Throttling Guest WLAN on WLC 8500

What is the best practise to throttle the Guest WLAN, which is only used for Internet access?

I agree with Steve.  The situation is really going to depend on your bandwidth and just how important you feel your guest traffic is.   You also have to run a higher version of code at least 7.4 to get more granular with limiting.
But here's something to consider.  My deployments are pretty much a controller per facility.  I tend to bandwidth limit by (guest) SSID and just provide a 10mbps DOWN and 5mbps UP.  Of course depends on the size of the facility and the number of guests.  That said my guests users are typically email and browsers but there are more and more video streamers coming online but for now I use 10M and 5m and run about 300 connections with no problems.
***I don't like to modify the Qos profile and limit because that requires that you shut down the radios.  I like to modify the override section on the WLAN / Qos settings. 
Good luck.

  • GUest WLAN with Anchor WLC - roaming problems

    Hello,
    my wireless network consists in 3 WLC 4402 which manage 40 APs.
    I have a fourth WLC which I installed on my DMZ for guest vlan anchoring and web autentication.
    Everiting works fine but I have a problem:
    If my client associates with an AP and then I authenticate I'm ready to make traffic. As soon as my client roams to an AP managed by a differnt WLC I need to authenticate again. If I roam back to the first AP i need to reauthenticate.
    In my guest WLAN I use WEB authentication provided by the internal web server of the Anchor WLC.
    Thnks everybody

    Here are the output of show mobility summary.

  • Guest WLAN and VLAN out of 2811 w WLC module

    Using a WLC 2006 or 4000 series, there is
    no problem getting the traffic on a "guest WLAN" connected to a wired VLAN.
    But, how to do that when one is using
    a 2811 with a WLC module?
    Now the "guest WLAN" connects internally
    to the 2811 "interface wlan-controller 1/0" as a VLAN on a subinterface. I do not want the default GW for that VLAN within the 2811. Instead I just want to get it out at layer 2. Transparent bridging between a subinterface "int wlan-controller1/0.x" and "int fastethernet0/1.x" failed. Any ideas?

  • Client unable to get IP address on guest wlan

    Hi all,  I recently setup a 2504 WLC that has two primary WLANs (internal and guest) which get their IP addresses from a central DHCP server using the local router's broadcast forwarding.  Things seem to be working well for the internal wlan, but clients on the guest wlan don't seem to be getting IP addresses.  If I give the client a static IP they are able to communicate across the wlan okay.
    It is worth noting that I am using LAG between the controller and router and this guest wlan is really just a regular wlan (with PSK) that has an access-list applied to force it to the internet only.  The access-list should be allowing dhcp requests through, but in any case, I removed the access-list and it made no difference.
    Here is a debug client for a machine connected to the guest vlan (vlan 33).  The internal wlan is on the 10.10.10.0/24 network (same as wired and same that the AP's are connected to) and the guest wlan is 10.33.0.0/16.     I don't understand why I am seeing the dhcp request come from the internal vlan/wlan first and it gets an IP address on this network.  I then see a request on the guest wlan/vlan at which point it appears to get a valid IP address on the guest network (10.33.0.0), but the client never sees this.  
    Thoughts? 
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    One way to test also is to connect a laptop to a port assigned for the guest vlan. If the device gets an IP, then it's something on the WLC you have to configure. If the device doesn't, then it's a network issue or dhcp server issue.

  • Guest WLAN need to re-authenticate for each new tab

    Hi,
    We installed recently a new WLC 2504 with 22 AP's.
    We use web authentication for the guest WLAN.
    The porblem is : users can login and authenticate but whenever the open a new webbrowser tab they need to re-authenticate again.
    And this for each new tab they open.
    Anybody knows how to solve this?

    No, the user shouldn't have to reauthenticate for every tab they open, once the clients entry is built in the MSCB they should stay in a RUN state until either the reauth timer or the user idle timer expire.
    First I'd upgrade to 7.0.220.0 and see if that resolves the issue.  If it doens't get a TAC case open.

  • Two different radius authentication methods on one guest wlan

    I would like to use two different radius servers to one guest wlan.
    One radius server is the Cisco NAC guest server, but I would like to use e.g. a RSA SecurID server as the second.
    If the user does not exsist on the NAC guest server, the wlc should check the RSA server.
    As I understand the servers mentioned under the layer 3 config tab on the wlan configuration tab is doing round-robin.
    Is there any way that I can implement this?
    Best regards,
    Steffen Lindemann

    Is there anything on the roadmap for the NAC guest server to use AD as an external database?
    It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult since the server is already using AD to map sponsor roles.
    We really would prefer to use a single SSID instead separate SSIDs for guest and domain accounts.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Using AD to authenticate BYOD users on Guest WLAN

    First off, I have several WLANs -- one is a "Guest" that is anchored to our corporate WiSMv1 running 7.0.240.0 code.  We have many 5508s running 8.0.100.0 -- the "guest" is tunneled back to the core WiSMv1.   Right now, the Guest splashes a web page that a user just has to click through to get n the Guest WLAN.  I currently have a production WLAN set up to use 802.1x and pass credentials through Win 2012R2 NPS (Radius) so that our employees can log on using their AD credentials.
    We are looking to avoid the complexity and cost of ISE.   We want to build a basic self-subscription process.  I'd like to set up a separate "test" Guest network that will splash a web page that will basically have 2 sections -- the top section will display a phone number for the user to call.  Basically the system will generate a random ID/PW which will be spoken or sent in a text message to the caller.  Behind the scene, we will load these credentials into an AD OU.   The bottom of this web page will be the fields for the user to enter the ID / PW which in turn will be validated to the AD. 
    I can't mess with the current Guest "anchored" in the corporate WiSM.   We already have a custom web page and it appears you can only have one.  So I was thinking of setting it up at one of the remote 5508 sites....  I can download a custom web page there and I believe I can still use the "management" interface to grab IPs out of the Guest Subnet that resides in our HQ.  
    My uncertainty revolves around the WLC / WLAN setup to use AD (via Radius if necessary) to validate the user -- and since it is BYOD, I have no idea what the client device will be and do not want the user to be required to do any setup.
    I have gone through a lot of docs --- many talk about ISE.  Others are really old -- and of course there is difference between WLC web pages simply due to the 8.0 code on the 5508s!
    I am hoping this is a fairly straight forward setup.  
    TIA - Perry

    Hi,
    Your starting 3 Paragraphs say that you want to modify Guest page only.But after that You talk about the BYOD.BYOD involves device registration , supplicant provisioning etc and is entirely for different use. If you think , you are asking about that , Please go through this Tech-Talk by me to understand BYOD (Video as well Brief note )along with PPT having all the required configuration on WLC side,AD side,CA server and ISE side.
    "We want to build a basic self-subscription process.  I'd like to set up a separate "test" Guest network that will splash a web page that will basically have 2 sections -- the top section will display a phone number for the user to call.  Basically the system will generate a random ID/PW which will be spoken or sent in a text message to the caller. "
    If the requirement is the above i.e display Phone number which user would call to get credentials , it can be done via simply modifying the HTML web-page to show that number and load in to the WLC or else host that page on some external server.Infact , you can modify the Internal web page of the WLC via Security>Web-authentciation and write a header and message to be displayed on the web-page which WLC displays which can have your Mobile number to call.Once credentials are submitted , WLCcan do radius authentication.
    Also 8.0 simply brings Redirection over HTTPS feature in to the WLC and there is no change in anything else i.e the concept via which web-authentciation/works.

  • Guest WLAN and Web Auth?

    Hi Guys,
    Maybe someone can help me out?
    I just finished setting up a trial "Cisco Virtual Wireless Controller" with nearly the same configuration as our Physical
    "Cisco Wireless Controller" with the exception of having 2 ports.  Anyhow, I managed to get everything working except for the WEB AUTH on the Guest WLAN.  When a client connects, he gets a DHCP address from our ASA but when we try to get to a website, we never reach the WEB AUTH page. 
    What I tried so far is..
    add a DNS Host Name to the virtual interface and assign it to our internal DNS server.dns name was resolving but we were unable to ping 1.1.1.1
    changed the virtual ip from 1.1.1.1 to 2.2.2.2 and modified the DNS entrydns name resoved but still could not ping 2.2.2.2(I think this is normal)
    changed the virtual IP to a private address of 192.168.102.1 and modified the dns entrysame result
    I've attached some screenshots of our configuration.

    Troubleshooting Web Authentication
    After you configure web authentication, if the feature does not work as expected, complete these
    troubleshooting steps:
    Check if the client gets an IP address. If not, users can uncheck
    DHCP Required
    on the WLAN and
    give the wireless client a static IP address. This assumes association with the access point. Refer to
    the
    IP addressing issues
    section of
    Troubleshooting Client Issues in the Cisco Unified Wireless
    Network for troubleshooting DHCP related issues
    1.
    On WLC versions earlier than 3.2.150.10, you must manually enter
    https://1.1.1.1/login.html
    in
    order to navigate to the web authentication window.
    The next step in the process is DNS resolution of the URL in the web browser. When a WLAN client
    connects to a WLAN configured for web authentication, the client obtains an IP address from the
    DHCP server. The user opens a web browser and enters a website address. The client then performs
    the DNS resolution to obtain the IP address of the website. Now, when the client tries to reach the
    website, the WLC intercepts the HTTP Get session of the client and redirects the user to the web
    authentication login page.
    2.
    Therefore, ensure that the client is able to perform DNS resolution for the redirection to work. On
    Windows, choose
    Start > Run
    , enter
    CMD
    in order to open a command window, and do a  nslookup
    www.cisco.com" and see if the IP address comes back.
    On Macs/Linux: open a terminal window and do a  nslookup www.cisco.com" and see if the IP
    address comes back.
    If you believe the client is not getting DNS resolution, you can either:
    Enter either the IP address of the URL (for example, http://www.cisco.com is
    http://198.133.219.25)

    Try to directly reach the controller's webauth page with
    https:///login.html. Typically this is http://1.1.1.1/login.html.

    Does entering this URL bring up the web page? If yes, it is most likely a DNS problem. It might also
    be a certificate problem. The controller, by default, uses a self−signed certificate and most web
    browsers warn against using them.
    3.
    For web authentication using customized web page, ensure that the HTML code for the customized
    web page is appropriate.
    You can download a sample Web Authentication script from Cisco Software Downloads. For
    example, for the 4400 controllers, choose
    Products > Wireless > Wireless LAN Controller >
    Standalone Controllers > Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controllers > Cisco 4404 Wireless
    LAN Controller > Software on Chassis > Wireless Lan Controller Web Authentication
    Bundle−1.0.1
    and download the
    webauth_bundle.zip
    file.
    These parameters are added to the URL when the user's Internet browser is redirected to the
    customized login page:
    4.
    ap_mac The MAC address of the access point to which the wireless user is associated.

    switch_url The URL of the controller to which the user credentials should be posted.

    redirect The URL to which the user is redirected after authentication is successful.

    statusCode The status code returned from the controller's web authentication server.

    wlan The WLAN SSID to which the wireless user is associated.

    These are the available status codes:
    Status Code 1: "You are already logged in. No further action is required on your part."

    Status Code 2: "You are not configured to authenticate against web portal. No further action
    is required on your part."

    Status Code 3: "The username specified cannot be used at this time. Perhaps the username is
    already logged into the system?"

    Status Code 4: "You have been excluded."

    Status Code 5: "The User Name and Password combination you have entered is invalid.
    Please try again."

    All the files and pictures that need to appear on the Customized web page should be bundled into a
    .tar file before uploading to the WLC. Ensure that one of the files included in the tar bundle is
    login.html. You receive this error message if you do not include the login.html file:
    Refer to the Guidelines for Customized Web Authentication section of Wireless LAN Controller Web
    Authentication Configuration Example for more information on how to create a customized web
    authentication window.
    Note:
    Files that are large and files that have long names will result in an extraction error. It is
    recommended that pictures are in .jpg format.
    5.
    Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 or later is the browser recommended for the use of web authentication.
    Other browsers may or may not work.
    6.
    Ensure that the
    Scripting
    option is not blocked on the client browser as the customized web page on
    the WLC is basically an HTML script. On IE 6.0, this is disabled by default for security purposes.
    7.
    Note:
    The Pop Up blocker needs to be disabled on the browser if you have configured any Pop Up
    messages for the user.
    Note:
    If you browse to an
    https
    site, redirection does not work. Refer to Cisco bug ID CSCar04580
    (registered customers only) for more information.
    If you have a
    host name
    configured for the
    virtual interface
    of the WLC, make sure that the DNS
    resolution is available for the host name of the virtual interface.
    Note:
    Navigate to the
    Controller > Interfaces
    menu from the WLC GUI in order to assign a
    DNS
    hostname
    to the virtual interface.
    8.
    Sometimes the firewall installed on the client computer blocks the web authentication login page.
    Disable the firewall before you try to access the login page. The firewall can be enabled again once
    the web authentication is completed.
    9.
    Topology/solution firewall can be placed between the client and web−auth server, which depends on
    the network. As for each network design/solution implemented, the end user should make sure these
    ports are allowed on the network firewall.
    Protocol
    Port
    HTTP/HTTPS Traffic
    TCP port 80/443
    CAPWAP Data/Control Traffic
    UDP port 5247/5246
    LWAPP Data/Control Traffic

    IP protocol 97
    Mobility
    UDP port 16666 (non
    secured) UDP port 16667
    (secured IPSEC tunnel)
    10.
    For web authentication to occur, the client should first associate to the appropriate WLAN on the
    WLC. Navigate to the
    Monitor > Clients
    menu on the WLC GUI in order to see if the client is
    associated to the WLC. Check if the client has a valid IP address.
    11.
    Disable the Proxy Settings on the client browser until web authentication is completed.
    12.
    The default web authentication method is PAP. Ensure that PAP authentication is allowed on the
    RADIUS server for this to work. In order to check the status of client authentication, check the
    debugs and log messages from the RADIUS server. You can use the
    debug aaa all
    command on the
    WLC to view the debugs from the RADIUS server.
    13.
    Update the hardware driver on the computer to the latest code from manufacturer's website.
    14.
    Verify settings in the supplicant (program on laptop).
    15.
    When you use the Windows Zero Config supplicant built into Windows:
    Verify user has latest patches installed.

    Run debugs on supplicant.

    16.
    On the client, turn on the EAPOL (WPA+WPA2) and RASTLS logs from a command window, Start
    > Run > CMD:
    netsh ras set tracing eapol enable
    netsh ras set tracing rastls enable
    In order to disable the logs, run the same command but replace enable with disable. For XP, all logs
    will be located in C:\Windows\tracing.
    17.
    If you still have no login web page, collect and analyze this output from a single client:
    debug client
    debug dhcp message enable
    18.
    debug aaa all enable
    debug dot1x aaa enable
    debug mobility handoff enable
    If the issue is not resolved after you complete these steps, collect these debugs and use the TAC
    Service Request Tool (registered customers only) in order to open a Service Request.
    debug pm ssh−appgw enable
    debug pm ssh−tcp enable
    debug pm rules enable
    debug emweb server enable
    debug pm ssh−engine enable packet

  • Guest configuration with WLC

    i am using WLC 4402 with firmware 5.1 and 1252 Access Point.
    i am in trouble to configure guest access with the WLC.
    i have configured interface in WLC under CONTROLLER->INTERFACES->GUEST.

    AND I GOT DYNAMIC INTERFACE WITHOUT IP ADDRESS.
    AFTER DOING THIS I CREATE WLAN NAMED GUEST AND ENABLED IT.
    i have put guest interface as a ingress interface and management as egress interface and applied web auth successfully but still it is not showing me guest SSID when i try to search it.

  • Guest Anchor N+1: Multiple guest WLANs and Mobility List

    Hi Experts,
    We are going to replace two guest anchor controllers WLC4402 sitting in different DMZs with two WLC5508 as N+1 redundant pair in one DMZ.
    I assume each guest anchor controller should support multiple guest WLANs. Is it correct?
    And between these two new anchor WLCs, do they need to add each other to Mobility List?
    Or maybe I should ask first, does it matter if they are in the same mobility group or not?
    Thanks
    Cedar

    N+1 for guest anchors isn't what N+1 was designed for.  N+1 was designed for redundancy for WLC's supporting access points, not mobility anchors.  This solution might work, but I really doubt Cisco will support this setup, but I can be wrong.... you can always talk with your local Cisco SE or open a TAC case and ask.
    Guest anchors should have a different mobility group name from the foreign WLC's.  You do need the foreign to have both guest anchors and the guest anchor to just have the foreign WLC(s).  The redundant guest anchors do not need to have each other in the mobility group list.
    Thanks,

  • Guest WLAN and IP Address Exhaustion

    Does anybody know of a way to stop a DHCP Server from doling out IP addresses (and subsequently exhausting the DHCP Scope) prior to performing L3 Web Auth to the WLC?
    The problem arises when Students come into School with their iPhones and such like with the WLAN turned on which exhausts the current Guest WLAN DHCP Scope.  Subsequently when a valid Guest User comes along they are unable to obtain an IP.
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    This is the challenge that we have with the Guest wireless access!! However, we can use WPA/WPA2-PSK along with the WEB-AUTH, SO that thew clients who provide the right PSK will only be able to grab the IP..

  • Guest WLAN and DNS tunneling (IP over DNS with iodine, NSTX, etc)

    Hello,
    I'm trying to implement guest WLAN with web authentication on the WLC 2504. L3 for guests WLAN is terminated on ASA 5510 (as subinterface).
    All works pretty fine. Guests clients are prompted to enter login/password, guests are authenticated against ACS and so on.
    But I have a strange idea. How can I prevent unauthorised DNS tunneling from the guest network?
    I think that DNS tunneling can be prevented with dns-guard on ASA and dns inspections, e.g. drop dns packets larger then 512 bytes and perform deep inspection againd packets.
    Any ideas or advices?

  • Guest Wlan multiple login with Cisco Identity Services Engine

    Dear all,
    I have been looking for some details with regards to multiple logins on Guest WLAN.
    Currently my customer is facing the following problem
    When a Guest Wlan user logs in, the same user could login again on the same time frame,
    in other words guest Wlan user can login multiple times.
    is this intentional or a bug on the ISE
    product name : L-ISE-BSE-250=
    any advice or any article related to this would really appreciate it
    thanks in advance
    Lnacellot

    Ok, Ranjane you took me back to 1900BC, had to dig the case up for you.
    to be clear this is what customer wants
    a guest user concurrently login from two devices at the same time
    What  he wants is: any given time Guest user should be only able to login  once (Ex if you login to your PC and leave it logged on, then go to a  another PC with same user you would be able to login – this need to be  limited)
    So under the User login Policy this should be able to limit to one login
    you may want to check  the concurrent session limit on the WLC: It is under  Security > AAA > User Login Policies. There is a global number,  that will limit the concurrent logins from a single user name.
    hope it was useful
    regards,

  • Configure a second Wlan on WLC 2504

    Hello,
    I  created a topic about this problem on the learningnetwork cisco site too. You can find it here: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/73201.
    The problem is:
    We have the Cisco WLC 2504 with a couple of access points. On this WLC we have a network connection via a radius server for our employees. The DHCP server for this connection is the server you see on the drawing. The connection from the switch to the WLC is connected on port 1 of the WLC. This connection works like a charm.
    Now I want to create a second network (which is divorced from our internal network) for our guests, but it doesn’t work till now. What we have at the moment is:
    A connection from the firewall via the router to the internet
    A connected cable from the firewall to the WLC on port 2
    A configured interface (port 2) on the WLC
    A configured Wlan on the WLC (it is possible to connect to the guest Wlan with a static ip)
    The SSID of the guest network is broadcasted via the AP’s which also broadcast the internal network SSID
    The problem I have now is:
    I have no connection between the WLC Port 2 (192.168.10.2) and the firewall (192.168.10.1). When I try to ping the firewall (192.168.10.1) I get a no reply received message.
    How can I get this working? I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance!

    Frank,
    The issue is that the WLC will not route between VLANs.  In order for the scenario that Rasika recommended to work, the switch needs to be a layer 3 switch or needs a layer 3 device attached to it to route between the VLANs.
    In my WLC, I have a guest interface as well:
    The gateway listed in the VLAN 50 Interface on my L3 Switch:
    I then have a route established on my switch to send that traffic to my ASA:
    Due to that, I can ping the ASA from my WLC:
    Of course, my WLAN for guests only has access to the guest Interface Group:
    Try these changes on your switch (or other Layer 3 Device) and let us know if it worked for you.
