order to verify that the Cisco WiSM received an IP address from the DHCP server.
    Cat650X# show wism status
    CAT6504-MA#sh wism status
    
    Service Vlan : 22, Service IP Subnet : 192.168.2.1/255.255.254.0

    Manual LAG configuration is not supported in Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2(33) SXI and later. Auto-lag will be created by the system automatically for you.
    
    !--- Create the VLAN in the Supervisor 720 
    !--- in order to communicate with the management port
    !--- Assign an appropriate IP address and subnet 
    !--- mask for VLAN 70
    !

    ip address 10.70.0.5 255.255.255.0
    end
    
    !
    
    
  6. The Supervisor automatically creates a port-channel interface for the independent controller in the Cisco WiSM2 as soon as the module is detected. Usually, the port-channels have a high number, such as 405 in this example:
    Cat650X#sh ip int brief
    GigabitEthernet3/4    unassigned     YES unset  administratively down down
    Port-channel3         unassigned     YES unset  down             down
    Port-channel405       unassigned     YES unset  up               up
    Vlan1                 unassigned     YES NVRAM  administratively down down
    Vlan22                192.168.2.1    YES NVRAM  up               up
    VLAN70                10.70.0.5      YES NVRAM  up               up
    Vlan192               192.168.0.1    YES NVRAM  up               up
    CAT6504-MA#
  7. Additionally, make sure that you allow VLANs that are configured in the Cisco WiSM2 through the port-channel and Gigabit interfaces with these commands. Make sure the VLANs are also active.
    Cat-6K(config)# wism module {#} controller {#} allowed-vlan {vlan range}
    Cat-6K(config)# wism module {#} controller {#} native-vlan {vlan id}
    Cat-6K(config)# wism module {#} controller {#}  qos {trust/vlan-based}  
    <dscp/cos/ip-precedence> - Trust state of theLAG Interface 
    
    Note: Configure the controller with this commands. Here is an example:
    !
    wism  module 3 controller 1 allowed-vlan 10-120
    wism module 3 controller 1 native-vlan 70
    wism module 3 controller 1 qos vlan-based
    !
    Note: See Appendix B for a complete example of the Catalyst 6504 configuration.
  8. The new command Cat-6K(config)#wism module {#} controller {#} qos vlan-based- VLAN Based QoS should be enabled for policing the wireless to wired traffic on the Catalyst 6K.
  9. Verify the previous configuration command execution:
    #show wism module 3 controller 1 status
    
    CAT6504-#show wism module 3 controller 1 status
    
    WiSM Controller 1 in Slot 3 configured with auto-lag
    
    Operational Status of the Controller : Oper-Up

    CAT6504-MA#
  10. Summary: The Cisco WiSM2 controller is inserted into the appropriate slot and powered on. The basic configuration is completed with the help of the setup script. With the completion of basic configuration, you can configure the Cisco WiSM2 controller through the console CLI or through the Cisco WiSM2 controller web-interface. In order to use the session command, you have to make sure that the service port on the Cisco WiSM2 is assigned a static or DHCP assigned IP address. You need to configure WLC separately in the Cisco WiSM2 module, initially from the CLI and then from the web interface.
  11. Now you can connect to the controller management interface via GUI or console session with your laptop connected with Ethernet or wireless connection and continue the configuration.
    wism2-deploy-guide-03.gif
  12. Check the Licenses available on the controller. If the count is zero, contact License TAC support team to refresh the Licenses.
  13. Have the APs join the WiSM2 across a Layer 2/3 network switch.
  14. Have the Wireless Clients connect to the LAP and send traffic to the external servers and other wireless clients and make sure traffic (that is, ping) makes it through without any drops.
  15. This completes Basic Sup 720 and WiSM2 configuration. Additional configuration changes can be made via the WebUI interface just like on any other wireless controller. This WiSM2 deployment guide does not go into details of the wireless controller configuration.

Configure WiSM2 from WCS

Just like any other wireless controller, the WiSM2 controller can be configured from the WCS. WCS ver 7.0.172.0 or higher is required for WCS to recognize and configure WiSM2 controllers.
wism2-deploy-guide-04-1.gif
The image below shows how a WCS manages WiSM and WiSM2 controllers, including the slots in which they are inserted and the internal port to which they are connected.
Note: WiSM always comes up as two controllers and the new WiSM2 shows as one controller.
wism2-deploy-guide-05-1.gif

Configure Sup720 and WiSM2 Communication in a VSS Mode

The key enabler of the VSS technology is a special link that binds the two chassis together, called a Virtual Switch Link (VSL).
wism2-deploy-guide-06.gif
Note: Supervisor 720-3C-10GE or Supervisor 720-3CXL-10GE required to support VSS mode.
The most important change with the Cisco WiSM in a VSS environment is the way you access and manage it. In a Cisco VSS environment, a switch ID is required for many commands used to administer the WiSM2.
The slots start from 17 and ends in 29 for 13 slot chassis for Switch 1, and from 33 and ends in 45 for 13 slot chassis switch 2.

Manual LAG configuration is not supported in Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2(33)SXJ and later. Auto-lag configuration will be configured for you by the system.
The Supervisor Module automatically creates two port-channel interfaces for the two independent controllers in the VSS switch for WiSM2s as soon as the module is detected. Usually the port-channels have a high number. The EtherChannel for WiSM2 starts from 689 and ends in 746.

The Catalyst 65XX-E VS-S720-10G module will communicate to the WiSM2 boards via internal Service VLAN that has to be defined just like a single chassis configuration:
(Cat-6K)# wism service-vlan {vlan id}
Example of configuration on the Catalyst 6500:
interface vlan22
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.254.0
wism service-vlan 22
Create a DHCP scope for the Service Port of the Cisco WiSM2 in Supervisor 720 or on a standalone DHCP server. For Example:
Ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.50
Allow VLANs that are configured in the Cisco WiSM2 through the port-channel and Gigabit interfaces with these commands:
Cat-6K(config)# wism switch (#) module {#} controller 1 allowed-vlan {vlan range}
Cat-6K(config)# wism switch (#) module {#} controller 1 native-vlan {vlan id}
Cat-6K(config)# wism switch (#) module {#} controller 1 qos trust <dscp/cos/ip-precedence> - Trust state of the Interface
Cat-6K(config)# wism switch (#) module {#} controller 1 qos vlan-based- VLAN Based QoS should be enabled for policing the wireless to wired traffic on Catalyst 6K.
To verify the proper module installations in the VSS mode, issue this command:
show wism switch 2 module 4 controller  1 status
VSS#show wism switch 2 module 4 controller 1 status

WiSM Controller 1 in slot 36 configured with auto-lag

Check the Licenses available on the controller. If the count is zero, contact License TAC support team to refresh the Licenses.
Have the APs join the WiSM2 across a Layer 2/3 network switch.
Have Wireless Clients connect to the LAP and send traffic to external servers and other wireless clients and make sure traffic (that is, ping) makes it through without any drops.
This completes Basic Sup 720 and WiSM2 configuration. Additional configuration changes can be made via the WebUI interface just like on any other wireless controller. This WiSM2 deployment guide does not go into the details of wireless controller configuration.
This also completes VSS installation of the WiSM2 modules in the Catalyst VSS configuration. Additional configuration changes can be made via the WebUI interface just like on any other wireless controller. This WiSM2 deployment guide does not go into the details of wireless controller configuration.
