Cisco Wireless Control System Configuration Guide, Release 7.0

•Contain rogue access points by sending their clients deauthenticate and disassociate messages from one to four access points. This containment can be done for individual rogue access points by MAC address or can be mandated for all rogue access points connected to the enterprise subnet.

•Tag rogue access points:

–Acknowledge rogue access points when they are outside of the LAN and do not compromise the LAN or wireless LAN security

–Accept rogue access points when they do not compromise the LAN or wireless LAN security

–Tag rogue access points as unknown until they are eliminated or acknowledged

–Tag rogue access points as contained and discourage clients from associating with the rogue access points by having between one and four access points transmit deauthenticate and disassociate messages to all rogue access point clients. This function applies to all active channels on the same rogue access point.

Configuring ACS View Server Credentials

In order to facilitate communication between WCS and the ACS View Server and to access the ACS View Server tab, you must add a view server with credentials. Follow these steps to configure the ACS View Server Credentials.

Note WCS only supports ACS View Server 5.1 or above.

Step 1 Choose Configure > ACS View Server.

Step 2 Enter the port number of the ACS View Server you are adding. (Some ACS View Servers do not allow you to change the port on which HTTPS runs.)

Step 3 Enter the password that was established on the ACS View Server. Confirm the password.

Step 4 Specify the number of retries that will be attempted.

Step 5 Click Submit.

Receiving Radio Measurements

On the client page, you can receive radio measurements only if the client is Cisco Compatible Extensions v2 (or higher) and is in the associated state (with a valid IP address). If the client is busy when asked to do the measurement, it determines whether to honor the measurement or not. If it declines to make the measurement, it shows no data from the client.

Step 1 Choose Monitor > Clients.

Step 2 Choose a client from the Client User Name column.

Step 3 From the Select a command drop-down list, choose Radio Measurement.

Note Only associated Cisco Compatible Extension clients using version 2.0 or greater have this option.

Step 4 Click the check box to indicate if you want to specify beacon measurement, frame measurement, channel load, or noise histogram. The different measurements produce differing results:

•Beacon Response

–Channel—The channel number for this measurement

–BSSID—6-byte BSSID of the station that sent the beacon or probe response

–PHY—Physical Medium Type (FH, DSS, OFDM, high rate DSS or ERP)

–Received Signal Power—The strength of the beacon or probe response frame in dBm

–Parent TSF—The lower 4 bytes of the serving access point's TSF value

–Target TSF—The 8-byte TSF value contained in the beacon or probe response

–Beacon Interval—The 2-byte beacon interval in the received beacon or probe response

–Capability information—As present in the beacon or probe response

•Frame Measurement

–Channel—Channel number for this measurement

–BSSID—BSSID contained in the MAC header of the data frames received

–Number of frames—Number of frames received from the transmit address

–Received Signal Power—The signal strength of 802.11 frames in dBm

•Channel Load

–Channel—The channel number for this measurement

–CCA busy fraction—The fractional duration over which CCA indicated the channel was busy during the measurement duration defined as ceiling (255 times the duration the CCA indicated channel was busy divided by measurement duration)

•Noise Histogram

–Channel—The channel number for this measurement

–RPI density in each of the eight power ranges

Step 5 Click Perform Measurement to initiate the measurement.

The measurements take about 5 msec to perform. A message from WCS indicates the progress. If the client chooses not to perform the measurement, that is also communicated.

Monitoring Mesh Networks Using Maps

You can access and view details for the following elements from a mesh network map in Cisco WCS:

•Mesh Link Statistics

•Mesh Access Points

•Mesh Access Point Neighbors

Details on how this information is accessed and the information displayed for each of these items is detailed in the following sections.

Monitoring Mesh Link Statistics Using Maps

You can view the SNR for a specific mesh network link, view the number of packets transmitted and received on that link, and initiate a link test from the Monitor > Maps display.

To view details on a specific mesh link between two mesh access points or a mesh access point and a root access point, do the following:

Step 1 Choose Monitor > Maps.

Step 2 Click the Map Name that corresponds to the outdoor area, campus, building, or floor you want to monitor.

Step 3 Click the arrow to the right of AP Mesh Info in the left sidebar menu (see Figure 6-1). A Mesh Filter dialog box appears.

Figure 6-1 Mesh Filter Page

Step 4 Move the cursor over the colored dot next to each mesh access point child to view details on the link between it and its parent. Table 6-1 summarizes the parameters that display.

The color of the dot also provides a quick reference point of the SNR strength.

•A green dot represents a high SNR (above 25 dB).

•An amber dot represents an acceptable SNR (20-25 dB).

•A red dot represents a low SNR (below 20 dB).

•A black dot indicates a root access point.

The following Bridging Link information displays:

Table 6-1 Bridging Link Information
Parameter	Description
Information fetched on	Date and time that information was compiled.
Link SNR	Link signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Link Type	Hierarchical link relationship.
SNR Up	Signal-to-noise radio for the uplink (dB).
SNR Down	Signal-to-noise radio for the downlink (dB).
PER	The packet error rate for the link.
Tx Parent Packets	The TX packets to a node while acting as a parent.
Rx Parent Packets	The RX packets to a node while acting as a parent.
Time of Last Hello	Date and time of last hello.

Step 5 Click either Link Test, Child to Parent or Link Test, Parent to Child. After the link test is complete, a results page appears.

Note A link test runs for 30 seconds.

Note You cannot run link tests for both links (child-to-parent and parent-to-child) at the same time.

Step 6 To view a graphical representation of SNR statistics over a period of time, click the arrow on the link. A page with multiple SNR graphs appears (see Figure 6-2).

The following graphs are displayed for the link:

•SNR Up—Plots the RSSI values of the neighbor from the perspective of the access point.

•SNR Down—Plots the RSSI values that the neighbor reports to the access point.

•Link SNR—Plots a weighed and filtered measurement based on the SNR Up value.

•The Adjusted Link Metric—Plots the value used to determine the least cost path to the root access point. This value is the ease to get to the rooftop access point and accounts for the number of hops. The lower the ease value, the less likely the path is used.

•The Unadjusted Link Metric—Plots the least cost path to get to the root access point unadjusted by the number of hops. The higher the value for the unadjusted link, the better the path.

Using Mesh Filters to Modify Map Display of Maps and Mesh Links

In the mesh hierarchical page, you can also define mesh filters to determine which mesh access points display on the map based on hop values as well as what labels display for mesh links.

Mesh access points are filtered by the number of hops between them and their root access point.

To use mesh filtering, follow these steps:

Step 1 To modify what label and color displays for a mesh link, follow these steps:

a. In the Mesh Parent-Child Hierarchical View, select an option from the Link Label drop-down list. Options are None, Link SNR, and Packet Error Rate.

b. In the Mesh Parent-Child Hierarchical View, select an option from the Link Color drop-down list to define which parameter (Link SNR or Packet Error Rate) determines the color of the mesh link on the map.

Note The color of the link provides a quick reference point of the SNR strength or Packet Error Rate. Table 6-7 defines the different link colors.

Table 6-7 Definition for SNR and Packet Error Rate Link Color
Link Color	Link SNR	Packet Error Rate (PER)
Green	Represents a SNR above 25 dB (high value)	Represents a PER of one percent (1%) or lower
Amber	Represents a SNR between 20 and 25 dB (acceptable value)	Represents a PER that is less than ten percent (10%) and greater than one percent (1%)
Red	Represents a SNR below 20 dB (low value)	Represents a PER that is greater than ten percent (10%)

Note The Link label and color settings are reflected on the map immediately (see Figure 6-12). You can display both SNR and PER values simultaneously.

Step 2 To modify which mesh access points display based on the number of hops between them and their parents, do the following:

a. In the Mesh Parent-Child Hierarchical View, click the Quick Selections drop-down list.

b. Select the appropriate option from the menu. A description of the options is provided in Table 6-8.

Google Earth Settings

Access point related settings can be defined from the Google Earth Settings page. To configure access point settings for the Google Earth Maps feature, follow these steps:

Step 1 Choose Monitor > Google Earth Maps.

Step 2 Configure the following parameters:

•Refresh Settings—Choose the Refresh from Network check box to enable this on-demand refresh. This option is applied only once and then disabled.

Caution

Because this refresh occurs directly from the network, the length of time it takes to collect data depends on the number of access points.

•Layers—Layer filters for access points, access point heat maps, and access point mesh information can be selected and saved. Select the check box to activate the applicable layer, and click the > to open the filter page.

Note These settings apply when Google Earth sends the request for the next refresh.

–Access Points—From the Display drop-down list, select to display channels, Tx power level, coverage holes, MAC addresses, names, controller IP, utilization, profiles, or clients.

Note If the access point layer is not checked, no data is returned and an error message is returned to Google Earth as a Placemark without an icon.

–AP Heatmap—From the Protocol drop-down list, choose 802.11a/n, 802.11b/g/n, 802.11a/n & 802.11b/g/n, or None. Choose the cutoff from the RSSI Cutoff drop-down list (- 60 to - 90 dBm).

Note If both 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n protocols are chosen, the heat maps are generated for both and overlaid on top of each other. The order cannot be defined. To prevent this overlay, you must turn off individual overlay in Google Earth or change it in the Google Earth Settings on WCS.

–AP Mesh Info—Choose Link SNR, Packet Error Rate, or none from the Link Label drop-down list. Choose Link SNR or Packet Error Rate from the Link Color drop-down list.

Note When the AP Mesh Info check box is chosen, Mesh Links are also automatically shown.

Step 3 Click Save to confirm these changes or Cancel to close the page without saving the changes.

Viewing Clients Identified as WGBs

If an access point is bridge capable, and the AP mode was set to Bridge, you can view clients identified as WGBs. WGB clients bridge wireless to wired. Any Cisco IOS access point can take on the role of a WGB, acting as a wireless client with a wired client connected to it. The information about this WGB is propogated to the controller and appears as a client in both WCS and WLC. To see a list of all clients identified as a workgroup bridges, follow these steps:

Step 1 Choose Monitor > Clients.

Step 2 At the Show drop-down list, choose WGB Clients. The Clients (detected as WGBs) page appears (see Figure 6-15).

Figure 6-15 Monitor > WGBs

Retrieving the Unique Device Identifier on Controllers and Access Points

The unique device identifier (UDI) standard uniquely identifies products across all Cisco hardware product families, enabling customers to identify and track Cisco products throughout their business and network operations and to automate their asset management systems. The standard is consistent across all electronic, physical, and standard business communications. The UDI consists of five data elements:

•The orderable product identifier (PID)

•The version of the product identifier (VID)

•The serial number (SN)

•The entity name

•The product description

The UDI is burned into the EEPROM of controllers and lightweight access points at the factory and can be retrieved through the GUI.

Follow these steps to retrieve the UDI on controllers and access points.

Step 1 Click Monitor > Controllers. The Monitor > Controllers page displays (see Figure 6-16).

Figure 6-16 Monitor > Controllers Page

Step 2 (Optional) If you want to change how the controller search results are displayed, click Edit View. The Edit View page appears (see Figure 6-17). In the left-hand page, highlight the areas you want to view and click Show to move them to the right-hand page. You can then highlight the areas in the right-hand menu and click Up or Down to rearrange the order.

RRM Dashboard

RRM automatically detects and configures new controllers and lightweight access points as they are added to the network. It then automatically adjusts associated and nearby lightweight access points to optimize coverage and capacity.

Lightweight access points can simultaneously scan all valid 802.11a/b/g channels for the country of operation as well as for channels available in other locations. The access points go "off-channel" for a period not greater than 60 ms to monitor these channels for noise and interference. Packets collected during this time are analyzed to detect rogue access points, rogue clients, ad-hoc clients, and interfering access points.

Note In the presences of voice traffic (in the last 100 ms), the access points defer off-channel measurements and do not change channels.

Each access point spends only 0.2 percent of its time off-channel. This activity is distributed across all access points so that adjacent access points are not scanning at the same time, which could adversely affect wireless LAN performance. In this way, administrators gain the perspective of every access point, thereby increasing network visibility.

Prior to WCS software release 5.1, WCS would receive traps whenever a change in the transmit power of the access point or channel occurred. These trap events or similar events such as RF regrouping were logged into WCS events as informational and were maintained by the event dispatcher. The reason for the transmit power or channel changes (such as signals from neighboring access points, interference, noise, load balancing, and so on) were not evident. You could not view these events and statistics to then perform troubleshooting practices.

A snapshot of the Radio Resource Management (RRM) statistics (delivered in 5.1) helps identify trouble spots and provides possible reasons for channel or power level changes. The dashboard provides network-wide RRM performance statistics and predicts reasons for channel changes based on grouping the events together (access point performance, configuration mismatch between controllers in the same RF group, coverage holes that were detected by access points based on threshold, coverage holes that were detected by controllers, ratios of access points operating at maximum power, and so on).

Note The RRM dashboard information is only available for lightweight access points.

Channel Change Notifications

Two adjacent access points on the same channel can cause either signal contention or signal collision. In the case of a collision, data is simply not received by the access point. This functionality can become a problem, for example, when someone reading e-mail in a cafe affects the performance of the access point in a neighboring business. Even though these are completely separate networks, someone sending traffic to the cafe on channel 1 can disrupt communication in an enterprise using the same channel. Controllers address this problem by dynamically allocating access point channel assignments to avoid conflict and to increase capacity and performance. Channels are "reused" to avoid wasting scarce RF resources. In other words, channel 1 is allocated to a difference access point far from the cafe, which is more effective than not using channel 1 altogether.

The controller's dynamic channel assignment (DCA) capabilities are also useful in minimizing adjacent channel interference between access points. For example, two overlapping channels in the 802.11b/g band, such as 1 and 2, cannot both simultaneously use 11/54 Mb/s. By effectively reassigning channels, the controller keeps adjacent channels separated, thereby avoiding this problem.

Notifications are sent to the WCS RRM dashboard when a channel change occurs. Channel changes depend on the dynamic channel assignment (DCA) configuration where the mode can be set to auto or on demand. When the mode is auto, channel assignment is periodically updated for all lightweight access points which permit this operation. When the mode is set to on demand, channel assignments are updated based upon request. If the DCA is static, no dynamic channel assignments occur, and values are set to their global default.

In WCS software releases prior to 5.1, only radios using 20-MHz channelization are supported by DCA. In WCS software release 5.1, DCA is extended to support 802.11n 40-MHz channels in the 5-GHz band. 40-MHz channels allow radios to achieve higher instantaneous data rates (potentially 2.25 times higher than 20-MHz channels.) In WCS software release 5.1, you can choose between DCA working at 20 or 40 MHz.

Note Radios using 40-MHz channels in the 2.4-GHz band are not supported by DCA.

When a channel change trap is received and a channel change had occurred earlier, the event is marked as Channel Revised; otherwise, the event is marked as Channel Changed. Each event for channel change can be caused by multiple reasons. The reason code is factored and equated to one irrespective of the number of reasons for the event to occur. For example, suppose a channel change is caused by signal, interference, or noise. When the reason code is received in the notification, the reason code is refactored across the reasons. If three reasons caused the event to occur, the reason code is refactored to 1/3 or 0.33 per reason. If ten channel change events are received with the same reason code, all of the three reasons are equally factored to determine the cause of the channel change.

Transmission Power Change Notifications

The controller dynamically controls access point transmit power based on real0time wireless LAN conditions. Normally, power can be kept low to gain extra capacity and reduce interference. The controller attempts to balance the access points' transmit power according to how the access points are seen by their third strongest neighbor.

The transmit power control algorithm reduces or increases an access point's power. However, the coverage hole algorithm can only increase access point power, thereby filling a coverage hole. For example, if a failed access point is detected, the coverage hole algorithm can automatically increase power on surrounding access points to fill the gap created by the loss in coverage.

Notifications are sent to the WCS RRM dashboard when transmission power changes occur. Each event for transmit power changes is caused by multiple reasons. The reason code is factored and equated to one irrespective of the number of reasons for the event to occur.

RF Grouping Notifications

When RRM is run on the controller, dynamic grouping is done, and a new group leader is chosen. Dynamic grouping has two modes: on and off. When the grouping is off, no dynamic grouping occurs, and each switch optimizes only its own lightweight access point parameters. When the grouping is on, switches form groups and elect leaders to perform better dynamic parameter optimization. With grouping on, configured intervals (in seconds) represent the period with which the grouping algorithm is run. (Grouping algorithms also run when the group contents change and automatic grouping is enabled.)

Viewing the RRM Dashboard

The RRM dashboard is accessed by choosing Monitor > RRM (see Figure 6-19).

Figure 6-19 RRM Statistics Dashboard

The dashboard is made up of the following parts:

•The RRM Statistics portion shows network-wide statistics

•The Channel Change Reason portion shows why channels changed for all 802.11a/b/g/n radios.

•The Channel Change shows all events complete with causes.

•The Configuration Mismatch portion shows comparisons between the leaders and members.

•The Coverage Hole portion rates how severe the coverage holes are and gives their location.

•The APs at Maximum Power

•The Percent Time at Maximum Power shows what percent of time the access points were at maximum power and gives the location of those access points.

The following statistics are displayed:

•Total Channel Changes—The sum total of channel changes across 802.11a/b/g/n radios, irrespective of whether the channel was updated or revised. The count is split over a 24-hour and 7-day period. If you click the percentages link or the link under the 24-hour column, a screen with details for that access point only appears.

•Total Configuration Mismatches—The total number of configuration mismatches detected over a 24-hour.

•Total Coverage Hole Events—The total number of coverage hole events over a 24-hour and 7-day period.

•Number of RF Groups—The total number of RF groups currently managed by WCS.

•Configuration Mismatch—The configuration mismatch over a 24-hour period by RF group with details on the group leader.

•Percent of APs at MAX Power—The percentage of access points with 802.11a/n radios as a total percentage across all access points which are at maximum power. The maximum power levels are preset and are derived with reference to the present maximum power of the access point.

Note Maximum power is shown in three areas of the RRM dashboard. This maximum power portion shows the current value and is poll driven.

•Channel Change Causes—A graphical bar chart for 802.11a/n radios. The chart is factored based on the reason for channel change. The chart is divided into two parts, each depicting the percentage of weighted reasons causing the event to occur over a 24-hour and 7-day period. Each event for channel change can be caused by multiple reasons, and the weight is equally divided across these reasons. The net reason code is factored and equated to one irrespective of the number of reasons for the event to occur.

•Channel Change APs—Each event for channel change includes the MAC address of the lightweight access point. For each reason code, you are given the most channel changes that occurred for the 802.11a/n access point based on the weighted reason for channel events. This count is split over a 24-hour and 7-day period.

•Coverage Hole Events APs—The top five access points filtered by IF Type 11 a/n which triggered a coverage hole event are displayed.

•Aggregated Percent Max Power APs—A graphical progressive chart of the total percentage of 802.11a/n lightweight access points which are operating at maximum power to accommodate coverage holes and events. The count is split over a 24-hour and 7-day period.

Note This maximum power portion shows the values from the last 24 hours and is poll driven. The power is polled every 15 minutes or as configured for radio performance.

•Percent Time at Maximum Power—A list of the top five 802.11a/n lightweight access points which have been operating at maximum power.

Note This maximum power portion shows the value from the last 24 hours and is only event driven.
