View 7 RepliesI have a 5508 wlc trunked to a 6500 switch. Also trunked to the switch on both eth0 and eth1 is the CAS. The CAM is connected with an access port.
The CAS and CAM are on seperate VLANs and the CAS was added to the CAM without issue. I followed the example document for OOB WLAN (VLANs and mapping etc) but I don't get any authentication going on. The client associates and the WLAN interface is the quarantine VLAN However it seems the client can connect to the network without issue (can web browse to a server internaly to the campus)
The client is shown in the wireless clients on the device page of the CAM, If i close down either of the CAS interfaces the client connectivity is broken.
Just once, randomly the Clean Access Login Page appeared on the client (battery had died and waited about an hour) but when I rebooted the CAS to check it was consistent it never came back.
I have been noticing in my trap logs that there are an excessive amount of Client Association/Authentication Failures. I cannot figure out why. I have a Cisco 5508 WLC with 81 AP's (1131ag, 1142abgn, 1262N) models. The wireless devices are on a Windows Domain and use 802.1x EAP authentication, authenticating the user and computer info with a RADIUS Server. I look at the logs and all it can tell me is Reason:Unspecified ReasonCode:1. I read that the Reason Code is due to "Client associated but no longer authorized" but to be honest I am not sure what that means.

We are seeing a lot of "Client De-authenticated" errors "Reason: Unspecified Reason: Code 1. Years ago I asked about error code 1. The reply from Cisco was: "The programers put the code in. It basically means we don't know what the problem is."Got a call from one of the dorms stating that students were getting knocked off the network while going to sites. If a student is wired, network is solid.Walked the dorm in question and was getting full bars of signals at all times, and was able to stream a movie from my Ultraviolet account without any break or slowdown as I moved from access point to access point. So.. my device, an iPad, was fully mobile and did not experience any disconnects.Did observe one student using a MacBook Pro. This student was constantly loosing connection to the access point. Checked the controller for the MAC of the student's computer. I did find deauthentication errors. BUT... this student's error was the computer was receiving an IP address from the DHCP that was already in use. At the computer the error message was a timeout issue.I am just learning the ropes on the 5508. Have used 3 4404s for the past six years.

I recently picked up this router on clearance to replace a Linksys WRT54GS in the hopes that I would get better speeds for streaming multi-media (NETFLIX). I live in a single story home with a room over the garage (this is where my cable modem and Dlink router are located). To increase signal strength throughout my house I had previously purchased an EnGenius ERB9250 range extender (which supports 802.11N 300mbs), now all my wireless devices show full bars anywhere in the house. Unfortunately when I test my connection to the wireless network I seem to only be registering about 5 - 8 mbs. This really isn't any better than I was getting with my older Linksys, but I thought the Dlink could do up to 150mbs. I have verified that both my range extender and the router are configured correctly, and have tried disabling the QoS (read somewhere that it might drop signals). So far nothing I do seems to increase performance. Is this normal for this router? Am I being unrealistic in trying to get better performance? Is there anything special I need to do to increase performance? I downloaded several wireless sniffers and have set my router to wireless channel 6 as this is the least used by my neighbors (actually shows as 6+2).

What is how I see it nothing different than a Router with ATT Logo on, but now to my question I have a LAN Cable going to my living room and have a switch there for all my TV ? PO-Box for streaming my direct TV Internet etc. Now I have not perfect Wireless in the whole house.. no I thought can I use the Net-gear Router in the Living room instead of a switch and also send a wireless signal from there.

I don't have nor do I want 802.1x enabled. Is there something I need to disable either on the client or the controller?
The IPAD VPN works great over token, radius and local authentication. But now we need to authenticate vpn client via digital certificate (only vpn authentication between client and gateway)? I'm not sure which certificate we should buy to authenticate vpn client.The plan is to install digital certifiacte on VPN Gateway (CISCO ASA 8.0.4) and IPAD Cisco IPSec client to eliminate user/pass authentication.

I am trying from couple of days but no success.With ASA, i am able to authenticate against AD, but not with IOS router. Below are my configurationsIf kerberos authentication is not possible, I would like to know the possibility of using AD as ACS external database. I am running both AD and ACS in the same server. If i can integrate AD with ACS, i can use TACACS or RADIUS for the authentication.

1. There are 25 departments around the campus, each will be given one or two access points.
2. One Cisco AIR-CT5508-50-K9 Controller shall be used.
3. Single SSID/ VLAN shall be used for entire campus.
4. Wireless Authentication credentials used by one department shouldn’t work for other department
My ISP has just implemented a new network on the cable infrastructure which uses a PPTP authentication method. It works on my Cisco RVS4000 router as there is an option to set PPTP as the WAN type. The only trouble with the RVS4000 is that the performance is very poor, hence I am trying to get it working with a Cisco 1921. I have looked high and low and I cannot find an sample of a Cisco router functioning as PPTP client to a ISP.Enclosed is the screen shot of my Cisco RVS400 with the options etc.

What i want to achieve is disable https over web authentication due to certificate issue, but it seems like even we have disable the http over web management as above URL describe, still https while doing web authentication. Or it is possible to configure use port other than 80, like 8080 for web authentication? (need to reboot the wlc?)Is there any bug that related to this CSCsy32145?
WLC Software Version 6.0.196.0
We have a 5508 WLC with a few WAP's (1131's and 1242's). Our wireless clients use certificate base authentication against our AD (i.e. both computer cert and user cert are required). However, from time to time I see clients being associated but not authenticated as reported by the WLC. Could it be possible, as some literatures indicate that a client can only be "associated" after it's successfully authenticated? Perhaps I'm not quite clear about the concept.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a 5508 controller running 7.4.100 and have a WLAN where I have radius configured. On my controller the client machine I'm using appears but the radius authentication doesn't appear to be working. Is there anything on the controller I can do to verify that the request is even being sent to my Microsoft IAS server? The log on the server doesn't show any requests from the controller so my early days guess is the controller isn't actually sending it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe've recently boughten new equipment to upgrade/replace some of our aging wireless hardware. We're moving to a pair of 5508 controllers and changing over to ACS 5.4. Currently we're just doing MAC filtering with ACS 4.2 and local users. I'd like to move most of our SSIDs to some type of AD authentication. Are there any all encompassing guides that layout the design behind that? So far I haven't had much luck finding one!
Also, would it be possible to maintain some of the local ACS users/MAC filtering? We have some mechanical equipment that connects to our network (separate SSID) but cannot join a domain.
I having some troubles with Web Authentication in a WLC 5508 version 7.2 to make authentication with the corporative phones, ANDROID GingerBread 2.3.6 model SAMSUNG GT-S7500L. When I try to connect to the VisitorsWirelessLAN in order to authenticate with web authentication the page never comes, in fact the phone never gets the IP. I have an iPhone and I have not problems, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS 4.0.1 and works perfect, is only with gingerbread
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've set up several local network users (Security > Local Net Users) on the WLC (5508 running 7.0.98.0). Whenever I try to connect with one of these user accounts (I'm testing this out for now), the attempt is unsuccessful and I see an "AAA Authentication Failure for UserName: xxxxxxx User Type: WLAN USER" in the Trap Log. I thought that after trying to authenticate through a RADIUS server, the local user database would be polled and then a user account in that database would be able to authenticate.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm a trainee in Network and Telecommunication, and I have to do a "model" with a controller, an AP, and a RADIUS server. Communication and configuration of the lightweight AP has been done.
I use an autonomous access point 1220 as the RADIUS server (no considering it as an AP), and I'm a beginner in RADIUS configuration. I get a "Processing AAA Error 'No Server' (-7) for mobile 00:24:d6:8f:2c:7e" when I launch a debug targetting my PC, connecting to the LAP.
Precursory : 10.137.125.71 is the IP address of the ap1220, working as the RADIUS server 10.137.125.15 is the IP address of the controller. 00:24:d6:8f:2c:7e is the MAC address of my PC, connecting to the Wi-Fi. ping works to the RADIUS, to the controller. Each devices are connected by a layer 3 Switch, and ping each others. The Wi-Fi works when I don't use 802.1X (or when I don't use RADIUS authentication at all)
What I did on the RADIUS server (ap1220 autonomous) :
aaa new-model
radius-server local
nas 10.137.125.15 key password

I have two WLC5508 controllers configured with multiple SSIDs and a VLAN associated to each of them. Now I am deploying a pilot for Web-Authentication and everything seems to be fine except for the LDAP authentication part. I have done all the steps for enabling anonymous bind on Active Directory (AD) and the configuration on the controller is properly in place. I know the configuration is working fine because I have isolated the problem to some sort of routing or communication problem:
Controller Interfaces:
Management Interface - Vlan 1, (X.X.148.99)
Student Interface - Vlan 2 (X.X.132.99)
Mobile Devices interface - Vlan 28
Web authentication interface - Vlan 31
AD is on Vlan 2 (Student Interface range)Each interface has its own IP in a different IP range.
If there is an IP address configured on the Vlan2 interface, LDAP wont work. If there isnt an IP address on the Vlan 2 Interface LDAP works!So you may think I just should not configure an IP for that particular Vlan, but if do this, the controller wont allow to associate any WLAN to that particular Vlan interface and unfortunately I am using it.
I think the Controller uses the Management interface to send traffic to the LDAP server and it gets confused of getting a reply from a device which belongs to the Vlan 2 Interface IP range (AD is on Vlan 2).
I know the controller is a Layer 2 device, so I am not sure why it should need an IP address to be configured for each interface, I read it is used just for roaming purposes but it seems to be somehow related to LDAP communication process as well.
The strange thing is that I can access the management interface IP from the Vlan 2 range and there is not problem at all.
PD: Controller 5508, Software version: 7.0.230.0
Can we configure the wireless controller 5508 to authenticate the clients using both of MAC address Filtering (layer 2 security) and Web authentication (layer 3 security). and what is the difference between (Web policy --> authentication) and (Web policy --> on MAC filter failure)

The problem I have is there is a lot of shared iPads and tablets in the environment. Is there a way to force these user to relogin to radius after a certain time period so they are not sharing unames and passwords?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this scenario, AS5510 ver 8.4(3), VPN Client 5.0.07, RADIUS authentication with IAS on Windows 2003 Server.The issue is that, establishing the connection with the VPN Client, if the user credentials are correct every things works fine, but if we introduce a wrong password I don't receive an error message or a again the authentication form.Nothing happens the VPN Client keep trying to "contact security gateway", after about 5 minutes it stops without any message.Debugging the authentication process in the ASA I see that if the password is incorrect the radius authentication response is "reject". I have also tried with a different version of VPN Client but nothing change.Using AnyConnect client every things works fine.

Having issue with WLC 5508 using ACS 5.2 tacacs+ protocol to do device management.The problem statement is after key in the username and password on the WLC login page, it is endlessly prompt for authentication on WLC. Whilst on ACS monitoring and reporting i able to see it is successfully authenticated, shown at AAA protocol > TACACS+ Authentication.On ACS, the shell profile for this is setting role1 , value = ALL.

I configured the virtual interface with the addredd 1.1.1.1 SSID Layer 2 security: None SSID Layer 3 security: Web Policy enabled
I join the ssid with clients, receive the IP address correctly however when I try to open a web page, the login page does not appear. When I check the client status I see that it stuck in WEBAUTH_REQD state.
We are using WLC-5508 in our corporate. For authenication we have implemented ACS with LDAP configured as external user database. We can able to get authenicated for Web based authenication. When it is configured for EAP-FAST, authenitication is not happening.
