Cisco Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 7600 Series Wireless Services Module (WiSM) Fehlerbehebungsanleitung

secure and unified wireless solution that supports wireless data, voice, and video applications.

The Cisco WiSM smoothly integrates into the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and a Cisco Catalyst 6500
Supervisor Engine 720. All Supervisor Engine 720 versions are supported. The WiSM is also supported on
Cisco 7600 Routers that run only Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(18)SXF5.

Note: Without any other service module installed, the Catalyst 6509 switch chassis can support up to seven
Cisco WiSMs, the Catalyst 6506 with a Supervisor 720 can support up to four Cisco WiSMs, and any other
Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis can support up to six Cisco WiSMs. If one or more service modules are
installed, the chassis can support up to a maximum of four service modules (WiSMs included). Redundant
supervisors cannot be used with these maximum configurations.

The Cisco WiSM consists of two Cisco 4404 Controllers, so the IT staff must be aware that two separate
controllers exist on a single module. The first controller is considered the WiSM−A card, while the second
controller is considered the WiSM−B card. Interfaces and IP addressing have to be considered on both cards
independently. WiSM−A manages 150 access points, while WiSM−B manages a separate lot of 150 access
points. These controllers can be grouped together in a mobility group that form a cluster.

There are multiple types of interfaces on each controller of the Cisco WiSM; three of them are pre−defined
types that must be present and configured at setup time:

Management interface (pre−defined and mandatory)

• 

AP−manager interface (pre−defined and mandatory)

• 

Virtual interface (pre−defined and mandatory)

• 

Operator−defined interface (user−defined)

• 

Service−port interface (pre−defined and mandatory)

• 

Read Configuring a Cisco Wireless Services Module and Wireless Control System for details of each of the
type of interfaces.

Note: If you have a WiSM trunk that includes VLANs in the range of 1 to 1000 and you intend to use only 1
to 10, enter the command:

After the Cisco WiSM controller is installed in a slot and detected by the Supervisor, these configurations are
made on the Supervisor Engine to communicate with WiSM.
