I have been using the python library called pySerial and wanted to share how I made it work on my end. I have used it to establish a console connection to a Cisco AP in order to perform send the initial set of configurations within a python script and automate the process. I will only [...]
I wanted to play around and see how I could automate the process of preparing a Cisco AP for an APoS site survey. So I decided to try it out on a Catalyst 9120 running IOS-XE. In this article, I will explain how to use the script. You can find the script on my GitHub: [...]
This is a very simple article just explaining how you can connect to a Cisco WLC (aireos) using a python script. You could use this as a first step in developing more advanced Python scripts to monitor or configure your Cisco Wireless Lan Controllers. I am still learning Python so this might not be the [...]
In this article, we will explain how to install the new Cisco Catalyst 9800-CL controller on a VM (under VMFusion) on macOS. The goal here is to have a lab controller that you can bring with you wherever you go and can be booted anytime and intended to be used for testing purposes. This is [...]
This article will explains how to convert a CAPWAP AP to a Cisco Mobility Express AP. The AP model used as an example in this article is a Cisco Aironet 2802i. Note: if you are planning on doing an AP-on-a-stick site survey with a Cisco Aironet 2800 or 3800, you will have to convert the [...]
This article explains how to configure a Cisco Mobility Express AP for an AP-on-a-Stick site survey using the CLI (Command Line Interface). It is also possible to do it using the provisioning SSID. Right before configuring the AP for the survey, I had to convert it from the CAPWAP mode to the Mobility Express mode. [...]
I usually support and configure Cisco wireless networks using the GUI. However, the CLI is sometimes required to perform some troubleshooting or configuration tasks. So I put together another reference guide. This one outlines the most useful Cisco AireOS commands. Feel free to download and use the reference sheet as much as you want. I [...]
Working with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, it is sometimes needed to save and export the configuration into a text file format. It could be needed for backup purposes. Personally, I often do it so I can import the configuration into the WLC config analyzer. This is a tool developped by Cisco which helps analyzing the [...]
In the lab, we currently have a little Cisco WLC 2504 with 2 APs Aironet 1702 running on AireOS v8.0. We wanted to try out the new Cisco wireless mobile application released by Cisco (more details here). In order to be able to use this application, you need to be running the new version of AireOS [...]
