Cisco CMX Commands

Using the Command-Line Interface

Starting from Cisco CMX 10.3.1, you can use the Tab key to auto complete any Cisco CMX command on the command line interface. If you enter cmxos and then click the Tab key, the CLI displays the available keywords. If you enter a partial string and then click the Tab key, the CLI then displays the complete string.

cassandraexport

To export Cisco CMX history data from Cassandra to a CSV file, use the cassandraexport command.

cassandraexport {--date <yyyy/mm/dd>} [--table <tablename> | --file <filename> | --sql <sql statement> | --rowsperfetch <rows per fetch>]

Syntax Description

--date <yyyy/mm/dd>

Date on which the export is to be performed. This is required.

--table <table name>

(Optional) Name of the table to export.

--file <filename>

(Optional) Name of the CSV file. The default is /tmp/CassandraExport_sql.csv.

--sql <sql statement>

This option is not currently supported.

--rowsperfetch <rows per fetch>

(Optional) The default is 1000 rows.

Command Default

None.

Command Modes

CMX root user

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco CMX Release 10.3.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command extracts a maximum of only one day of data, starting from midnight of the date given to the time when the command is issued.

You can use these methods to export Cisco CMX data from Cassandra:

  • The method that we most recommend is through the Notifications feature (Manage > Notifications> New Notification). For more information, see the “Managing Notifications from Applications” section in the Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences Configuration Guide for this release at: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/wireless/mobility-services-engine/products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html

  • An alternative method is to use the cassandraexport command, and to export daily. We recommend that you schedule the export during a quiet period of the day, for example 2:00 A.M. If you use this method during a time when the system is continuously changing, a timeout can occur.

  • Use the Cisco CMX History API only if your export does not exceed 2000 records, for example 100 floors.

Examples

The following example shows how to export Cisco CMX data from Cassandra to a CSV file:

[cmxadmin@server]# /opt/cmx/bin/cassandraexport --date 2017/06/14

Data exported into the file /tmp/CassandraExport_201706150220-02.csv

cmxctl checkdb

To check the database for schema integrity, use the cmxctl checkdb command.

cmxctl checkdb { cassandra | postgres }

Syntax Description

cassandra

Checks the cassandra schema.

postgres

Checks the postgres schema.

Command Default

None.

Command Modes

CMX admin user

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco CMX Release 10.3

This command was introduced.

Examples

The following example shows how to the schemen integrity for cassandra and postgres database:

[cmxadmin@server]# cmxctl checkdb cassandra

Schema passed analytics
Schema passed loc
Schema passed mse
Cassandra passed schema validation

[root@server]# cmxctl checkdb postgres

cmxctl checklogs

To check logs and generate a report, use the cmxctl checklogs command.

cmxctl checklogs

Command Default

None

Command Modes

CMX admin user

Usage Guidelines

After a report is generated, the specific log that shows the error can be viewed for additional details. For example, /opt/cmx.var.log.cmxjobs.log.3 has 108 errors, use the command more /opt/cmx.var.log.cmxjobs.log.3 to view the corresponding file.

cmxctl config analytics

To configure general analytics settings, use the cmxctl config analytics command:

cmxctl config analytics {cleanRedis | enableMinDwellFilter | {True | False} | setMinDwellFilter <value> | setNumMonthsRepeatHistory <value> | view}

Syntax Description

cleanRedis

Removes old, invalid Redis bloom filters.

enableMinDwellFilter {True | False}
  • True—Enables the minimum dwell filter.

  • False—Disables the minimum dwell filter. This is the default.

setMinDwellFilter <value>

Sets the minimum dwell filter value [0-1440]. The default is 0.

setNumMonthsRepeatHistory <value>

Sets the number of months [0-6] to retain the repeat history. The default is 6.

view

Displays the general analytics settings.

Command Default

None.

Command Modes

CMX admin user

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco CMX Release 10.5

Additional subcommands were added.

Cisco CMX Release 10.3.1

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You can set a minimum dwell filter to filter out visitors whose dwell at the root campus level is less than a specified amount. The root campus level encompasses all campuses; it represents the root of the heterarchy. This affects the aggregated data, so once the filter is enabled, it applies to all reports for that day moving forward (until it is disabled again). This filter does not affect the raw visits.

If you configure the minimum dwell filter setting, you must restart Cisco CMX for the change to take effect. Use the cmxctl restart command to restart Cisco CMX.


Note

Use the minimum dwell filter only if you don't want to see devices that spend less than the minimum number of minutes at the root campus level.

Repeat history is kept for the current month and the set number of previous months. This set number of months must be in the range of 0 to 6 months. You do not need to restart Cisco CMX to put this setting into effect.


Note

If you use the setNumMonthsRepeatHistory command, all current repeat history is deleted.


Examples

The following example shows how to display the current general analytics settings:

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl config analytics view

+--------------------------+------+
| enableMinimumDwellFilter | True |
+--------------------------+------+
| minimumDwellFilter       |  30  |

Syntax Description

clear

Clears certificate files in the /opt/cmx/srv/certs directory.

clientcertvalidation

When FIPS or UCAPL is enabled, configures CMX to validate all client certificates.

  • Enable — requires every CMX user to have a client certificate.

  • disable — does not check for client certificates.

createcsr

Creates a new public and private keypair, and generates a corresponding Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

importcacert filename.pem

Imports a Certificate of Authority (CA) Privacy Enhanced Mail (pem) file.

importcrl filename.pem

Imports a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) pem file.

importcrlurl URL

Imports the URL of the CRL online, to keep the CRL current.

importrsyslogca filename.pem

Imports a CA pem file for the remote syslog server.

importradiusca filename.pem

Imports a CA pem file for the Radius/AAA server.

importservercert filename.pem

Imports the signed certificate and private key for the CMX server, concatenated into a single pem file.

Note 

When certificates are imported, there is a validity check that verifies the start date and end date. If the dates are not within the range or if the certificates are going to expire soon (withhin 30 days), an alert is generated on System > Alerts tab in Cisco CMX. The alert will be generated once a day until certificate expires or new valid certificate is installed.

installnewcerts

Generates new self-signed certificates.

Note 

When certificates are imported, there is a validity check that verifies the start date and end date. If the dates are not within the range or if the certificates are going to expire soon (withhin 30 days), an alert is generated on System > Alerts tab in Cisco CMX. The alert will be generated once a day until certificate expires or new valid certificate is installed.

keytype

Usage Guidelines


Note

Certificates and keys are stored in the /opt/cmx/srv/certs folder.

Cisco recommends following this deployment order for cmxctl config certs commands.

  1. cmxctl config certs clear — Optional, but recommended. Clears any certificates from the /opt/cmx/srv/certs directory.

  2. cmxctl config certs keytype — Selects your key type: RSA (the default) or ECDSA.

  3. cmxctl config certs installnewcerts — Generates new self-signed certificates in the /opt/cmx/srv/certs directory.

  4. cmxctl config certs createcsr — Creates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

    • Private key — /opt/cmx/srv/certs/cmxserverkey.pem

    • CSR — /opt/cmx/srv/certs/cmxservercsr.pem

  5. Send the CSR to an external CA, to obtain a signed certificate for the CMX server.

  6. cmxctl config certs importcacert — Installs the CA certifications. At the prompt, provide an export and import password specific to this command.

  7. cmxctl config certs importservercert — Installs the CA-signed server certificate and the private key as a concatenated pem file. At the prompt, provide an export and import password specific to this command.

The command cmxctl config certs clientcertvalidation enable prompts you to answer whether or not you want CMX to accept invalid client certificates.

Do you want to accept invalid client certificate? [yes/no] [no]:
  • no—Enables client certificate validation, and will not accept invalid client certificates.

  • yes—Enables client certificate validation, but will accept invalid client certificates.

Sometimes two or more files need to be combined (or concatenated) before you can import the resulting file. For example, you may have intermediate CA certificates as well as root certs. This example shows how to concatenate the files root-ca-cert.pem and intermediate-ca-cert.pem, and import the resulting file to CMX.

  1. Concatenate the files:

    [cmxadmin@cmx]# cat root-ca-cert.pem intermediate-ca-cert.pem > ca-chain.pem

  2. Import the new file ca-chain.pem :

    [cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl config certs importcacerts ca-chain.pem

    Importing CA certificate.....
    Enter Export Password: caexportpw
    Verifying - Enter Export Password: caexportpw
    Enter Import Password: caimportpw

cmxctl config connect

To manage Cisco CMX Connect service data, use the cmxctl config connect command.

cmxctl config connect deleteClientAll

Syntax Description

deleteClientAll

Deletes all the client data.

Command Default

None.

Command Modes

CMX admin user

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco CMX Release 10.5

This command was introduced.

Examples

The following example shows how to delete all CMX connect clients:

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl config connect deleteClientsAll 
Successfully Deleted Connect Data, deleted 1 clients

cmxctl config controllers

To manage Cisco Wireless Controllers (Cisco WLC), use the cmxctl config controllers command.

cmxctl config controllers {activeaps  | add  | delete  | floors wlc-ip-address  | import  | missingaps  | show}

Syntax Description

activeaps

Displays active access points.

add

Adds a Cisco WLC.

delete

Deletes a Cisco WLC.

floors wlc-ip-address

Displays floors managed by Cisco WLCs.

import Imports a Cisco WLC from Cisco Prime Infrastructure by providing the corresponding credentials, or by placing an exported Cisco Prime Infrastructure MAP file in the /opt directory of the Cisco CMX server and providing the path to the exported MAP file.
missingaps

Lists the access points from which Cisco CMX has received data, but the access points are not yet placed on a map.

show

Displays information pertaining to a Cisco WLC.

Command Default

None.

Command Modes

CMX admin user

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco CMX Release 10.3.1

The missingaps and floors keywords were added.

Cisco CMX Release 10.3.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The message "controller added successfully" after a Cisco WLC is added, refers only to the correct parsing of the command. You should issue a cmxctl controllers show command to ensure that the Cisco WLC is not active.

The missingaps keyword uses SNMP to retrieve the AP's MAC addresses from the access point’s configuration cache every six hours. If the AP MAC address is not present, it will be displayed as NA on the CLI.

In addition, the AP MAC address will be displayed only if you have enabled the configuration.apimport feature flag by using the cmxctl config featureflags configuration.apimport: true command. For example:

[cmxadmin@server]# cmxctl config featureflags configuration.apimport true

+---------------------------------+-------+
| location.compactlocationhistory | false |
+---------------------------------+-------+
| configuration.apimport          | true  |


The AP MAC address import occurs every 6 hours, so for new APs added to the controller, the AP MAC value for missingap will be available only after the next job run.

Examples

Starting from Cisco CMX Release 10.3.1, you can specify SNMP settings when you use the cmxctl config controllers add command. For example:

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl config controllers add
Please enter controller type [WLC / NGWC] [WLC]: WLC
Please enter controller ip: 0.0.0.0
Please enter the controller version [Optional]:
Please enter controller SNMP version [v1 / v2c / v3] [v2c]: v2c
Please enter controller SNMP write community [private]:
....................................................................
Controller Added 0.0.0.0

The following example shows how to display the Cisco WLC information:

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl config controllers show

+--------------+------+------------+----------------+------+--------+
| IP Address | Type | Version | Device Version | SHA2 | Status |
+--------------+------+------------+----------------+------+--------+

cmxctl config fips

To enable, verify, and manage Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode, use the cmxctl config fips command.

cmxctl config fips {enable  | status  | verify}

Syntax Description

enable

Enables FIPS mode.

status

Displays FIPS mode status.

verify

Verifies that your CMX system is correctly configured to support FIPS mode.

Command Default

By default, FIPS mode is disabled.

Command Modes

CMX admin user

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco CMX Release 10.6

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Cisco CMX supports the Federal Information Processing Standard 140‑2 (FIPS 140‑2). FIPS 140‑2 is a standard published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is used to accredit cryptographic modules in software components. The US Federal government requires that all IT products dealing with Sensitive, but Unclassified (SBU) information meet these standards. If your system needs to be FIPS 140‑2 compliant, you can enable FIPS. Once you do so, the system uses the cryptographic algorithms defined by the NIST for FIPS 140‑2 for all encrypted communication between its internal and external components.


Note

FIPS is a prerequisite to UCAPL mode. Enable and configure FIPS before running the cmxctl config fips ucapl command. See cmxctl config fips ucaplmode.

Cisco recommends that you run these commands before enabling FIPS mode:

  • cmxctl config certs... —Removes old certificates and installs or imports new ones.

  • cmxctl config audit settings —Configures CMX authentication settings.

  • cmxctl config certs importrsyslogca <cert.pem> —Imports a CA pem file for the remote syslog server.

  • cmxctl config fips verify —Checks to see if your system is correctly configured for FIPS.


Note

Note that the command cmxctl config fips enable is irreversible. You cannot disable FIPS mode after you enable the FIPS mode.


Examples

The following example shows how to check that your CMX system is correctly configured to support FIPS mode. In this example, the system lacks the strong password required for FIPS compliance.

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl config fips verify

Usage Guidelines

UCAPL mode is a higher level of security than FIPS alone. Its purpose is to maintain a single consolidated list of products that have completed Interoperability and cybersecurity certification. Less secure protocols, such as HTTP, TLS ver. 1, and RSA 1024 are no longer supported. Once you have enabled FIPS mode, you have the option to enable UCAPL mode. UCAPL requires a 15-20 character password, and disk encryption, among other restrictions.

Once UCAPL mode is enabled, the following authentication changes are made, if they are not already specified:

  • Enable strong password : yes

  • Minimum password length : 15

  • Unsuccessful login attempts before account lock : 3

  • Session timeout in minutes : 10

Examples

The following example shows how to enable UCAPL over FIPS mode:

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco CMX Release 10.4

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

We recommened that you use this command in a scenario where on a single floor there are both Hyperlocation enabled AP and non Hyperlocation APs. The improved location accuracy that comes from the use of Hyperlocation AP will occur within the convex hull of the Hyperlocation APs. Outside of this convex, standard location accuracy results will occur. At the edges of the convex hull there may also be lower accuracy, when clients are at least 10M inside of the convex hull.

This command does not support the interspersion of Hyperlocation AP with non Hyperlocation AP. If this is type of deployment is used, then there will be no improvement in location over standard probe RSSI based location.

The following is an example of a supported deployment:

cmxos encryptdisk

Command Default

Encryption is not enabled.

Command Modes

CMX admin user

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco CMX Release 10.5

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command when your security protocol requires encryption of CMX data. For more information about this task, refer to Cisco CMX Configuration Guide, release 10.6.

When FIPS or UCAPL authentication mode is enabled, access to the command line through PuTTY or other standard SSH clients is restricted. In these cases, we recommend that you connect directly from a console, or use the VMWare vSphere console.


Note

We recommend that you enable encryption at installation, or as soon as possible afterward. The encryption process requires time proportional to the amount of data present on the /opt partition.

Important

Encryption cannot be disabled or undone. It requires someone with root access credentials to manually enter the encrypted disk passphrase from the command line each time the device is rebooted or powered up.

Examples

The following example show how to enable encryption after CMX installation:

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxos encryptdisk
Have you closed all SSH sessions to this CMX? [y/N]:y

Command History

Release Modification

Cisco CMX Release 10.3.1

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command supersedes the information from this post: https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-70904.

Use this command for environments where an outbound proxy is required on the Cisco CMX server. For example, if you happen to be in a secure internal network where even outbound traffic via HTTPS requires that it move through a proxy server.

If you set the proxy setting on the Cisco CMX server, make sure to use the no_proxy setting on the attached controllers to avoid interference with the NMSP Network Mobility Services Protocol (NMSP).

If you change the Cisco CMX proxy settings, you must restart Cisco CMX for the change to take effect. Use the cmxctl restart command to restart Cisco CMX.

Examples

The following example shows how to set a proxy on the Cisco CMX server, and then verify the change and restart Cisco CMX:

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxos sysproxy proxy https://proxy-wsa.esl.cisco.com:80

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxos sysproxy show
USE_PROXY=1
PROXY_URL=http://proxy-wsa.esl.cisco.com:80
NO_PROXY_LIST=""
[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl restart

The following example shows how to enable a proxy on the Cisco CMX server, and then verify the change and restart Cisco CMX:

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxos sysproxy enable

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxos sysproxy show
USE_PROXY=1
PROXY_URL=http://proxy-wsa.esl.cisco.com:80
NO_PROXY_LIST=""
[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl restart

The following example shows how to disable a proxy on the Cisco CMX server, and then verify the change and restart Cisco CMX:

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxos sysproxy disable

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxos sysproxy show
USE_PROXY=0
PROXY_URL=http://proxy-wsa.esl.cisco.com:80
NO_PROXY_LIST=""
[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl restart

The following example shows how to clear proxy settings, and then verify the change and restart Cisco CMX:

[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxos sysproxy clear
[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxos sysproxy show
USE_PROXY=0
PROXY_URL=""
NO_PROXY_LIST=""
[cmxadmin@cmx]# cmxctl restart
