You can get APs VCIs here: Go to pfSense -> Services -> DHCP Server -> VLAN20 -> Additional BOOTP/DHCP Options -> Display Advanced Optionally, you can also add option 60 (VCI – Vendor Class Identifier). More detailed guide from Cisco concerning option 43 is here: You can help yourself with an option 43 generator ( ). Option 43 will tell access point the IP of the vWLC controller. APs will need to know the IP of the vWLC controller, so we need to setup option 43 in our DHCP server that’s running on pfSense. It will happen on management interface vlan, in my case VLAN 20. Access point provisioning, DHCP option 43 – management interface IP (this is a trunk interface, but it will ask you for a vlan tag that will become native vlan for this interface … Tag it, in my case VLAN 20, it needs to be static IP address, set it to IP address scheme that reflects your VLAN, in my case VLAN 20)Īfter installation is complete, you should be able to access vWLC webGUI via 4. – service port interface IP (you can use DHCP or static, this is a tagged/access port interface, with VLAN 200 in my case) Start up newly created VM with loaded vWLC ISO and begin installation The second interface should have no tag, that means it’s a trunk port (it can carry multiple VLANS).ģ. Create a new VM and add two interfaces.įirst interface should be tagged with service-port VLAN, in my case VLAN 200. Before creating interfaces in vWLC virtual machine, make sure your Proxmox bridges are VLAN aware.Ģ. Let’s say we will use VLAN 20 for management, VLAN 200 for service ports and VLAN 21 for wifi users. Service port has to be an access port only (untagged). Management interface has to be a trunk (tagged) port (carrying multiple vlans). VWLC requires two network interfaces, one for management and one for out of band (OOB) service port.

In my case, I want to support some older APs so I installed version 8.3.150. Check your access points models and see which vWLC supports your access points. vWLC iso file (you can get it from Cisco support site if you have a service contract, otherwise search the internet, hint: torrents (CTVM)).pfSense router with required VLANS created and tagged to Proxmox (I will not cover how to setup VLANs on pfSense).We are going to install Cisco wireless virtual controller on Proxmox hypervisor and connect it to pfSense router. yesid soto on Cisco ISR4331 – configure terminal command is not supported.vadash on Docker – Bitwarden_rs – self signed certificate.adminck on Docker – Bitwarden_rs – self signed certificate.adminck on HTU21D Raspberry pi Python Script.adminck on V380 chinese cheap cameras RTSP stream.Docker custom network and custom bridge pool.Cisco CX series bluetooth connection (C2960CX, C3560CX).
