Configuring the Network Sensor for Wireless Service Assurance
The sensor is configured and managed by the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Center which also does the following:
- Collects statistics and data from the sensors, infrastructure APs, and clients, and displays real time information based on the data collected.
- Interfaces with Cisco Cloud Service, to send the collected data at regular intervals, to enable the cloud service to display historical information about the wireless network health.
Each network sensor establishes a management and control connection to the Cisco DNA Center over the intermediate IPv4 network.
The Cisco DNA Center operates as a control center that determines the current task for each network sensor. In addition to configuring network sensors, the controller also collects, aggregates, parses, and presents statistics and results returned from each network sensor.
The Cisco DNA Center uses the data from the sensor for basic connectivity troubleshooting, RF performance troubleshooting, and Wireless QoE troubleshooting. The controller also periodically sends wireless network information to the Cisco Cloud Service's Performance Analytics function. The cloud-based Network Assurance Collector collects historical network assurance data, which is scheduled by the controller and collected by the network sensors.
For detailed information on configuring the network sensor, see the Cisco Aironet Sensor Deployment Guide.
For information on the role of the Cisco DNA Center in Wireless Service Assurance, see the Cisco Digital Network Architecture Center User Guide.
Ordering a License for the Network Sensor
You can order the Cisco DNA Center license for your sensor depending on your choice of term for the endpoint license. For detailed information about the licenses, see the Cisco Aironet 1800s Active Sensor Data Sheet.
To order a license for your network sensor, you need to select the following:
- Sensor base—Based on the country, choose the base (AIR-AP1800S-x-K9).
- Endpoint license term—Choose one among AIR-DNA-EP-3Y, AIR-DNA-EP-5Y, or AIR-DNA-EP-7Y.
- Power module—Choose one among AIR-MOD-SPOE, AIR-MOD-USB-x, AIR-MOD-AC-x.
A confirmation page appears displaying all these selections as well as the applicable AP mounting bracket and default software image. Verify and click Done.
Provisioning the Network Sensor via Cisco PnP
The network sensor is provisioned via Cisco Network Plug and Play (PnP) and not through the Cisco WLC. The sensor can discover the Cisco PnP server through either of the following two methods:
Note The sensor does not support IPv6.
Using DHCP Option 43
DHCP option 43 is configured on the CLI of a Cisco router that acts as a DHCP server. It consists of a string value in the format indicated below:
The option 43 string has the following components, delimited by semicolons:
- 5A1N ;—Specifies the PnP DHCP suboption, active operation, version 1, no debug information.
- B <x>;—IP address type:
- I <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>;—IP address or hostname of the Cisco DNA Center (following a capital i).
- J <xxxx>—Port number to use to connect to the Cisco DNA Center.
The default is port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS.
- T< trustpool_Bundle_URL>;—(Optional) Specifies the external URL of the trustpool bundle if it is to be retrieved from a different location than the default, which is the Cisco DNA Center, which gets the bundle from the Cisco InfoSec cloud ( http://www.cisco.com/security/pki/).
For example, to download the bundle from a TFTP server at 10.30.30.10, specify the parameter like below:
Note If you are using trustpool security and you do not specify the T parameter, the device retrieves the trustpool bundle from the Cisco DNA Center.
- Z<xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>;—IP address of the NTP server. This parameter is mandatory when using trustpool security to ensure that all devices are synchronized.
DNS Discovery
If DHCP discovery fails to get the IP address of the Cisco DNA Center, for example, because option 43 is not configured, the Cisco Plug and Play IOS Agent falls back on a DNS lookup method. PnP Discovery via DNS involves the following steps:
Step 1 Create a host file on the DNS server with the host name pnpserver and the IP address of the PNP server.
Based on the network domain name returned by the DHCP server, it constructs a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the Cisco DNA Center, using the preset hostname pnpserver. The NTP server name is based on the preset hostname pnpntpserver.
Step 2 Add option 15 to the DHCP scope with the domain name and option 6 with the DNS server.
For more information on Cisco PnP server discovery, visit the Solution Guide for Cisco Network Plug and Play at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Plug-and-Play/solution/guidexml/b_pnp-solution-guide.html

As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the end user. It is recommended to set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at least a minimum distance as specified from the user in accordance to the regulatory guidelines which are designed to reduce the overall exposure of the user or operator.
Health Canada states that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of wireless devices. They recommend that if you are interested in further reducing your exposure you can easily do so by reorienting antennas away from the user, placing the antennas at a greater separation distance than recommended, or lowering the transmitter power output.
Cet appareil est conforme aux directives internationales en matière d'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques
Cet appareil de la gamme 1800s comprend un émetteur-récepteur radio. Il a été conçu de manière à respecter les limites en matière d'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (champs électromagnétiques de fréquence radio), recommandées dans le code de sécurité 6 de Santé Canada. Ces directives intègrent une marge de sécurité importante destinée à assurer la sécurité de tous, indépendamment de l'âge et de la santé.
Par conséquent, les systèmes sont conçus pour être exploités en évitant que l'utilisateur n'entre en contact avec les antennes. Il est recommandé de poser le système là où les antennes sont à une distance minimale telle que précisée par l'utilisateur conformément aux directives réglementaires qui sont conçues pour réduire l'exposition générale de l'utilisateur ou de l'opérateur.
Santé Canada affirme que la littérature scientifique actuelle n'indique pas qu'il faille prendre des précautions particulières lors de l'utilisation d'un appareil sans fil. Si vous voulez réduire votre exposition encore davantage, selon l'agence, vous pouvez facilement le faire en réorientant les antennes afin qu'elles soient dirigées à l'écart de l'utilisateur, en les plaçant à une distance d'éloignement supérieure à celle recommandée ou en réduisant la puissance de sortie de l'émetteur.
