2504 Wireless Controller connecting to 1142n Access_Point correct configuration and troubleshooting 3750 switches

I am working on trying to connect a 2504 Wireless_Controller to a 1142n Wireless_Access_Point
with the following configuration on a stack of four 3750 switches.  See my existing Configuration on the switches listed below.

My DHCP is working on 192.168.3.1 for assigning the laptop and address. I can ping out to the DNS Server
at 192.168.2.29 and Gateway 192.168.2.1, but can not get out over the internet from the laptop.

I can not ping back from the DNS Server 192.168.2.29 to anything on 192.168.3.3 laptop
or 192.168.3.5 Controller or Access_Point 192.168.3.6

Do I need to configure some trunk ports on the switches to route VLAN, even though they are all in the same stack?

I need to get the Access_Point IP DHCP bindings working?

I think you have to trunk your Access Point and your wireless controller ports

can you ping from the switch.
Yes, I can ping from the switch.  Here are some of the responses from the switch.

what is your gateway on the dns server? and also your other devices
My DNS Server is: 192.168.2.29 and Wireless Router Gateway 192.168.2.1 for the Internet.
set your gateway to your switch, your router probably don't know how to route to that Vlan.

Justin
I already have a static default route to my Router Gateway 192.168.2.1

S*   0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 192.168.2.1
Your APs should be connected to a switchport configured in access mode - not trunk mode (unless you're using FlexConnect).

The VLANs terminate at the WLC, so as long as the WLC ports are configured correctly on the switch and you've configured the dynamic interfaces appropriately you should be able to get an IP address at a client.

You have connected the WLC to a port at 100Mbps - what for?

Where's the IP address on the switch to talk to the gateway??
interface Vlan1
 ip address dhcp
 no ip mroute-cache
!
interface Vlan5
 ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0
!
ip classless
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1

Hello Craigbeck,

I am going to use the WLC and Access Points for guest access only and was wanting to limit the bandwidth used by wireless devices to 100 Mbps.

For the switch it is getting a dynamic IP Address from the Wireless Router using DHCP in the range of 192.168.2.0.  My Wireless Router is using 192.168.2.1 for the Gateway.  I could assign 192.168.2.2 to the switch, it may work better as you have mentioned.

I will make a few more programming changes on the switch to verify everything will work together as you have described.  Thanks for your reply!

Eugene
Ah ok I was just wondering :-)

Your router (192.168.2.1) needs a route back to the 192.168.3.0/24 subnet,  This means that using DHCP on the Vlan1 interface isn't such a good idea as you'll need to point that route from the router to the switch's Vlan1 IP.

Justin,

Okay, I will make those changes a little later, so that I do not affect the internet service while it is being used.  I will let you know, if there are any further problems with the way my current configuration was set up.  Thanks!

Eugene
I knew that my Wireless Guest network needed its own VLAN and IP Address so that it would be seperated from our Staff VLAN.  I did not really understand what was going to be required in getting this accomplished.    Your more detailed answer to my question has helped to resolve my issue.  Thanks!

Eugene
you can setup a new vlan on your switch and add the allow vlan list on that Access point port and the WLC port.
setup an interface in WLC, assign that interface with the VLAN created on the switch.

setup a new SSID assign the SSID with that interface.

then setup an ACL under WLC-->security, assign it to the SSID.
AP port should be access port not a trunk port.
