Webauth stops redirecting after some time: CSCtx00942

We hit this bug a few weeks ago. I love the work around -- Reboot your controller for another week or so. I understand Cisco is working on this bug.

As a side note. Software will have bugs and I appreciate the fact Cisco will publish these in a timley fashion and not hide their issues like some "other" vendors I know.

 

Webauth stops redirecting after some time

Symptom:
It is seen on 7.0.220 4404 WLC that users in the webauth SSID are not redirected to the login page anymore after 1 week or so.

This message appears :
sshglue.c:7009 WebAuth HTTP Redirect rule creation failed for peer 192.168.1.8

Conditions:
webauth, 4404 running 7.0.116/220
Workaround:

A reboot solves the problem for another week or so

    WLC: AP Managers Are Pingable - 7.x onwards

    Since the very beginning the AP manager on a Cisco WLC would never respond to pings. Well that has all changed if you use LAG and a AP manager with 7.x code!

    I like how Cisco hides little nuggets in their documentation. It states, in LAG mode, the management and AP manager uses the same base LAG MAC address.


    Note With the 7.0 release onwards, the MAC address of the management interface and the AP-manager interface is the same as the base LAG MAC address.

    LAB

    A show ARP on the distribution switch you can see the MAC is identical for both the manager and AP manager.

    NOTE --

    This was tested on 4402,4404 and 5508 model controllers.

    AP manager(s) aren't needed with a 5508.

    This only applies to a WLC in LAG mode w/ AP Manager

    Cisco Field Notice: Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN Brute Force Vulnerability

    Note the WPS vulnerability is with home and soho devices and not with Cisco enterprise gear. Note the models below:

    Cisco Response

    On December 27th, 2011 US-CERT released VU#723755 available here: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/723755

    The US-CERT Vulnerability Note describes a vulnerability that exists in the Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) protocol, also known as Wi-Fi Simple Config, when devices are operating in PIN External Registrar (PIN-ER) mode.  Devices operating in PIN-ER mode allow a WPS capable client to supply only the correct WPS PIN to configure their client on a properly secured network.  A weakness in the protocol affects all devices that operate in the PIN-ER mode, and may allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to brute force the WPS configuration PIN in a short amount of time.

    The vulnerability is due to a flaw that allows an attacker to determine when the first 4-digits of the eight-digit PIN are known.  This effectively reduces the PIN space from 107 or 10,000,000 possible values to 104 + 103 which is 11,000 possible values. The eighth digit of the PIN is utilized as a checksum of the first 7 digits and does not contribute to the available PIN space. Because the PIN space has been significantly reduced, an attacker could brute force the WPS pin in as little as a few hours.

    While the affected devices listed below implement the WPS 1.0 standard which requires that a 60-second lockout be implemented after three unsuccessful attempts to authenticate to the device, this does not substantially mitigate this issue as it only increases the time to exploit the protocol weakness from a few hours to at most several days.  It is our recommendation to disable the WPS feature to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability.

    Vulnerable Products:

    Product Name
    Is the WPS feature enabled by default?
    Can the WPS feature be permanently disabled?

    Cisco WLC 5508 License Gotcha ! (12 AP WLC can only support 487 APs)

    Did you know ? If you purchased a Cisco 5508 WLC with a 12 access point license you just limited yourself to 487 access points?

    The Cisco 5508 is licensed based which means you can add access point licenses as your wireless grows. The Cisco 5508 allows a maximum of 500 access points. This is a new model for Cisco Wireless Lan Controllers. The now legacy 2000,2100,4400 and WISM1 were licensed by the hardware itself.

    You can purchase Cisco 5508 WLC with a 12,25,50,100,250 or 500 access point capacity. Or you can purchase what Cisco calls adder licenses in the quantities of 25,50,100, and 250 access points after the fact.

    The license limitation becomes an issue with your initial purchase of a 5508 with a 12 access point license.

    Since Cisco only resells 25,50,100 and 250 access point licenses the MAX you will ever get on your WLC is 487 access points.

    Note: A 5500 Series WLC with a base license of 12 can only support up to 487 total APs because only 25, 50, 100, and 250 adder licenses are supported.

    How to upload the running AP IOS image to a TFTP Server

    Special Guest Post By: Steven Rodriguez
    Since Cisco is locking down software downloads, you may have a need to pull code off your existing access points. Here is a quick recap showing how to process the code with the archive command!


    Ever lost the code you were running on an AP?  Then need to load that code to another?  What if that codes not available for download from CCO anymore?  Well, there's a pretty easy process to get through to get the image from an AP, and onto your TFTP server.

    In this example, I am using a 1131, running 12.4(21a)JY

    The first thing you need, is a TFTP server.  There are plenty of free ones out there.  I tested this with TFTPd32 on a PC, and with TFTPServer on a Mac(10.6).

    So on the PC, it's pretty easy.  Configure your TFTP Server




    Once you've stopped then started the server, you simply need to issue the command

    archive upload-sw tftp://192.168.15.11/c1130-k9w7-mx.124-21a.JY.tar

    As this command is running, it extracts the current running IOS, including the HTML files, and tar them as it's sending to the TFTP server.  <Term mon if you want to watch the process run.>


    On the Mac, I found it to be a little bit different.  With my Mac, even though I did a chmod 777 on my tftp directory, I had to do the following before I attempted to upload the software.



    Once the file is 'created' in my target directory it becomes the same as the PC version.

    archive upload-sw tftp://192.168.15.6/c1130-k9w7-mx.124-21a.JY.tar


    Now, if you have multiple versions of code that have been extracted to your AP, there is a switch that can be used, /version

    archive upload-sw /version c1130-k9w7-mx.124-21a.JY tftp://192.168.15.6/c1130-k9w7-mx.124-21a.JY.tar
                                                     ^this would be the version you wanted to upload.

    Basic Cisco AP Debugging - Autonomous IOS

    A great post from Aaron Leonard (Cisco TAC)

    These are debugs that you can collect while logged into the IOS CLI.

    Basic setup

    If you see a prompt that ends in a right angle bracket, like this:

    ap>

    it means that you are in unprivileged mode, so get privileged (which shows a # prompt):

    ap>enable

    Password:

    ap#

    (default username/password on APs is "Cisco".)

    Configure NTP, timestamps, line timeout

    ap#configure terminal

    ap(config)#sntp server 1.2.3.4

    ap(config)#service timestamp debug datetime msec

    ap(config)#service timestamp log datetime msec

    ap(config)#logging rate-limit 500

    ap(config)#no logging console

    [1]

    ap(config)#line con 0

    ap(config-line)#no exec-timeout

    ap(config-line)#line vty 0 4

    ap(config-line)#no exec-timeout

    ap(config)#exit

    ap#write   (if you wan to to save the configuration changes to NVRAM)

    #

    [1] if you're going to generate debug messages at an extremely high rate, should be sure to turn off console logging, otherwise the AP will hang.  (If your access is via the console, then of course you would need some other way to see the debugs then - e.g.

    write them to a logging buffer, or to an external syslog server

    .  Or

    increase the console port speed to 115200

    .)

     

    Collecting debugs from telnet or ssh session

    Telnet/ssh into the AP, then enter the command "terminal monitor".  The debug messages will be written to your terminal window.  To save the messages, configure your terminal emulator accordingly.

     

    Collecting debugs from a console session

    Some development special debug output will be written only to the console.  So in such a case, you must connect a serial cable to the AP's console port and access this cable via a terminal emulator program (e.g. Windows Hyperterminal talking to a PC COM port.)  The default console port speed is 9600 bps which is too slow to collect a large volume of debugs - so increase the speed to 115200 bps, its maximum:

    ap#configure terminal

    ap(config)#logging console
    ap(config)#line con 0


    ap(config-line)#no exec-timeout
    ap(config-file)#speed 115200

     

    at this point, the terminal emulator program on the serial line will no longer be able to communicate with the console port, till you reset its speed to 115200 bps to match.

    Radio names

    The radios are usually called Dot11Radio0 (2.4GHz) and Dot11Radio1 (5GHz.)

     

     

    ajax#show ip int brief
    Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
    BVI1                       10.0.47.21      YES DHCP   up                    up 
    Dot11Radio0                unassigned      YES unset  up                    up 
    Dot11Radio1                unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
    FastEthernet0              unassigned      YES other  up                    up

    You can abbreviate them to do0 and do1:

    ajax#show controller do0
    [...]
    Radio AIR-AP1131G, Base Address 0012.44b3.e000, BBlock version 0.00, Software version 6.20.6
    [...]
    Configured Frequency: 2442 MHz  Channel 7

     

    Basic show commands

     

    radio information

     

    ajax#show interface dot11radio0
    ajax#show controller dot11radio0

     

    client information

     

    ajax#show dot11 associations
    ajax#show dot11 associations all

     

    AP information

     

    ajax#show config     <= configuration (from NVRAM)
    ajax#show run          <= configuration (in memory)
    ajax#show version     <= model, version info
    ajax#show tech          <= everything - do "term length 0" first

     

    Other basic commands

     

    ajax#clear dot11 client 0011.2233.4455  <= deauthenticate a client
    ajax#clear int dot11radio0              <= reset a radio
    ajax#reload                    <= reboot the AP

     

    Basic debug commands

     

    radio debugs

    ajax#no debug dot11 dot11radio0 print printf  <= sometimes necessary to get radio debugs to log correctly

    ajax#debug dot11 dot11radio0 trace print ?    <= show list of flags
    -- example:
    -- debug dot11 dot11radio0 trace print mgmt keys  <= mgmt frames & keying

     

    dot1x/RADIUS debugs

     

    ajax#debug dot11 aaa authenticator state-machine
    ajax#debug dot11 aaa authenticator txdata
    ajax#debug dot11 aaa authenticator rxdata
    ajax#debug radius

     

    Example debug output

    This example uses all of the above listed debugs.  This shows a client being deauthed, then successfully associating in LEAP with WPA2/AES.  Note that the messages aren't all logged in order, i.e. the 802.11 association response sent by the AP is logged after the EAP ID-Request message is logged.

    Recover WEP, Admin, Guest account Password from WLC

    Salil Prabhu from Cisco TAC did a great post on how to recover WEP, ADMIN and Guest account passwords. Note this will not yield the PSK key. As you can not pull the PSK from a WLC.

    Procedure to Recover WEP,Admin,Guest account Password from WLC

    Step 1 :

    1. (Cisco Controller) >show switchconfig

    802.3x Flow Control Mode......................... Disable
    FIPS prerequisite features....................... Disabled
    secret obfuscation............................... Enabled

    (Cisco Controller) >config switchconfig secret-obfuscation disabled

    Secret (de-)obfuscation may take a few minutes.

    Please wait...  Done!

     

    (Cisco Controller) >config passwd-cleartext enable

    The way you see your passwds will be changed

    You are being warned.

    Enter admin password: ***********

    Enabling cleartext viewing of passwords

     

    Step 2:

     

    2. Download config from the WLC. Commands --> Upload configuration from
    WLC to tftp server.

     

    Step 3:
    3. Open the file in notepad :

    Understanding Cisco Access Point IOS Images

    From Aaron Leonard - Cisco

    All Cisco Aironet wireless access points and bridges currently being shipped run IOS.  The only exception is the OEAP602.  (Some older Cisco access points did not run IOS, such as the Aironet 340 which ran only VxWorks, and the 1000 series lightweight APs.)

    Access Point IOS is distributed as a tar file.  These tar files can be downloaded from cisco.com SDS; lightweight IOS images (k9w8) are also bundled in the WLC software images (.aes.)

    The IOS image names include the following components:

    platform-featureset-tar.version.tar

    • platform- the access point hardware model or family supported by the image       
      • examples: c1250; ap3g1 - 3500/1260; ap801- AP embedded in 881W; c1520 - 1520/1550
    • featureset- the set of software features supported by the image - one of:      
      • k9w7 - autonomous IOS
      • k9w8 - full lightweight IOS (this is what is bundled in the WLC .aes image, and is factory installed on "mesh" APs)
      • rcvk9w8 - lightweight recovery image - this is factory installed on lightweight APs, unless a "mesh" image is specified; it lacks radio firmware
    • version- the IOS version       

     

    Example: c1240-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA1.tar

    • Platform: c1240: 1240 series AP
    • Featureset: k9w7: autonomous IOS
    • Version: 124-25d.JA1: 12.4(25d)JA1

     


    As AP IOS is always distributed as a tar file, the AP cannot directly execute such a file (thus, if you were to copy c1240-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA1.tar directly onto AP flash, and then try to boot it, this could not work.)  The tar file contains, in addition to the IOS image proper, the radio firmware files, the HTML GUI files (if present), and various other files.  The AP IOS tar file must be unbundled into AP flash using the archive exec command (this is done in an automated fashion when a lightweight AP is upgraded after joining a WLC.)  After unbundling, the IOS image itself be in a file called flash:/platform-featureset-mx.version/platform-featureset-mx.version - for example, flash:/c1240-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA1/c1240-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA1.  The AP is configured to boot this image if the bootloader BOOT environmental variable is set accordingly.

    Autonomous IOS Support for 3500 and 3600 Series Access Points

    From Tac:

    Cisco TAC does not support running autonomous IOS (aIOS) on the 3500 or 3600 Series Access Points.  These access points are  supported only when running in lightweight mode (Cisco Unified Wireless Network.)

    The 12.4(25d)JA1 aIOS image for the 1260 series access point (ap3g1-k9w7) will load on a 3500 series AP, and may be used on an "as-is" basis.  Cisco will provide no support for this use case, and will not warrant that future 1260 aIOS images will continue to load on 3500 series APs.

    The 1260 series AP aIOS images will not load on a 3600 series AP, which requires an ap3g2 image.  There are no aIOS images available for the 3600 series.

    What is Time-Domain Reflectometer (TDR) - Have your switch test your cable!

    This is a handy trick to test your cable from a Cisco switch. My buddy Leo wrote this up.

     

     

    What is Time-Domain Reflectometer (TDR)?

    “A time-domain reflectometer (TDR) is an electronic instrument used to characterize and locate faults in metallic cables (for example, twisted wire pairs, coaxial cables)1.”

     

    For the sake of this document, “TDR testing” and “TDR” are used interchangeably in this document to sow confusion to the un-initiated. They both mean the same.

    How can TDR help me?

    TDR, in its simplest form, can help you determine IF you have a cable problem, WHICH pair(s) is/are faulty and HOW FAR away the fault is.

     

    Typically, when you have a Layer 1 issue there are a lot of factors to consider:

    1. Local-end Side (LeS) patch cable;
    2. Local-end Side (LeS) patch panel (including punch block);
    3. Horizontal cable;
    4. Remote-end (Red) patch panel (including punch block);
    5. Remote-end (Red) patch cable; and
    6. Remote-end (Red) device NIC

     So you see, dear readers, TDR minimize the guess-work.

     

     

    Picture this …

    Before we begin, let me give you the “lay of the land”. Presume the following scenario:

     

    Drawing1.jpg

     


    What model of Cisco switch does TDR work on?

    Firstly, not all switch model support TDR. TDR feature first came out with the Catalyst 2960. So here is the list of which ones will work and will not:

     

    Model

    TDR Support

    2960

    Yes1, 2

    2960G

    Yes

    2960S

    Yes

    2918

    Unknown

    2350

    Unknown

    2360

    Unknown

    2975

    Unknown

    3560

    No

    3560G

    Yes

    3560E/3560X

    Yes

    3750

    No

    3750G

    Yes

    3750E/3750X

    Yes

    Nexus 2K

    Unknown

    Nexus 5K

    Unknown

    Nexus 7K

    Yes3

     

     

    Note:  

    1.        The 2960 will support TDR in both the FastEthernet and dual-personality GigiabitEthernet port, however, when used on a FastEthernet port, TDR will only test the first two pairs, namely Pairs A & B.  For obvious reasons, Pairs C and D will not be tested when used on non-GigabitEthernet ports.

    2.       Except the WS-C2960-48PDL, when using the copper GigabitEthernet port of the Catalyst 2960, one must manually set the interface to copper using the command “media rj” before the test can be conducted.

    3.       Confirmed by Cisco TAC, Ankur Garg.

     

    The list does not include modules/blades for the Catalyst 4000/4500, 5000/5500, 6000/6500 although it is mentioned here that TDR was introduced with IOS Release 12.2 ZY for the Catalyst 6000/6500. It’s not included in the list above because I don’t have the resources to test and verify.

     

    Legacy Cisco Catalyst models 1900, 2900XL/3500XL, 2940/2950/2955, 2948G and 2970 are not supported. Routers are also not supported. I do not have any resources to test router Ethernet Switch Modules (NME, HWIC, EHWIC). Wireless Access Points do not support TDR.

     

    Why doesn’t the FastEthernet-flavoured 3560 and 3750 support TDR and but the cheaper FastEthernet 2960 support TDR?

     

    Base on the time-line, the “plain” (or non-GigabitEthernet copper port) 3560 and 3750 came out BEFORE the 2960. The “chip” for the TDR was included in the design of the 2960. When Cisco released the 3560G and 3750G later, someone made the ultimate decision to include the TDR feature as a standard. Therefore, the plain 3560 and 3750 are the only two series that WON’T HAVE the TDR feature. (Take note reader: Emphasis on the words “WON’T HAVE”)

     


    Any Gotchas I need to be aware of?

    • Switches need to run IOS version 12.2 or later. TDR is supported in IOS version 15.0. IOS version 12.0 and 12.1 do NOT support TDR.

     

    • If you are running IOS version 12.2(46)SE or earlier, TDR test is DISRUPTIVE. During the test, the interface will go down and up. For obvious reasons, anything connected will lose network connectivity.

     

    • If the remote-end device is a power-over-ethernet (PoE) device, the test will cause the device to lose power. If you have, for example, a Voice over IP (VoIP) phone and a PC client is connected to the phone, both the phone and client will lose network connectivity because the phone does not have a bypass functionality. This will affect ALL IOS versions.

     

    • Particularly when you are running old IOS versions, the test can take between five (5) to seven (7) seconds.

     

    • TDR works on 10/100/1000BaseTx. Fibre optic ports (any flavours) is not covered/discussed here. TenGigabitEthernet copper port DOES NOT (YET) support TDR.

     

    • Cisco GLC-T/GLC-TX SFP module does NOT support TDR.

     

    The next two Gotcha items are for those who plan to use the TDR feature on Cisco Catalyst 2960 and 2960G (2960S not included):

     

    • 1. The 2960 will support TDR in both the FastEthernet and dual-personality GigiabitEthernet port, however, when used on a FastEthernet port, TDR will only test the first two pairs, namely Pairs A & B. For obvious reasons, Pairs C and D will not be tested when used on non-GigabitEthernet ports. Pairs C and D will report a result of “Not Supported”.

     

    • 2. Except the WS-C2960-48PDL, when using the copper GigabitEthernet (Gig 0/1 and Gig 0/2) ports of the Catalyst 2960, one must manually set the interface to copper using the command “media rj” before the test can be conducted.

     


    How to use TDR?

    The commands are very simple: One to start the test and the second command to display the result. Here is simple procedure:

     

    1. Command to start the TDR: “test cable tdr interface <interface of your choice>”;
    2. Wait for about 5 to 7 seconds for the test to run; and
    3. Command to show the result of the TDR test: “show cable tdr interface <interface of your choice>”

     

    See? Easy! Now let’s see what the I results would look like.

    Local pair

    Pair length

    Remote pair

    Pair status

    Pair B

    Pair B

    Pair C

    3 +/- 1 meters

    Pair C

    Normal



    Pair D

    3 +/- 1 meters

    Pair D

    Normal

     

    So what does this result above tell us?

     

    1. Port tested is on GigabitEthernet 0/1;
    2. Port has negotiated to 1 Gbps;
    3. Cable use is a straight-through cable (look and compare the values of “Local pair” and “remote pair”);
    4. Cable length is approximately 3 metres long and an error (length-wise) of 1 metre; and
    5. All four pairs are working fine (Pair status)

     

    Under “Pair status” you can get the following results:

     

    Result

    Explaination

    Normal

    Ideal result you want.

    • If testing FastEthernet, you want Pair A and B as “Normal”.
    • If testing GigabitEthernet, you want ALL as “Normal”.

    Open

    Open circuit. This means that one (or more) pair has “no pin contact”.

    Short

    Short circuit.

    Impedance Mismatched

    Bad cable. For more explanation, go here.

     

    An ideal result is “Normal”. In practice, whether the remote-end device is FastEthernet or GigabitEthernet, I will never accept a TDR result other than “Normal” in all four pairs.

     


    Cable Pairs explained?

     

    This is how I see what each Pairs control:

     

    Pairs

    Function

    A

    This pair controls whether or not the port should go up or not.

    B

    Protocol-level and controls FastEthernet.

    C

    Power over Ethernet (PoE)

    D

    GigabitEthernet

     

    More examples

     

    Interface

    Speed

    Local pair

    Pair A

    Normal



    Pair C

    0 +/- 1 meters

    Pair D

    Open



    Pair D

    0 +/- 1 meters

    Pair C

    Open

     

    Normally, this result would freak me out. Look at the items in RED. Pairs C and D are reporting a cable value of “0”. Next I move to the “Pair status” and it’s reported as an Open circuit. No pin contact. Whao! But look at the speed. It’s 100 Mbps. So it’s normal … I guess.

     

    But wait. What if the remote-end side (Red) client is a GigabitEthernet. So where is the faulty cabling? Which one of the patch cables? Or is it a horizontal cabling? Does the client support GigabitEthernet or not?

     

    Here’s another clue: Look at the length of the cable for Pair A and B. It’s reporting around 12 to 13 metres. Experience has taught me that my Local-end Side (LeS) cable doesn’t exceed two metres. So that rules out my cable, however the horizontal cabling is more than 10 metres. So what’s between the horizontal cabling and the remote-end client? You have three suspects: 1) The remote-end punch block; 2) the remote-end patch cable; and 3) remote-end client.

     

    Culprit was the remote-end punch block and the horizontal cabling: Cable contractors only terminated two pairs.

     


    Never ask a boy to do a man’s job!

    Pair D

    Pair C

    Its results like the ones above that makes me want to cry.

     

    Ok, I look under “Pair status” and I see “Short/Impedance Mism” for Pair C and D. No question about it. It’s bad cabling. This is not what makes me want to cry. Look at under “Pair length” of Pair A and B. NOW cry.

     


    Should I be worried?

    Pair D

    Looking at the result, I can confidently say that the appliance was a 48-port Cisco Catalyst 2960. How? Look under “Interface”. Look at “Pair status” for Pair C and D. Only the plain 2960 FastEthernet ports can support TDR.

     

    But look at “Pair status” for Pairs A and B. What does that mean?

    It means that the remote-end (Red) patch cable is missing.

    WCS and Navigator Compatibility

    Cisco WCS and Cisco WCS Navigator must be from the same release in order to be compatible (see Table 6). Although the release numbers will not be the same, you must verify whether they were part of the same release.

    For example, Cisco WCS Navigator 1.0 is compatible with Cisco WCS 4.1, and Cisco WCS Navigator 1.1.x is compatible with any Cisco WCS 4.2.x.


    Note When Cisco WCS Navigator is upgraded to a new version, the corresponding Cisco WCS must also be upgraded to the corresponding new version. For example, if Cisco WCS Navigator is upgraded to version 1.6, Cisco WCS must also be upgraded to the corresponding version 7.0.

    Insulin pump hack delivers fatal dosage over the air

    Medtronic ignore original attempts to fix this problem back in August. As a wireless engineer focusing in the Healthcare vertical its always important to test all your medical devices prior to deployment. A simple port scan could yield valuable information and potential means to access these devices. Often times, vendors will leave default logon credentials allowing access.

    The attack on wireless insulin pumps made by medical devices giant Medtronic was demonstrated Tuesday at the Hacker Halted conference in Miami. It was delivered by McAfee's Barnaby Jack, the same researcher who last year showed how to take control of two widely used models of automatic teller machines so he could to cause them to spit out a steady stream of dollar bills.

    Blake Krone - His Journey Passing The CCIE Wireless !

    I wanted to show some love to my buddy Blake Krone. Blake completed his CCIE wireless journey a few weeks ago. He is a true inspiration to us all …

    Blake worked hard and diligently in search of the elusive CCIEW number. After his 4th attempt we chatted briefly and he shared his thoughts about giving up. He was so close the last few attempts he decided to give it one more try before v2. And we’re all glad that he did! I understand he is perhaps #48 to have passed ... Truly a great achievement !

    I want to wish Blake and his family a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday season.

    Blake Krone - CCIE#31229

    Voice Over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) Troubleshooting Checklist

    Cisco VoWLAN checklist is a great way to plan your config and to reference when you are having voice issues.

     

    Recommendation
    Best Practice
    May Consider
    Done

    Verify an AP can be seen from the phone at -67 dBm or better in all areas to be covered. You also need to verify that the AP sees the phone at -67 dBm or better in all areas as well.

    X

       

    Ensure that the SNR is always 25 dB or higher in all areas to provide coverage.

    X

       

    Verify that channel utilization is under 50%.

    X

       

    Configure voice WLAN to use the 802.11a band.

     

    X

     

    If using EAP authentication, ensure that fast roaming is supported such as CCKM.

    X

       

    WMM should be allowed or required for the voice WLAN.

    X

       

    Voice WLAN should be marked with Platinum QoS.

    X

       

    Platinum QoS profile should have the 802.1p bits set to 6.

    X

       

    Verify the switch ports used to connect to the controller are set to trust CoS and ports to APs and uplinks are set to trust DSCP.

    X

       

    Verify that Call Admission Control is enabled globally for the radios.

    X

       

    Verify that Load-based CAC is enabled under Call Admission Control.

    X

       

    Ensure that Load Based CAC (7920 AP CAC) under the WLAN is enabled for the voice WLAN if the network has a mix of 7920 and 792xG Series wireless IP phones.

    X

       

    Ensure that Client Based CAC (7920 Client CAC) under the WLAN is disabled for the voice WLAN.

    X

       

    Verify that the EDCA profile on the controller is set to Voice Optimized.

    X

       

    Verify that Low Latency MAC is disabled.

    X

       

    Verify that the 12 Mbps data rate is enabled (default PHY rate of the phone).

    X

       

    If using 802.11b/g disable the 1, 2, 5.5, 6, and 9 Mbps data rates if possible.

    X

       

    If using 802.11a disable the 6 and 9 Mbps data rates if possible.

    X

       

    Verify coverage is designed for 24 Mbps to maximize throughput. Optionally disable 36-54 Mbps.

     

    X

     

    Optionally disable 36-54Mbps

         

    Verify that Aggressive Load Balancing is disabled.

     

    X

     

    Disabled ARP unicast if running a pre-4.2 image on the controller.

    X

       

    Verify that DTPC is enabled so that the client and AP match tx power levels.

    X

       

    Verify the Beacon interval is set to 100 ms.

    X

       

    A DTIM of 2 is recommended.

    X

       

    Ensure DHCP required is not enabled for the voice WLAN.

     

    X

     

    Ensure that Aironet IE is enabled for the voice WLAN.

    X

       

    Verify that Client MFP is set to Optional or Disabled.

    X

       

    Session timeout for the WLAN should not be too short (300 seconds or more).

    X

       

    Verify that peer-to-peer blocking is disabled.

    X

       

    If using TKIP encryption, disable the hold down timer on the voice WLAN to prevent MIC errors from disrupting voice.

    X

       

    Verify that the radio of the AP has multiple antennas and that diversity is enabled.

    X

       

    Ensure controllers are configured for Symmetric Mobility if phones will be roaming between controllers.

     

    X

     

    Validate the virtual interface address is the same across all controllers in the same mobility group.

    X

       

    Validate that the mobility status shows as UP between all controllers in the same mobility group.

    X

       

    Enable Traffic Stream Metrics collection on the controller.

    X

       

    DCA Channel Sensitivity set to High to reduce chance of channel changes during business hours.

    X

    Cisco ACS 5.x - Radius Proxy Server to strip prefix or suffix 'user@domain'

    The purpose of this document is to strip the domain from users that authenticate with the format: username@domain in ACS 5.x.

    Wireless supplicants sometimes present the user creditials in different formats. One such device is the Motorola handhelds. They present the user ID as 'user@domain' to the radius server who then sends this to the AD server. The AD server rejects this request becuase of its format. When using ACS 4.x its a few clicks to remove the domain at the raidus server, so that only the ID of the user is presented to the AD server. 

    But ACS 5.x doesnt do this easily. You actually have to create a PROXY ACS inside your ACS server. There is no easy check box to strip the prefix or the suffix in ACS 5.x.

    If you use LDAP, different sorry. You have the option to strip both with a simple check box under external / ldap section of ACS 5.x.. Below is a document I received from Cisco TAC showing how to strip the prefix and or suffix in ACS 5.x within a ACS proxy.

     

    RADIUS PROXY SERVER

    Configure the ACS server as a network device and choose as the authentication option Radius.

     

    Define the ACS server as an External Radius server under Network Resources. The external radius server on this case is the ACS itself.

     

    Create a new access service and point the new policy to use the Radius Proxy service type.

     

     

    Once the access service is enable configure the advance options of the new service selection rule to strip the domain after the @.

     

    Go to service selection rule and create a new rule pointing to the Proxy Radius Server created previously and include a compound condition as follows:

     

    With the previous configuration when we use the username@domain the user is able to authenticate because check the first rule pointing to the proxy radius server which is set up to strip the domian.

    When the ACS first receives the request and strips the domain part from the username, the server will Proxy the request to itself in which case the ACS will act as a AAA client striping the domain and showing the passed authentication as follows:

     

    On the previous screenshot you can see that once the ACS strips the domain is going to hit the second access service rule which just accept the radius request that does not contain any UPN format.
