Cisco :: 4400 WLC / WCS - Monitoring Lobby Admin User Activity
Jan 26, 2011We 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?
Junk Hiding Within Network As To Configuration Of 4 Earlier Networks?
Feb 27, 2012I have a win 7 pc networked to several xp desktops and notebooks, nas, wired network printers, and all works well. Its no big deal but everything I look at to do with my network on my win7 pc says its network5. Is there a way to have this network 1 which I assume it was once? Does this mean that there is also junk hiding within my network as to the configuration of 4 earlier networks?

Aug 2, 2012I was examining my router's logs the other day and I noticed a recurring entry stating that my PC's IP address was sending packets to the IP 172.16.30.115 on port 80, and that the router was dropping them.Except for the fact that my home LAN uses the 192.168.1.0/24 network EXCLUSIVELY. That is all it has ever used since this router was set up, and the only other networks we have EVER used are 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24. So why, I wondered, is my PC repeatedly sending (presumably) HTTP traffic to a private IP that is not and never has been on my network?I wasn't worried about what these connections might be doing, since I figured they couldn't do anything, but I was kind of concerned about what was generating this traffic in the first place. So I downloaded Wireshark and ran a capture for 30 minutes. Upon completion, I filtered results to show only packets that contained the IP 172.16.30.115, as either the source or destination IP.Based on the router logs, I expected to see three packets with my PC's source IP address and a random source port sent to 172.16.30.115, port 80 every 10 minutes.And I did see that. These are TCP packets, and they appear to be completely empty. The only thing I noticed about them is that the SYN flag is set. I don't know what the significance of that is, if any, but that's what I noticed.
What I DIDN'T expect to see were the packets that had a source IP of 172.16.30.115. These packets (also TCP) had the ACK and RST flags set, and they contained the text "Go away, we're not home." So not only are there packets being sent to an IP that cannot possibly exist within my network, but there are also packets coming FROM the impossible IP telling me to go away.All of that is scary enough on its own. But then I hopped on Google and did a search for the phrase "go away, we're not home," and almost every result was related to the decline of the Storm worm. After reading about Storm, I was more confused, not less. In its heyday, Storm used UDP traffic to communicate between peers, and my mystery traffic was TCP. Storm usually did not use well-known port numbers, such as 80, which I read was part of what made it so resilient. Not to mention that the most recent posts I could find regarding the Storm worm were dated 2010 and were about the possibility of a second Storm, and I didn't get this PC until May 2011. Plus, even if we ignore all of this and operate under the assumption that I have the Storm worm on my PC, that still doesn't explain the fact that the traffic from my computer is heading to a private IP that is NOT, I repeat, NOT being used on my network, my router says it's dropping this traffic, but my PC is still somehow receiving a response from an IP address that 1) isn't on the network and 2) can't be having any packets forwarded to it, since the router says it's dropping the traffic.So, operating under the worst-case scenario assumption, I used two different virus scanners (not simultaneously, of course) to do the deepest scans they are capable of doing. They both turned up completely clean. In fact, I've had AVG Free installed on my computer since I got it, and even if you look at my virus history you only see a few tracking cookies, a corrupted EXE from the Skype setup folder, and a Trojan dropper that I never even ran because I thought the file properties seemed fishy so I scanned it and promptly deleted it. So I now have to go back to operating under the assumption that I do NOT have the Storm worm, and I am back to the drawing board.
Packets Activity Stops But Still On The Network?
May 11, 2011During the last month or so my internet connection keeps stalling and will not work until I repair the connection, however I am still connected to the network, I just can't send or receive packets. In particular when I am downloading things, it will stop after 2MB is downloaded or 300MB, it just random. After sending/receiving 7,000 packets or 700,00. This only happens to my computer with the wifi adapter. Prior to this I didn't have any issues for over two years. My phone and laptop still connect via wifi to the internet. And the xbox and blu ray player are connected via ethernet and have not had any problems. The log for my router states "deauthenticate reason 3", which I have found to mean "The access point went offline, deauthenticating the client". So, I figured that the issue could be the wifi adapter which I installed on the laptop and that too never had an issue. I used inSSIDer 2.0 to see the close by networks and changed channels to get away from the strongest ones. I tried switching to wireless n only instead of g and n, the problem still persists.
Then I figured the issue must be my computer and no malware, spyware, adware nor any virus was found. The same thing happened while in safe mode. I also tried the winsock fix to no avail, reinstalled the wifi adapter and made sure all firmware for the router and adapter were up to date as well as XP. I also tried with my firewall shutdown but I still loose the connection. So I then reluctantly did a clean install and even with the bare essentials it still stopped working. I also bought a 15ft USB extension to get a better signal but still, even though I have a good or excellent signal I still have problems. My latest thought was this was the only machine running firefox 4 so I went back to 3 and that didn't either. I checked my usage with my ISP and I am no where near the 250GB a month.
Keep Getting Blocked From Any Network Activity For 1 Minute?
Dec 25, 2011I keep getting disconnected and blocked from using even LAN on my computer. This happens whenever I visit certain websites. For instance, I registered on a website that has me "kept signed in", and whenever I click to view that website, it partially loads and then for precisely 1 minute any network activity I try (like visiting my router configuration page, or clicking refresh or home to load google) will not go through. Only after that one minute is over with, I can resume browsing that website; however, if I leave it for too long, and then return, the same thing happens.
I've also noticed that if I sign out of that website and then visit it, that disconnect issue won't happen.But that isn't the case with other websites, as they require no accounts and are just pages with news and other stuff.I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my ethernet drivers, tried flushing dns, renewing ip, releasing and some other /cmd stuff that I found online.This also doesn't happen on any of the computers connected to my router (although, they are all using wireless - I am using cable to router).I'm on windows 7 x64, using a realtek ethernet card, Nod32 security suite (think it may be the settings on this thing? I set everything to super safe settings so I don't get any dumb viruses). Windows is updated (well, at least 3-4 months ago it was updated). I have no idea what is causing this, and why the precise 60 second interval until I regain access to the internet.I'm using Firefox, but this also happens on IE8 or 9 or whatever I have installed, so I don't think it's a browser issue.Things like facebook, youtube, pennyarcade and other junk work, but as soon as I go to google looking for, say, apartment rentals and open some pages, one of the links in the search results is bound to make my connection freeze.

Jun 10, 2012At intermittent times, we will have a single device start to "hide" behind a 1242 bridge.In the past, my team would reload or reboot the bridge, and everything would come back up.But the 90 seconds of lost data were causing problems.
I found the the WB was always available.So I would ping the hidden device from the WB, and it would ping.Next, I showed the ARP table, and got the MAC address of the hidden device.Then, I would start a ping from my PC, and leave it running. Constant "Destination Unreachables" from the router.Next, I showed the bridging table for F0, and sometimes the device would be there, sometimes not. I would add a forwarding bridging entry manualy, and exit conf.
Showing the briding table would show the device, with a "P"ermanent age, but still no pinging.Finally, I would remove the forwarding briding entry, and pings would start within a couple of seconds.During these periods, outbound UDP packets will continue to be forwarded from the PC.So, my managers want to convert everything to UDP, which is a potential disaster in my opinion.

Network Monitoring Software That Would Monitors Constant Network Connectivity
Mar 25, 2011Anu network monitoring software that would monitors constant network connectivity? I am working with a company who uses an Access database that checks members in and out of a gym. 6-8 people work in the database at any given time. Several times a day the users will get a network error and they have to force the database to close. Sometimes this happens to all of the users and sometimes to just certain ones. I believe the problem lies with the database (due to poor programming) but I want to monitor the network connectivity to see if and when the network connection is dropped and determine if that corresponds with when users begin seeing network errors in the database.

Network Monitoring And Statistics Software?
Sep 27, 2011Are there any good freeware software for network workload performance reporting (i.e. monitoring, statistics, etc. )?
View 4 Replies View RelatedRemote Network Performance Monitoring
Feb 2, 2011I need to track and record all functionality, connectivity speeds and applications of a remote laptop. Here's the basic set up of my problem:We have 40 medical facilities in five Western States, each with up to 30+ pieces of hardware including thin clients, PCs, laptop computers and wall mounted touch screen kiosks operating on a variety of OS including primarily XP pro, then Linux and transitioning into Win 7.We have installed Aruba wireless network in each building on which our mobile medical cart laptops connect. Each facility has a different mix of primary and backup/failover ISP from DSL, Cable, T1 to Bonded T. All are at or exceed 22MB down, 5MB up save the T1s at their dedicated 1.5 and we monitor speeds and network stats trhough our gateway device. PfSense.All employees connect through an RDP (Remote Connection) to our hosting company in Atlanta, GA where the farm of about 28 servers reside hosting our medical, email and office applications.We regularly are contacted by nursing and clinical office staff complaining that "the network is slow". We review connection speeds, loads, ping times and confirm that there are no ISP Speed issues that are causing the "Slowness". However when we review exactly what the nurses mean by "slow" it invariably turns to how long it takes to log in to the RDP sessions and access then run their medical applications in the RDP. They often sit and wait for the RDP to load for five minutes or more and complain of waiting for their typing to catch up in the applications they work in.
We believe the slowness occurs once they are connected in the RDP and that their problems are occurring at the hosting company's facility, getting through their firewall, through profile management and server hardware/software but we can not prove this is the case because the hosting company always claims they see perfectly acceptable speeds and access on their side and we are locked out from access to monitor tehir environment. Changing hosting companies is probelmatic because they are specialised in our industry and leaving would be diffcult. I need some software that I can install on a few machines in a select few of our facilities that will track and record the actual user experience so that we can watch and review exactly what is happening, what the network stats look like and precisely where the user is experiencing "slowness".

View 4 Replies View RelatedD-Link DIR 655 - Office Network Traffic Monitoring
Oct 4, 2011We currently have a 3/3 Etherloop. We dont have any internal IT as we are still small and while not a networking guy I can at least understand what is going on. Right now at peaks we are hitting 100% utilization.
We run a call center in house so I am trying to determine at the very least how much of this traffic is from voice data compared to everything else.Was running through our networking configuration and it just seems off to me. The following is the flow.
-Etherloop Demarcation >
-Cisco Integrated Access Device >
-D-Link DIR 655 Wireless Router >
-24port HP Procurve switch >
-24port HP Procruve switch >
Everything up to the first switch is a single line. The first switch has all ports running out except 1 which goes to the second switch. The second switch runs out to machines as well.
I am at the networking level where I understand a switch but have no idea what the IAD really does between the etherloop modem and the wireless router.
For some reason I feel like the router should not be setup in that manner and should be off of the switch. With the cisco IAD running directly to the first switch. So my 2 big questions are.
1. Does this setup even make sense.
2. Whats the easiest way to monitor traffic, at the very least it would be nice to see real time up/down and be able to log in. Then I guess using ports figure out what is being used by voice. My first guess was just putting a machine between the IAD and first switch and monitor and log the traffic.
