WLAN APs send syslog broadcasts in controller mode

Hi,
in a test environment we use several 1131 wlan aps in controller mode with software version 4.2.176.0.
With wireshark running on a client pc in the same subnet as the wlan aps reside I saw that the wlan aps are sending syslog messages to the broadcast address 255.255.255.255 like "AP:<mac-address> %LWAPP-3-CLIENTERRORLOG: Decode Msg: could not match WLAN ID 5".
Does anybody know if this is expected behaviour and how I can correctly configure syslog on the aps in controller mode?
Many thanks in advance,
Thorsten Steffen

Hi,
Yes, the AP broadcasting syslogs is an expected behavior. It helps in troubleshooting AP join issues. If you don't want the AP broadcasting the messages you can either configure the AP's to send them as unicasts or disable the syslogging by defining a destination address of 0.0.0.0.
You would use the "config ap syslog host..." command on the controller to configure this. Obviously this command only works for the AP's after they have already joined the controller.

  • How to failover APs from local to remote controller (Local/Hreap mode) query

    Hi,
    I have a situation where my office has a local WLC and 15 3500 series APs connected to it on local mode.
    For redundancy we have a WLC in the Datacenter somewhere, accessible via MPLS cloud.
    I would like the APs to be in local mode when they are managed by the local WLC, but, when the local WLC fails... and the APs shift over to the remote WLC, their mode should change to Flex Connect... so that I can have local switching, also it helps as the users will get IP from the local addresses pool.
    Can this be achieved?
    I am running 7.2.110 code on the 5508s.

    Ah, I imagined.
    For teh sake of arguement - suppose there are users on wireless net with DHCP mac bound IPs. Some of these users might have  some special previleges via FWs and such. Now, if local  WLC fails and  they start getting IP from a remote controller's network  (non-HREAP). This would be an issue.
    However, it can be easily  solved if the APs are always in Flex mode. If they are attached to the  local WLC - no problem. If they go and attach to remote WLC - no  problem!

  • Is there example code for using Ni488 and PCI-GPIB card in non controller mode?

    Is there example code for using Ni488 and PCI-GPIB card in non controller mode?

    cymrieg,
    Your code looks good to me. What is the problem? What happens when it fails? What is the IBSTA value on the controller, and at what point in the code does it stop? What is the IBSTA value on the slave, and at what point does it stop?
    One thing is that you might not want to call IBCLR() in a loop on the device. At the beginning of the program is fine...This will send a clear command to the device and will clear out any LACS and TACS bits that might be set. Also your IBDEV call shouldn't be in a loop.
    Hope this helps, but let me know if you need more information.

  • Syslog broadcast messages dumping on Terminal

    I have a mini-Linux router that is sending syslog messages to my server. Problem is, it sends a "broadcast message" that pops up in Terminal. Here is what it writes:
    Broadcast Message from [email protected]
    (no tty) at 21:24 MDT...
    Aug 12 21:24:32 192.168.19.1 kernel: trigger_target: type = dnat
    Broadcast Message from [email protected]
    (no tty) at 21:24 MDT...
    Aug 12 21:24:38 192.168.19.1 kernel: trigger_target: type = dnat
    Broadcast Message from [email protected]
    (no tty) at 21:24 MDT...
    Aug 12 21:24:46 192.168.19.1 kernel: trigger_target: type = dnat
    Broadcast Message from [email protected]
    (no tty) at 21:24 MDT...
    Aug 12 21:24:46 192.168.19.1 kernel: trigger_target: type = in
    192.168.19.1 is the router and root@cube is the server. Anyone know what is causing this? Console.log is apparently the target of these messages but it sure makes it tough to use Terminal.

    The problem is that the router is sending messages with the kernel priority. These are usually critical level events that you want to know about.
    I'd first look to change the router's log level so that it only reports events that are relevant.
    Failing that you can tell the OS to route kern messages elsewhere but then any kernel messages from your system would be lost.
    If you want to take the latter route you need to edit /etc/syslog.conf
    The line that's causing you problems is:
    \.err;kern.;auth.notice;authpriv,remoteauth,install.none;mail.crit /dev/console
    which tells syslog to route all kern.* messages to the console. Either remove the kern.* entry altogether, or create a new line for kern.* with a different destination (e.g. /var/log/system.log).

    AHCI/IDE is not an issue in this, Windows7 supports both.
    The shutdown must have some other reason.
    Vista was working beautifully on this machine. It has to be some driver /BIOS issue. Can however someone send me the modified BIOS, just to make sure. I would be very thankful.
    Also, might be I need to preload some drivers for Windows7 to be able to finish smoothly? If so - were I can get the chipset drivers for Win7/Vista?
    I still assume that as the original poster disappeared after he got the modified BIOS, his problem was solved with that.
    Would be very thankful for any help.

  • Send Syslog messages to multiple SYSLOG servers

    Hi,
    We are have two syslog servers defined, however we notice that the ACS only sends the syslogs to one server and will only send to the other in a failure scenario, which is a standard operation across all platforms. However we have a requirement for the ACS to send syslogs to both servers simultaneously, is there a configuration option for this?
    Many Thanks
    Leon Noble

    You can do the following:
    1) Create a remote log target for your syslog server at
    System Administration >
    Configuration >
    Log Configuration >
    Remote Log Targets
    2) Configure the log categories that should be enabled to eb sent to this log target.
    Go to
    System Administration >
    Configuration >
    Log Configuration >
    Logging Categories >
    GlobalSelect a specifc category and then look at "Remote Syslog Target" tab.
    For each category that you want sent to your syslog server select the remote log target in the "
    Selected Targets" transfer box
    Note that this configuration is hierarchical. So if make configuration for one log category it applies to all subtemding categories. For example if configure
    "AAA Audit" then the configuration will apply to the pass and failed attempts categories

  • APs continually registering with secondary controller

    Hi All,
    For some reason all of the APs on a particular controller deregister from it and register with their secondary controller. Both controllers are running version 4.1.171.0 and I cannot see any issues on the LAN that would disrupt comms between the APs and their primary controller.
    Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Scott

    Hi Eric,
    I haven't tried either of those but I will do as soon as.
    I'm using names for the first and second controllers (I'm haven't spec'd a third due to the controllers being geographically distant).
    These particular APs had been quite stable until I upgraded the controllers to said s/w version around a month ago, though APs on other upgraded controllers are fine. Also no matter where the APs are registered to they report (via WCS) that they are running vers 3.2.195.10 s/w, however interrogating the relevant controller directly says they are running vers 4.1.171.0.
    I was also in the midst of adding some new APs; these were autonomous ones that I converted (at my desk) and specified the suspect controller for them to register with during the conversion, the new APs registered ok with the controller and I set the same controller as their primary and set them aside for installation. After your reply to my initial query I've booted one of the newly converted ones again and they have registered with a random controller elsewhere on our network (I'm using option 43) rather than their primary.
    Apologies for the info overload, hopefully you can make some sense out of it.
    Many Thanks

  • N5k and FI sending syslog

    Hi, I would like to know the behaviuor of N5ks and FIs when they are sending syslog messages to multiple remote syslog servers. Do they send it only to the 1st in the list OR to all of them at the same time.
    If I do "show logging server" on the n5k, it shows me 3 BUT as i do not have access o those servers, I cannot verify this.

    Hello,
    If you have configured three syslog servers, FI would send logs to all of them.
    If you want to verify it and do not have access to syslog servers, then one way to verify whether we send the messages or not is to turn on the debugs.
    connect nxos
    debug logging
    show debug logfile syslogd_debugs  <<<<---- view the debugs
    un all <<<---- turn off the debug
    You can do the same on N5K and verify it's functionality.

  • EEM and sending syslog trap

    When using EEM applet or even EEM Script I have noticed a behavior, when sending syslog message like this
    action 30.1 syslog priority notifications msg "Usmerjevalnik $_info_routername: 1G LINK 2 UP (sla id = $sla_id) !!!"
    message does not appear in switch buffer and is not sent to syslog server, except when using global logging level "debugging" like:
    logging buffered 1024000 debugging
    logging trap debugging
    Is this normal behavior?
    I'm using C6513/SUP720/ios 151-2.SY2 or 122-33.SXJ6
    Regards,
    Branko

    Hi Branko,
    AFAIk, this is an expected behaviuor  , you need to have "logging trap debugging " command enabled to get the syslog traps.
    Thanks-

  • Cannot send syslog to server from a RV082

    Good day everyone,
    I'm having an issue with the syslog.
    My configuration is:
    LAN A (RV042)<-> GW to GW tunnel <-> (RV082) LAN B
    On LAN A, I got a NAS with a syslog server.
    On the RV042, I've set the parameters for the syslog server, and it's working fine.
    On the RV082, I've set the same parameters and noting is happening.
    As troubleshooting, I've done the following:
    -On the RV082, I can ping the NAS without problems.
    -On the RV082, I've set my computer IP adress as syslog server IP and with packet analyser, I not seing any UDP packets.
    Any Ideas?
    Regards.

    Mainly, my configuration is simple
    at home
    I have an RV042, and on the lan side, I have a NAS with SYSLOG server. The RV042 is sending syslog on the nas without problems. (10.10.20.0 /255.255.255.0)
    On a Isolated Island, I got an RV082 with differents devices connected on the lan side. (10.10.10.0 /255.255.255.0)
    I set an Gateway to Gateway link between the 2 routers and it's working fine.
    From my home lan (10.10.20.0) I can get access to the router and the devices on the 'remote' lan without any problems.
    But on the 'remote' router RV082 I set to send the syslog to the SYSLOG server, it's not sending anything. But when I ping the NAS (Who's having the SYSLOG server) I got no packet lost.
    I've done a soft restart of the router, and also I tried to set as syslog IP on the RV082 my computer IP connected to the same lan as the NAS and monitoring incomiing UDP packets, I saw nothing.
    My impression is someting is stuck in the router RV082 that prevent that service working.
    The only issue is that router is in an isolated island and no one can come on site in case of an issue (if it"s not restating) exept from helicopter at XXK€ cost because see is frozen... So I have to be very carefull on what I'm doing..
    Regards.

  • Can you send a broadcast text msg to several people at one time

    How do you send a broadcast text message to several people at one time?

    As already provided, this is not supported with the iPhone's SMS client at the present time but as a workaround, you can do the same via email - SMS is just very limited email sending/receiving anyway.
    This requires knowing the recipient's cell phone provider and the provider's email domain and entering this as an email address for a contact.
    Here are some common domains.
    Alltel = [email protected]
    AT&T = [email protected]
    Boost Mobile = [email protected]
    Cingular (AT&T) = [email protected]
    Einstein PCS = [email protected]
    Sprint = [email protected]
    T-Mobile = [email protected]
    US Cellular = [email protected]
    Verizon Wireless = [email protected]
    Virgin Mobile = [email protected]
    With the x's representing the recipient's cell phone number beginning with the area code. You can also use the same for MMS - sending a photo via the iPhone's email client which is received by the recipient as an MMS on their iPhone.

  • Ability to send syslog events to multiple syslog servers - SA540

    Please add the ability to send syslog events to multiple syslog servers in the SA500 Series routers.  I know the functionality is currently in the RV220W because we utilized it.  It would be great if you could configure the syslog servers by event type as well.  For example, being able to send the kernel events to syslog server A, and all other events to syslog server B.

    You can do the following:
    1) Create a remote log target for your syslog server at
    System Administration >
    Configuration >
    Log Configuration >
    Remote Log Targets
    2) Configure the log categories that should be enabled to eb sent to this log target.

  • Cisco ASA won't send Syslog out management interface

    I have been trying to get my ASA to send syslog out of the management interface without any luck. When I do a packet tracer it says that the global implicit deny rule is blocking it, but I tried to add a permit all in front of it and it still blocks it. Everything is configured correctly from what I can tell and the static routes and routing are correct. This has me baffled. Does anyone know what might be causing this or what I should look at in the config to get this working?

    Hi Mark,
          Talking of packet tracer, it would give you correct output for a through the box traffic, not for to the box or from the box traffic.
    So firstly we have two questions:
    1) Is this a through the box traffic, then you need to permit the traffic through ACL(if from lower sec level to higher) and add a NAT statement(depending on the ASA IOS Version you are using anything above 8.2.5 wont require a NAT).
    2) If this is a syslog from the firewall scenario, then you need to make sure to get the following logging configuration on ASA
    -enable logging
    -logging host management X.X.X.X --------(X.X.X.X is the ip of the syslog server)
    -logging trap debugging ----------(debugging is the level, you could use any other too, but to check would sugest this one)
    -Further if you have already sorted out till here, get us the following outputs:
    -show run
    -show logging
    -show logging queue
    Hope it helps
    Cheers,
    Naveen

  • Programs try to send ARP broadcast to 32.2.192.88

    Hi,
    I have a new Lenovo T400, Windows Vista operating system with all usual Lenovo/IBM-programs installed. The only program installed further is Norton Internet Security 2008.
    My problem is, that my computer tries to send ARP-broadcasts to 32.2.192.88 and I dont know why. It starts even with no Ethernet-Connection (so no virus possible). That wouldnt be so bad, but I am in a very strikt network in which I get locked down, when my computer does this.
    I also tried to track the broadcast with my firewall. Unfortunetly it thinks, that the broadcasts is started by any program with tries to connect to the internet, so I cant figure out wich program it really is. Locking down all System-Services on startup didnt solve the problem.
    I guess, that this problem has something to do with installed Lenovo-Software, because I am the only Vista-User in my Network with this problem and Norton Internet Security 2008 worked fine on my old notebook.
    I hope somebody here has any idea.

    Are your clients pointed at an internal DNS server, or your ISPs ?
    If it's not a DNS server within your LAN (192.168.0.0/24), or (for example) you point them at your router which itself is using your ISPs DNS servers, this will be seen as a disallowed relay attempt.
    On one of your clients, fire up the Terminal (Applications/Utilities) and type in:
    dig youontheweb.net
    What IP comes back for the answer ?
    As for Jeff's suggestion, please note:
    whatmask 192.168.0.0/24
    TCP/IP NETWORK INFORMATION
    IP Entered = ..................: 192.168.0.0
    CIDR = ........................: /24
    Netmask = .....................: 255.255.255.0
    Wildcard Bits = ...............: 0.0.0.255
    Network Address = .............: 192.168.0.0
    Broadcast Address = ...........: 192.168.0.255
    Usable IP Addresses = .........: 254
    First Usable IP Address = .....: 192.168.0.1
    Last Usable IP Address = ......: 192.168.0.254
    whatmask 192.168.0.0/32
    TCP/IP NETWORK INFORMATION
    IP Entered = ..................: 192.168.0.0
    CIDR = ........................: /32
    Netmask = .....................: 255.255.255.255
    Wildcard Bits = ...............: 0.0.0.0
    Network Address = .............: 192.168.0.0
    Broadcast Address = ...........: 192.168.0.0
    Usable IP Addresses = .........: 0
    First Usable IP Address = .....: <none>
    Last Usable IP Address = ......: <none>
    It was necessary to change your subnetting/netmask from /32 to /24 as you can see. With a CIDR setting of 24 (subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) the available IP range is 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255.
