Troubleshooting and Best Practices

This appendix identifies and explains any additional troubleshooting or best practices you might find necessary as you implement a particular function.

This appendix includes the following sections:

•Troubleshooting Cisco Compatible Extensions Version 5 Client Devices

•Web Auth Security on WLANs

•Troubleshooting RAID Card Configuration

Troubleshooting Cisco Compatible Extensions Version 5 Client Devices

Two features are designed to troubleshoot communication problems with Cisco Compatible Extension clients: diagnostic channel and client reporting.

Note These features are supported only on Cisco Compatible Extensions Version 5 Client Devices. They are not support for use with non-Cisco Compatible Extensions Version 5 Client Devices or with clients running an earlier version.

Diagnostic Channel

The diagnostic channel feature enables you to troubleshoot problems regarding client communication with a WLAN. When initiated by a client having difficulties, the diagnostic channel is a WLAN configured to provide the most robust communication methods with the fewest obstacles to communication placed in the path of the client. The client and access points can be put through a defined set of tests in an attempt to identify the cause of communication difficulties experienced by the client.

Note Only one WLAN per controller can have the diagnostic channel enabled, and all of the security on this WLAN is disabled.

Configuring the Diagnostic Channel

Follow these steps to configure the diagnostic channel:

Step 1 Choose Configure > Controllers.

Step 2 Click an IP address to choose a specific controller.

Step 3 Choose WLANs> WLAN Configuration from the left sidebar menu.

Step 4 Choose Add a WLAN from the Select a command drop-down list to create a new or click the profile name of an existing.

Note We recommend that you create a new WLAN on which to run the diagnostic tests.

Step 5 When the WLANs page appears, click the Advanced tab (see Figure A-1).

Figure A-1 WLANs Advanced Tab

Step 6 If you want to enable diagnostic channel troubleshooting on this WLAN, select the Diagnostic Channel check box. Otherwise, leave this check box unselected, which is the default value.

Step 7 Click Save to commit your changes.

Web Auth Security on WLANs

This section describes the troubleshooting and best practices procedures that are useful when implementing web auth security on WLANs.

Web-auth is a Layer 3 security feature which allows web-based authentication to users on a WLAN. It is used mainly in guest networking scenarios, although not restricted to that usage.

When a WLAN is configured with web-auth security, you are redirected to the login page after passing Layer 2 authentications (static WEP, WPA+PSK, MAC filtering, and so on). The login page is stored on the local device or an external web server, and the page can be modified to allow a customized logo, title, and so on.

After the WLAN is configured with a web-auth WLAN, the HTTP get request is sent by the wireless client to the requested website. The controller firewall allows the DNS resolution of the specified URL. After the resolution, the controller interrupts the HTTP packets from the wireless client and redirects to the login page. When the credentials are entered on the login page and submitted, they are authenticated against the local database. If the user is not found in the local database, the configured RADIUS servers are contacted.

Note PAP and CHAP authentication are used between the client and authentication agent. Make sure your RADIUS server supports both of these protocols so web-auth login is allowed.

Upon successful authentication, you are allowed to pass traffic. After three unsuccessful authentication attempts, the client is excluded. This excluded client cannot associate until the exclusion timeout limit is surpassed. The exclusion timeout limit is configured with aggressive load balancing, which actively balances the load between the mobile clients and their associated access points.

Web-auth WLAN is also configured with a pre-authentication access control list (ACL). This ACL is configured the same as a normal ACL but permits access to resources that the client needs prior to authentication. An administrator must use the interface section to apply an ACL to the client after authentication.

A web-auth WLAN can be configured with a session timeout value. This value defines the time the client needs to re-authenticate with the device. If the value is set to zero, which means infinity, the client never re-authenticates unless the logged out option is used. You can access the logout URL at http://<VirtualIP>/logout.html.

Note Disable all pop-up blockers on the client to see the logout page.

Web-auth can be configured in different modes under Layer 3 security. The most commonly used modes of web-auth are as follows:

•Internal Web—Redirection to an internal page using http://<virtual IP /DNS name >/login.html. Customization is available.

•External Web—Redirection to an external URL.

Debug Commands

The following debug commands are allowed: 

debug client <client-mac-address>

debug pm ssh-tcp enable

debug pm ssh-appgw enable

debug pm rules enable

debug pm config enable

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
show client detail <client-mac-address>

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
debug pem event enable

 
   
 
     
    
   
 Debug Strategy 
 
    
    
   
 Use the following strategy for web-auth configured on a WLAN without guest tunneling: 
 
   
 
    
   
 Step 1 Identify a mobile client to work with and write down its wireless MAC address. Use the command prompt > ipconfig /all for all MS Windows-based systems. 
 
    
   
 Step 2 Disable the radio of the mobile client. 
 
    
   
 Step 3 Enter the following debug commands via a serial console set for high speed (115200) or SSH session to the management port of the controller: 
 
    
   
 
    
debug client <client-mac-address>

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
debug pm ssh-tcp enable

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
debug pm ssh-appgw enable

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
debug pm rules enable

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
debug pm config enable

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 
    
show client detail <client-mac-address>

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 
    
debug pem event enable

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
debug pem state enable

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 Step 4 Enable the radio and let the client associate. After the client is associated, enter the show client detail client-mac-address command.

 Step 6 If you do not see the HTTP GET message, the HTTP packet has not reached the controller. After the client completes the redirection, enter your login and submit it. 
 
    
   
 Step 7 Look at the entry of the client in NPUdevshell hapiMmcDebugScbInfoShow (`client mac address'). If the PEM state is not moved from WEBAUTH_REQD to RUN, a credential problem exists. Check the credentials in the local or RADIUS database (where ever they were configured). 
 
    
   
 Step 8 When the RUN state appears on the client, perform a check from the client to the gateway and see if traffic is being passed. 
 
   
 
    
     
    
   
 RF Heatmap Analysis 
 
    
   
 Scenario: You see some inconsistent heat maps for access points. One part of the access point shows strong heat maps, whereas the other part shows weak heat maps. 
 
    
   
 Figure A-2 RF Heatmap Analysis 
 
    
   
 
 
    
   
 
 
   
 
     
   
 
   
 
 
    
   
 Analysis: This might happen when you get the RSSI values of the neighboring access point for one part and not for the other part. Using just one side of the RSSI value to predict the heat map is not suggested, as there can be a thick wall or wired housing which might lead to incorrect heat maps. 
 
    
    
   
 Scenario: You are unable to view the dynamic heat map correctly. 
 
    
   
 Analysis: In case you are unable to view the dynamic heat map correctly, check the following: 
 
    
   
 •Neighbor AP RSSI values if they are same from both controller and Prime Infrastructure. 
 
    
   
 •Wait for 20 minutes for the heat maps to refresh with most latest dynamic heat map data. 
 
    
   
 •Check AP Positions. 
 
     
    
   
 Best Practices 
 
    
   
 If the client is not redirected to the login page and you want to avoid DNS resolution in the network, enter http://controller-mgmt-ip. If a redirection occur, the issue is not network related. 
 
    
   
 Enter config network web-auth-port Port to define the ports on the controller other than the standard HTTP port (80). The controller does not interrupt secure HTTP or HTTPS (443) even if the port is configured for interrupt. 
 
     
    
    
   
 Troubleshooting RAID Card Configuration 
 
    
   
 Scenario: 
 
    
   
 Due to accidental power interruption, the information about the RAID card configuration that is stored in the NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) gets corrupted or erased. When the configuration information is lost, the RAID card fails to boot in the normal mode. However, the RAID card backs up the configuration information on the hard drives. Though the RAID card recognizes the backup configuration stored on the hard drive, it does not load the configuration information as the default configuration without manual intervention. 
 
    
   
 Analysis: 
 
    
   
 When the system tries to boot, the RAID firmware returns an error message that the information about the previous configuration is lost and you need to press C to load the configuration utility. The error message appears on the serial console and the bootup does not proceed without your input. 
 
    
   
 You must perform the following steps: 
 
   
 
    
   
 Step 1 On the serial console, press C to load the RAID management tool. Figure A-3 shows the RAID management tool interface. The RAID firmware indicates that a foreign configuration is available. The foreign configuration is the RAID card configuration that was backed up on the hard drive. But, the RAID firmware does not load this configuration information automatically. 
 
    
    
   
 Figure A-3 RAID Management Tool Prompt 
 
    
   
 
 
    
   
 
 
   
 
     
   
 
   
 
 
    
   
 Step 2 In the RAID management tool, type the following command: 
 
    
   
 -CfgForeign -Import -a0 
 
    
   
 Step 3 Reboot the server.
