Why do need Cisco NAC guest server when we have WLC 5508 already configured. The Guest user access can be given by the WLC itself too. We can create users in WLC also and grant access to the user to access internet for specific time frame. My query is - what is so different in Cisco NGS that it is considered good in terms of Guest users access. What are the advatages of NGS.

I have two 5508 WLCs. Both have APs attached to them. If I create a guest account with the lobby administrator on one, will that user account be able to log in to the network if the client is attached to the ohter WLC? So far, I have found that I need to create the same user on both WLC's, in order to have the user login.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to configure a LobbyAdmin account for WLC 7.0 on a 5.1 ACS? I'm very new to ACS 5. How to configure it.
I've got the ACS policy working that allows me to login to the WLC using a user account with full rights but the Lobby admin account can login with full rights as well. I've tried setting the custome attributes in the shell profiles with role0-mandatory-LobbyAmbassador, task0-Mandatory-Configure Guest User and task1-Mandatory-Lobby Ambassador User Preferences but it still doesn't work.
I was wondering if there is a way to limit the ability of the "lobby admin" account to only be able to give out 24 hour wireless access? The situation is this, we are going to move the roles of guest wireless over to our lobby administrators, but we are afraid they might break policy and give out 30 day wireless access so they dont have to keep renewing guest access each day. We want to limit access to 24 hour "tokens" for all guest unless its a unique situation.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe currently have about 8 WLC 4400 series controllers deployed around the company, one of these controllers is acting as an Achor controller for GUEST wifi access for visitors to the company, as a result of this we have many users with "LobbyAdmin" access to setup users.
We have recently introduced a Cisco WCS to manage these devices but its not fully implemented/active to see all WLC's.I need to be able to report on the LobbyAdmin users to see who is setting up accounts and for who etc. Currently access to the WLC/WCS is done via Local admin accounts. All accounts for the LobbyAdmin people are setup on our anchor controller.
I have added the anchor controller for this to the WCS system but when looking in Administration/AAA/Groups the LobbyAdmin groups shows No Members.Is there a way that i can import the Lobby Admin names from the anchor WLC to the WCS so i can do reports/audit checks on these users?
Is there a module or way to create a Guest Access Lobby on the ASA 5525? We currenly leverage the WLC to do this for us, but are moving to a routed access enviornment which is causing some issues. We would like to offload the guest access responsibility to the ASA if possible.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi see there is an option to "allow password change" or "force password change" for guest roles in the NGS. But when i created a guest account using this guest role, after webauthentication , there is no prompt to change password. Is this the intended behaviour or is there anything else that i need to configure. Looking at it, i am not sure how the NGS would allow a "guest user" to really overwrite the password by allowing password change. ? is that not a security risk as well for the NGS ? my setup has 5508 anchor controller and NGS communicating via RADIUS.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed NGS 2.0.2 for wireless guest user management and authentication. I implement webauth via webauth page on wlc deployed.One Branch with a WLC5508 version 7.0 wireless anchor controller is working on the NGS.But now I integrate next branch with WLC4402 version 6.0.188 and the authentication of users at the new branch gets an error, wrong user/password.
I double checked configuration and user/password but I can't find any configuration error. Also stopping and starting of radius service and reboot of NGS still does not work. I tried to debug the radius via web interface and watched for the loggfile and there is still a reject.I also tried the freeradius command radiusd -X but I got an error when starting the radiusd -X.
1.) How can I figure out, if I will get the correct password from my WLC ? Are there any debug options to see more ? e.g. some cli commands, radiustest utilities or how to get the received password from the chap challenge of the debug ?
2.) I have appended a part from my radius loggfile. How can I find the detailed error in the radius log file? Is it correct that the password in the debug file is empty ? raiuds logg line "[radius-user-auth] expand: %{User-Password} -> "

We currently tunnel guests to a 4402 that sits behind our firewall and it's been working well for a few years but I am aware that the 4402 is now EoL so I am exploring alternatives:
We also have several 5508s deployed and I'm wondering if - in any new guest access config - I can allocate one of its free h/w ports to connect to the firewall, even though the 5508 is configured to use LAG.
To put it another way can I configure a new port to a seperate VLAN and not be part of the the LAG'd ports or are you tied to having all ports acting as a group if LAG is switched on?
Is it possible to provide wireless guest access over the WAN from another office via the WLC. I have WLC 5508 in a central office and have other remote offices that have one Access Point in each office that are autonomous; I will be converting these to LWAPP. Is it possible to route guest traffic back to the WLC then forward this traffic out to the internet? How would I route this traffic out as well? install a secondary WLC in the DMZ and use anchor points. I only have one WLC
View 7 Replies View Related, I have a requirement by a customer that they will want to monitor the guest wireless access. Currently, we are proposing a Cisco Wireless Controller 5508 together with APs and the setup would be a dedicated VLAN for guest. I am wondering if Cisco ISE together with Cisco MSE would be sufficient?
Stuff to monitor and log are:
1. Guest username (I guess this would be self sponsored)
2. Company name
3. Websites accessed
4. Time, date and duration.
5. Logs are to be kept for 3 months at least.
Strange issue that our support staff is seeing on our guest WLAN. I have 2 wlans, 1 is production and authenticates our Domain controllers, this is working fine. The other is a wlan that has restricted access internally, I allow http, https and VPN access out only.
It appears that on the guest wlan, after random amount of time an established VPN connection using Cisco VPN client disconnects. Wireless connectivity doesnt appear to go down, just the vpn connection.
On this guest wlan, I have configured QOS bronze and I read a link where this may be affecting the UDP conversation between VPN client and end point.
I'm looking to implement guest WiFi access with web authentication on one of our 5508 WLC (currently deployed within a sandbox environment), but looking for some assistance. The WLC currently has a single connection from port 1 to the 'Test Site 2' switch. This is a dot1q trunk. On the WLC, the interface (for port 1) is configured as follows: [code] Currently, I have one WLAN configured with the profile name 'Guest Test 1', it's enabled and broadcasting the SSID. Security is L3 only with web authentication configured. The WLAN is configured to use the interface names "guest_wifi".
The issue is that when a client connects to the WLAN, it receives an IP address okay (10.99.254.x address), but doesn't seem to be able to contact the WLC to get the web authentication page. Eventually, the WLC terminates the connection due to an authentication failure.does it sound like I'm taking the correct approach here? The idea is that clients connect to the guest WLAN, which puts them on VLAN 99 and routes traffic through to the ASA and then onto the internet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement to set up a guest SSID for contractor so that they can use the internet while in the office.
Security say that all traffic on this SSID should be isolated and directed straight to the firewall, with no chance of contamination into the company network infrastructure.
With the 5508, my understanding is using the setting up a guest account functionality built in will achieve this, but all traffic would end up at the wireless controller. How do I then put a direct forward for all traffic to the firewall which will only affect the guest traffic?
I have set up a Guest Portal with WLC 5508 7.4 and ISE 1.1.1 ;everything is OK, except one thing: the Guest VLAN, associated to the Guest SSID is, actually, a DMZ behind my customer firewall and the DHCP parameters provided to the wireless Guest equipement connected on this VLAN include the public ISP DNS servers addresses, not the customer internal DNS serveurs addresses;this seems OK since the idea of this Guest SSID is to give a pure Internet access to the Guests, and no connection at all towards the customer internal servers;
the problem is that, when the wireless guest receives the redictect URL from ISE (URL to access the ISE Guest Portal), this URL is based on the ISE DNS name, not on its IP address; so, the PC can't resolve this internal DNS name by using the ISP DNS servers addresses provided by the DHCP server, and, so, it can't access the Guest Portal at all ;Apart from changing those DNS values in the DHCP server (the customer does not accept this solution), how could we solve this problem ?I have tried to code manually , in the CWA Authorization profile, the equivalent URL redirect via the CISCO av-pair as follows : [code] but, it does not work, since the sessionIdValue variable is not replaced by its real value when sent to the wireless client
I just got a new requirement for our wireless roll out and I need some help. Plan the best way to provide employee and guests wireless access w/ the guests separate from the production environment.
We have a 5508 controller w/ 1142 APs. I have two GBICs in the interfaces (only one is being used). I want to use a back haul connection for the guest access. I am having a hard time in visioning how to physically set up the cabling from the patch panel. Again, the requirement is to not allow guest users to connect to our production network but I still want/need to manage the AP. This will eventually need to be supported for remote sites tunneling back to the primary location.
We are implementing a new corporate headquarters and have bought a Cisco 5508. I have two connections plugged into the 5508 in ports 1 and port 2. Port 1 is for all internally wireless networks and connects to our core 6500 and use an external DHCP server scopes. Port 2 is for our guest WLAN and connects directly to a public network switch in front of (outside) the firewall. For the guest network, I have setup a vlan on the controller for dhcp and the interface setup to that vlan and dhcp scope built on the controller. how or can I NAT the internally addressing for the guest network to the public IP address on the controller. Essentially I want to drop of guest network traffic outside the firewall and not have to deal with setting up the firewall for any aspect of guest network traffic.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFor my company, I am running a Cisco 5508 WLC with a 4400 WLC as a guest anchor in our DMZ. There is a guest SSID and several business SSID's for internal equipment. Guest traffic should be tunneled out to the 4400 controller where [the client] gets its IP address and is sent out to the internet. No internal corporate access is possible. However, when I do a packet capture from my wired PC, I'm seeing traffic generated by different iPhones. It appears to be mostly IPv6 mDNS or ICMPv6 traffic. How would this traffic make it onto the corporate wired network, when it should be staying on the guest network? None of the iPhones have been setup on the business SSIDs, so I know it isn't legit traffic. Is there a setting in the WLC that will block this? Will an ACL work?
These are examples of some of the traffic that wireshark is capturing:

We currently have ACS 5.4 and Cisco WLC 5508's deployed. We have wireless lobby admin accounts that can login and successfully create and modify guest wireless accounts.

Currently our setup will only allow the creation of permanent accounts (by entering all 0's in the lifetime fields) or accounts that last up to thirty days.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a guest SSID which will be separate from other corp SSIDs. I have read about this auto-anchor feature and I have a basic idea. Here are some questions about the network design
1. Can Cisco 5508 with 7.2.111.3 code do NAT? I mean can I use the anchor controller also as a gateway to Internet or do I need another device such as FW or router to do the job?
2. I want the guests to get IP address in 192.168.0.0/24 range. On the anchor controller I will need an interface in this range, correct? However on the internal controller I won't need this interface. The guest ssid will be associated with the management interface on the internal controller, correct?
3. I want the guests to get IP address from general DHCP server. Does DHCP request have to come out of the new interface in the 192.168.0.0/24 range? However this interface will be connecting with the FW. It won't have connection back to the internal network to reach the DHCP server. The management interface will have the route to the DHCP server. Is it possible to use management interface for this SSID but still let traffic to pass through the Guest interface?
