RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] [EXTERNAL] [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 8540 Code Recommendation, Based on Stability?

2021-06-08 Thread Mathieu Sturm
Hello all,

We were struggling with this issue as well on version 8.10.130.0. We created a 
tac case (SR 690110031) last year but due to covid and lockdowns we couldn’t 
reproduce the issue. We only saw these issues on places where there was a lot 
of clients/roaming. On these ap’s the logs were filled with “chatter: 
lat_client_add(422): Failed to add client”. Not sure if this was related 
though. We only saw this issue on newer ap’s (2800/3800 and 9120’s).

No fix so far (and apparently not even in 8.10.151). Cisco pointed us to bug id 
CSCvv78719 and we had to disable MU-MIMO.
We weren’t able to verify this fix.

Regards

Recommendation, Based on Stability?

Not sure as yet as we have been too busy to get this over to TAC at the moment 
since we identified the problem and came across this bug ID at the end of last 
week. It’s certainly the closest match we can find.
We can see that most of our 2801 APs sit at around 30-50% memory utilisation, 
however around 6% of them (about 320) are currently above 60% which is unusual. 
These appear to be climbing steadily at around 3-4% per week as though there is 
a memory leak.
We first spotted this when we got reports from students in a residence saying 
they were connected to wifi but nothing was working. Looking at the AP it was 
sat at 95% memory utilisation. Rebooting the AP restored service. However, we 
then looked at nearby APs and could see them climbing as well. It doesn’t 
appear to be all our APs but some unknown subsection of them.
We only went to 8.10 as we had bought some 9105 APs.

That one’s interesting because it shows affected code is 8.5(140.0), and only 
one case... is TAC agreeing it’s the same bug? Just curious.

with around 6% of our 2802i APs being currently affected.
It’s a really annoying bug too as to the user they appear to be connected to 
Wi-Fi but they have no network activity at all. Also the APs seem fine from a 
monitoring perspective unless you are either carefully monitoring their memory 
usage, or they get so far out of memory that they appear to lose their 
registration with the controller.
As such, I really can’t recommend 8.10.151.

I've been testing with a virtual android 11 on android studio. This virtual

the option.

Currently this is affecting Google Pixel 3 and up that have installed the 
Android 11 security patch in December. We have Google Pixel 2A w/ Android 11 
but the last security patch was provided prior to the one in December and we 
are still to select "Do not validate" option. In conversation with some of our 
integrators they believe that other Android platforms will follow suit.

Is this because these devices were upgraded to android 11 and that the newer

Or are the pixel phones the only ones?

FYI

I just received the following from securew2 about some additional security 
changes coming to android 11.




This action will need to take place before the upcoming Android application 
update that is planned for February 15th, 2021.



As you may already be aware, Google mandates server validation to be properly 
configured for WiFi from Android version 11. This means that any 802.1X WiFi 
configuration without the following two settings will fail to connect.



1.  Server Validation

2.  Connect to these server names



For more information about these configurations, please read below.



What is Server Validation in a Network Profile?

This configuration item is for clients to validate a RADIUS server certificate 
chain during an EAP authentication. Clients would forward its requests only 
when the received server certificate is signed by the CA that is configured on 
the SecureW2 Network Profile.  It may be required to upload only the Root CA of 
the RADIUS server certificate, however, in some cases, the full chain may need 
to be provided.



What is the Connect to these server names field?

This field is used to specify the name of your RADIUS server certificate using 
its Common Name. If there is only one RADIUS server in your setup, you can 
quickly find this name from the certificate. If there are more than one RADIUS 
servers, or if the RADIUS server Common Name has more than two subdomains, we 
advise to use a wildcard name.



For example:

If the RADIUS server certificate's Common Name = radius.domain.com Connect to 
these server names should be radius.domain.com



If the RADIUS server certificate's Common Name = 
radius.lab.department.domain.com Connect to these server names should be 
*.department.domain.com or *.domain.com

Cisco licensing - alternative vendors

2021-02-03 Thread Mathieu Sturm
Hello all,

We are a Cisco shop when it comes to wireless (Cisco AP's, controllers and ISE).
Since Cisco is becoming a nightmare when it comes to licensing and software 
quality we want to explore new vendors.

We are looking at Fortinet and Aruba.

Any thoughts on these concerning licensing model, software/hardware quality, 
user community, support?

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 8.10.130.0 eduroam issues

2020-11-19 Thread Mathieu Sturm
Hello everyone,

We’ve been having issues on 8.10.130.0 where a client could connect to a 
certain 2800/3800/9120 but didn’t have network access. Since the client was 
already connected they couldn’t roam to another AP.

We first thought it to be this bug: 
https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvv78366
Cisco thinks this is only cosmetic… so they now think we are facing this bug: 
https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvv78719%20/?rfs=iqvred

Their (temporary) solution is to

Step 1
Choose WLANs and click the WLAN ID.
Step 2
In the Advanced tab, check or uncheck the 11ac MU-MIMO check box.
Step 3
In the 802.11ax BSS Configuration section, check or uncheck the Down Link 
MU-MIMO and Up Link MU-MIMO  disable MU-MIMO on 802.11ax APs.

I’m not to keen on doing this. It makes our 2800/3800/9120’s pretty worthless.

We also saw these bugs:

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvk68674/?rfs=iqvred
https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvh04804/?rfs=iqvred

We are waiting for MR4 were hopefully these bugs will be gone (We can only hope

 (thanks Jeff for the hint about version 8.10.139.43)

So I decided to change the settings on the SSID from WPA2 + WPA3 back to

RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 8.10.130.0 eduroam issues

2020-10-01 Thread Mathieu Sturm
@Phil, I requested more information about that bug 
(https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvu65125/?rfs=iqvred) and 
Cisco TAC send me this:

FT : disabled PMF : optional policy : wpa2 + wpa3 wpa2 : enabled wpa3 : enabled
Condition is this : When a user configures WPA2 PSK in pre WPA3 supported 
version and upgrades to WPA3 supported WLC version. The SAE password store is 
not configured during upgrade. This causes no passphrase to be sent to AP that 
causes no client connection

@Jason
On 8.10.121.0 we had issues with android devices that wouldn't connect. 
Updating to 8.10.130.0 and changing Fast Transition to enable fixed this 
(https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvu24770/). There is also this 
bug https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvu67048 on 
8.10.121.0<https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvu67048%20on%208.10.121.0>

Regarding 8.10.130.0 Our IT helpdesk has had their work on upgrading NIC's. 
Most of our issue's are solvable with updating the NIC or manually making a 
profile in W10. The eduroam cattool has helped a lot as well.

I  saw that there is a beta for 8.10MR4 but I'm not to keen to experiment with 
this.

We saw this all the way through 8.10.121 and actually thought the radius 
servers/NAC were causing an issue.  We had multiple TAC cases opened, before 
Cisco finally recommended we move to 8.10.130.  Upgrading code solved a lot of 
our issues.  There are still a handful of devices that have issues, and we have 
been working on getting them to upgrade their drivers.

Hi,

Watching this thread closely.  We're currently on 8.5.151 but need to migrate 
to an 8.10 release for the 9130ax's.

If anyone has any TAC cases or bug IDs that may reference this issue, that 
would be super useful!

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 8.10.130.0 eduroam issues

Hello,

We updated our Cisco 5520 controllers from 8.5.151.0 to 8.10.130.0. Since the 
update we have issues with eduroam. Before the update the students and other 
users could select the ssid eduroam and fill in the credentials and they were 
connected.
Now we have to update the NIC’s (mostly AX200) to the latest version and/or 
update to W10 version 2004. And even then we often have to configure the SSID 
manually and save credentials.

We see that the users get to the ISE and are permitted but the WLC doesn’t 
always see this permit. Or the ISE gives a certificate warning (I’ve checked 
our certificates, all are valid).

Is anyone experiencing the same thing?

We went tot 8.10.130.0 for our new 9120’s.

This was actually brought up a couple of months ago on subject "WLC 8.10.121 
Deferred". We did experience the issue with Windows clients. And testing on 
8.10.130 looks to resolve the problem.

I upgraded tot hat version on one of our controllers. Luckily I only had 6 ap's

Only 1 eventually joined after more than an hour. I wouldn't recommend that

I don’t have any evidence it’s service impacting but it is annoying.   You need

We also get the 5441 messages on our VPN auth on ISE so it’s not isolated to

8.3.x? Or 8.5.x?

8.5 will support AP2600’s. We’re currently at 8.5.140.0 (we still have AP3500’s 
to support…) and it’s been fairly stable for AireOS.

8.3 also has some escalation fixes:

What version of core on the WLC / what model of AP?

We had an issue at the start of the year with  version of code on cisco 3500 
series AP  where clients would successful authenticate  with the AP, but the 
association would never get passed from the AP through to the controller and 
thence on to the ISE. Clients would get a ‘bad password’ (or similar type of 
error) displayed on their computer which would confuse them, and there would be 
nothing recorded in the WLC or ISE logs.

I actually looked into this but couldn’t find anything that made sense.

Update to everyone: the problem is somehow solved. As I said we had 3 wlc’s, 2 
hot, 1 standby. We moved AP’s from the failing wlc to the standby and 
everything started working like it was before the start of the academic year.  
I suspect some sort of a bug in the WLC where auth requests were put in a queue 
that wasn’t emptied or at a super slow pace.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC & ISE combo issues

Hello, since the start of the new academic year we’ve been having some troubles 
with our Cisco setup. We have 3 Cisco WLC 5520’s (one of these is standby), 
around 850ap’s and 5 Cisco ISE’s (1 admin node, 1 monitor node and 3 
radius-only nodes).

We have this setup since 2018. There were some problems sometimes but nothing 
major. Now recently it’s taking a long time for people to get connected. We 
have around 20k students and 3K staff with peaks to nearly 9K associations.

The problem is that it is difficult to get connected sometimes. I see the user 
trying to connect in the WLC’s but don’t see them trying in the ISE’s (it looks 
like the attempt gets lost somewher).
I can see the following worrying log message in the wlc:

RADIUS auth-server X.X.X.X unavailable

Or

These logs in the ISE

5441 Endpoint started new session while the packet of previous session is being 
processed. Dropping new session.
12930 Supplicant stopped responding to ISE after sending it the first PEAP 
message


It looks like there is some sort of bottleneck between WLC and ISE.

Further information: the identity store is a bunch of Windows Domain 
Controllers (6 in total).

Any ideas?

We have the same 5441 messages and we are on 8.5.135.0 and ISE 2.2 patch 12.   
I don’t have any evidence it’s service impacting but it is annoying.   You need 
to upgrade from patch 5 to address some serious bug and vulnerabilities.  Patch 
15 is out.

We also get the 5441 messages on our VPN auth on ISE so it’s not isolated to

Is this a new deployment or do you have more users this year than last year? It 
could be load related. That 5441 error log indicates there are queued RADIUS 
packets at ISE which cannot be processed in timely manner. Try adding ISE 
service node to see if that can help. Also check this link about something to 
be tuned at WLC side:

Hi Mathieu,

One thing you might want to verify is that the RADIUS timeout values match in 
both the WLCs and in ISE.  If these values differ, you may end up in a 
situation like this where one side gives up and the other side is not aware.

The WLC is on version 8.3.140.0 (we still have 2600 series AP's that we need to 
replace so we are pretty limited) and ISE is 2.2 (patch 5).

What version of core on the WLC / what model of AP?

We had an issue at the start of the year with  version of code on cisco 3500 
series AP  where clients would successful authenticate  with the AP, but the 
association would never get passed from the AP through to the controller and 
thence on to the ISE. Clients would get a 'bad password' (or similar type of 
error) displayed on their computer which would confuse them, and there would be 
nothing recorded in the WLC or ISE logs.

Authentication and Association isn't the way around people normally think of 
this.

anyway, I think you're going to need to include version numbers of the ISE and

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC & ISE combo issues

Hello, since the start of the new academic year we've been having some troubles 
with our Cisco setup. We have 3 Cisco WLC 5520's (one of these is standby), 
around 850ap's and 5 Cisco ISE's (1 admin node, 1 monitor node and 3 
radius-only nodes).

We have this setup since 2018. There were some problems sometimes but nothing 
major. Now recently it's taking a long time for people to get connected. We 
have around 20k students and 3K staff with peaks to nearly 9K associations.

The problem is that it is difficult to get connected sometimes. I see the user 
trying to connect in the WLC's but don't see them trying in the ISE's (it looks 
like the attempt gets lost somewher).
I can see the following worrying log message in the wlc:

RADIUS auth-server X.X.X.X unavailable

Or

These logs in the ISE

5441 Endpoint started new session while the packet of previous session is being 
processed. Dropping new session.
12930 Supplicant stopped responding to ISE after sending it the first PEAP 
message


It looks like there is some sort of bottleneck between WLC and ISE.

Further information: the identity store is a bunch of Windows Domain 
Controllers (6 in total).

Any ideas?

Do you happen to have a bug ID?

We're targeting 8.2+ for our 8.0 migration after the 1130 series APs are

2015-11-24 Thread Mathieu Sturm
We were looking at upgrading our 5508 as well.

We experienced bug CSCur33085 so we wanted to upgrade to a version that doesn’t 
contain that bug. Unfortunately this bug is still in version 8.0.121.0 and will 
be resolved in the not yet released 8.0.122. We want to go straight to 8.1.x 
but there isn’t a recommended release. If I were you I’d wait until a stable 8.1

Just my 2 cents though

:)

So, I think we might try to upgrade our code on our 5508, currently at ancient  
7.6.130.26

What's everyone running these days?

Cisco suggests 8.0.121.0, and I see that 8.1.131.0 was released Nov 6.

We run a modest 263 APs on a 5508, with a HA unit waiting to be deployed.

Thoughts?

Has anyone else seen the pop up message on Mac computers connected to their 
wireless that says “The wireless network appears to have been compromised and 
will be disabled for about a minute.”?  We recently rolled out ISE and now 
every wireless issue is related to the rollout.  We are using WPA2-Enterprise 
on the authenticated SSID, but from what I have seen, this is not wireless 
vendor specific and can happen on pretty much any type of wireless network from 
home to enterprise.

Thanks for any help,

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Measuring User Experience

2015-10-22 Thread Mathieu Sturm
This may sound stupid but I have a bash script running on a linux server that 
every 5 minutes does a show client summary. It then counts the clients that are 
associated and authenticated. I then try to get a percentage by dividing the 
two. This is displayed on our monitoring wall. It's fairly correct and displays 
the overall connection success. 

I also have a linux pc with 2 wifi cards and try to connect to our 2 most 
important SSID's. If this doesn't work we get an SMS.

There was some survey we got last year (can't remember the source, either 
EDUCAUSE or an internal one) that said that students just don't open tickets - 
the vast majority of the time they are going to friends for assistance, which 
of course leads to all sorts of wacky or outright wrong solutions for things.  

If we even do get tickets, the challenge then becomes getting the student to 
respond to us to set up a time to troubleshoot.  

Moving forward, we're going to be looking at some targeted surveys this year to 
see if we can get more actionable data.

Cisco ISE 1.4 Domain trust is one-way

2015-10-08 Thread Mathieu Sturm
Hello Colleagues

I'm currently testing CISCO ISE 1.4 because we have 2 x CISCO ISE 1.2 that I 
want to upgrade. Since we have a one-way trust with another university I tested 
this as well.
Unfortunately I found out that version 1.4 explicitly doesn't support one-way 
trusts. Is there a workaround? Or a patch (no patches installed yet).

Best regards

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Exclusive 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz SSIDs

2015-08-12 Thread Mathieu Sturm
I agree with Frans, the users in general don’t have the knowledge to decide. 
They will see 5Ghz, google it and see: oh it’s faster. They don’t realize other 
factors could make 2.4Ghz the better choice. We have one SSID and let the 
devices make the right choice.

Onderwerp: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Exclusive 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz SSIDs

Paul,
I am not a supporter of this. Mainly because I think Wi-Fi knowledge for the 
end-user should be minimised. Users should just see the SSID and connect; 
options to choose from should be minimized. The most important thing users must 
learn is checking the correctness of the  Radius server to whom they give their 
credentials. For the rest, the device and the Wi-Fi infrastructure should do 
their very best in serving Wi-Fi users optimaly.

Devices in general do a rather good job in selecting the best band. Besides, 
users have insufficient knowledge in making the right choice between the 2,4Ghz 
and 5Ghz bands. Note that choosing 5Ghz is simply not always the best choice.  
If you're too far away from the AP (or because of whether channels or 
interference on the 5Gh band), the 2,4Ghz band may be the better choice. Good 
devices switch between the frequencies, to serve users best. You disable that 
function by introducing separate SSIDs for both bands.

Paul Sedy schreef op 11/08/15 om 22:22:
Hello everyone,

We are a Cisco shop and have, up until now, employed a single SSID for 
students, supporting both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz connections.  During this summer, we 
have been working to develop sufficient AP density to ensure good 5Ghz cells 
throughout our dorms.  In the past, we have seen numerous instances of poorer 
performance on the 2.4 Ghz spectrum, but up to this point, have relied on the 
client to make the decision between these two options.

We are thinking of deploying two separate SSIDs, a 5Ghz network and a 2.4 Ghz 
network, that are exclusive in order to promote a better experience for the 
students with devices capable of 5Ghz connectivity.  We would probably use the 
original SSID name with an appended (5 Ghz) or (2.4 Ghz).

Are any of you currently employing this type of configuration and how well has 
it worked for you?

We would appreciate any insights that anyone might have.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] New 3702 APs not playing well with Spanning-Tree Portfast Out-of-Box

2015-08-11 Thread Mathieu Sturm
I’ve seen 2702’s doing this as well. Was amazed when I looked in the log of my 
switch when I couldn’t figure out why the ports got disabled. Wrong MAC address 
is also one of the problems we’re having with the 2702’s. Don’t know what they 
have been doing with these pre-loaded images on them. These images should have 
been tested better at Cisco…

We had this behaviour on a batch of 2702s, the firmware that was preloaded had 
this bug that went away once the associated and upgraded. It's a right pita 
changing the port config to get them to connect, then reverting it later, but 
not as bad as the other firmware bug causing APs to use the wrong MAC address 
until they upgraded.

Wondering if anyone has seen similar with Cisco APs: On switchports that have

If you turn on the ability to see why in the switch, the APs – only when new 
out of box—are sending BPDUs to ports that have Spanning-Tree Portfast on as a 
rule.

If you remove portfast, the new 3702s go off to the WLC just fine, get updated 
for code, and then work as expected. You can restore spanning-tree portfast, 
reboot the APs (that are no longer “out of box”) and they behave fine on the 
portfast-enabled ports.

I’ve not seen this behavior with any other Cisco AP, and I don’t think it 
happened with our earliest 3700s, either.

Does this oddity ring familiar with anyone?

Hello,

I'm looking for a tool that emails when WLC or Switch configs are changed for a 
growing Network team mostly to keep everyone abreast of changes.  Years ago 
(like 8 years ago) we used RANCID, an open source product that was quite nice, 
but I have a feeling there are maybe a few better options these days.  What we 
like about RANCID was that it was free, that it sent emails with line by line 
configuration diff on the changed device, and that it worked with other 
non-Cisco products as well.  We have some Foundy switches, a lot of Juniper 
firewalls, etc.  Please let me know if you know of anything that fits the bill.


Thanks,
