Chapter 5 Performing Administrative Tasks

Using Discovery and Managing Devices

Overview: Discovery

You can set up regularly scheduled discoveries and run one-time discoveries.

Before the WLSE can discover devices:

•

You must configure discovery on the WLSE. See Add Seed Devices and

Schedule Discovery, page 5-10.

As an alternative to using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to run discovery,

you can import devices from a file or from CiscoWorks2000. See Importing

Devices, page 5-21.

•

Devices must be properly configured for access by the WLSE. See Set Up

Devices, page 5-4.

Community strings must be entered on the WLSE. See Specify Community

Strings, page 5-18).

Note

Routers and switches are only discovered if they have properly configured

access points attached to them.

Discovery proceeds according to the seed devices and CDP distance that you

specify. The CDP distance determines the depth of the discovery. With a CDP

distance of 1, only the immediate neighbors of the seed device are discovered.

With a CDP distance of 2, devices A and B that are directly connected to the seed

device are discovered, and the immediate neighbors of A and B are also

discovered. You should set the CDP distance so that your entire wireless network

is discovered.

After devices are discovered, you must move them to the managed state.

Unmanaged devices do not appear in WLSE displays.

Add Seed Devices and Schedule Discovery

Neighbors of seed devices are discovered by examining the contents of CDP

tables. Before discovery can proceed, you must specify at least one seed device.

Any supported device can function as a seed.

You may want to specify multiple seed devices to:

•

Shorten the discovery time.

Discover “disconnected” networks; that is, discover devices across links on

which CDP is disabled or discover devices outside the firewall.

Note

Your login determines whether you can use this option.

Procedure

Step 1

Specify Community Strings

The Wireless LAN Solution Engine uses a device’s read-only community string

for discovery and the read/write community string to configure the device. If

community strings are not entered correctly, the Wireless LAN Solution Engine

cannot communicate with the device. Both read-only and read/write community

strings are required.

The default community string is public for both the read-only string and the

read-write string. If the community strings on your devices differ from the

defaults, you must specify the community strings before the discovery process can

begin and before you can configure the devices.

Note

Step 1

Step 2

Your login determines whether you can use this option.

Procedure

Communities. The Bulk SNMP Settings dialog box appears.

This dialog box contains a default entry that covers all devices, provided device

community strings are set to the default (public).

Add new entries or modify existing entries in the text box using the following

syntax:

Community String Guidelines

Use these guidelines when adding or modifying community strings:

•

You can assign community strings to any of the following:

–

Complete IP address; for example, 172.20.4.9

Any wild cards (based on IP addresses); for example:

*.*.*.*

172.*.*.*

–

Address ranges, which can include wild cards; for example:

27.20.[4-55].*

172.[21-30].[44-88].*

172.*.*.[121-255]

•

You can add a combination of general and specific entries, but the Wireless

LAN Solution Engine reads the community strings from most specific to least

specific.

If you enter duplicate community strings for a device, the most specific

community string is used.

•

A # sign as the first character on a line indicates a comment.

All printable characters, except for colons (:), are allowed in community

strings.

•

Spaces are not allowed in community strings.

Specify the HTTP Username and Password

The HTTP username and password are required for downloading configuration

files to access points. The password must be set on each access point. For more

Overview: Groups

The Group Management window allows you to view the existing device groups

and categorize devices into named groups so that you can perform management

tasks on a group of devices as a single operation.

A group is a named entity consisting of a set of devices, a set of groups, or a

combination of devices and groups. A group can consist of both user-defined

groups and system-defined groups.

Managing Groups

There are five folders containing system-defined groups. You cannot edit or delete

a system-defined group. The system defined groups are automatically populated

using information read from the devices during discovery and inventory

collection. Any changes on devices are reflected in the system-defined groups

only after the next discovery or inventory collection has completed. The

system-defined groups and folders are:

•

Device Type folder—Contains groups for 1200 APs, 340 APs, 350 APs, 350

Bridges, Routers, and Switches.

•

Location folder—Contains groups based on the locations of the devices. To

enable creation of system-defined location groups, you must configure a

parameter on the device that identifies the device location. See Set Up

Devices, page 5-4 for information on setting location. The null location group

contains all devices that are not configured with their location information.

•

SSID folder—Contains a group for each radio service set ID (SSID)

configured on access points. For information on configuring the SSID, see Set

Up Devices, page 5-4

•

Subnet folder—Contains a group for each subnet configured in the network.

Software Version folder—Contains a group for each software version

detected on the devices.

Overview: Authentication Modules

The Wireless LAN Solution Engine provides a mechanism for authenticating

users through the local authentication module and a local database of user IDs and

passwords. Many network managers, however, already have an authentication

service. To use your own authentication service instead of the local module, you

can select one of the alternative modules:

•

TACACS+

Radius

MS NT Domain

After you select and configure a module, all authentication transactions are

performed by the authentication service associated with that module. Users log in

with the user ID and password associated with the current authentication module.

The Wireless LAN Solution Engine determines user roles; therefore, all users

must be in the local database of user IDs and passwords. A user’s role determines

the services and devices that the user can access. Users must have the same user

ID locally as they have in the alternative authentication source, but the local

password and authentication service password do not have to be same.

Users who are authenticated by an alternative service and who are not in the local

database have no roles assigned to them. Users who have no roles see only the

splash screen after logging in and cannot view screens or perform tasks.

If the alternative authentication service fails, the Wireless LAN Solution Engine

defaults to the Local authentication module. Even if the local user database fails,

you can always log in as the admin user.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What ports and protocols does the WLSE use?

A. For discovery and fault monitoring, the WLSE primarily uses SNMP (UDP

port 161). For applying configuration changes, the WLSE uses SNMP, HTTP

(TCP port 80 or as configured), and TFTP (UDP port 69).

Q. How do configuration files get transferred to access points?

A. Even though access points support both TFTP and FTP, the WLSE uses only

TFTP to upload and download configuration files.

Q. Can you undo a configuration update?

A. Yes, but only after a successful configuration update has taken place.

Q. Is Telnet enabled or disabled by default on the WLSE?

A. Telnet is disabled by default for security reasons.

Appendix B Command Reference

Using the CLI

You can use the CLI by:

•

Attaching a console to the WLSE

Accessing the WLSE using Telnet

CLI Conventions

The command-line interface (CLI) uses the following conventions:

•

The key combination ^c or Ctrl-c means hold down the Ctrl key while you

press the c key.

•

A string is defined as a nonquoted set of characters.

Do not confuse the WLSE’s CLI with the IOS CLI. Though they are similar, they

are not identical.

Command Privileges

Access to CLI commands is controlled by your user account privilege level. Users

with privilege level 15 can use all commands. Users with privilege level 0 can use

only a subset of the commands. The command descriptions in this appendix are

organized by privilege level. For more information about user accounts and

privileges, refer to Administering Users, page 5-60.

Checking Command Syntax

The user interface provides several types of responses to incorrect command

entries:

•

If you enter a command line that does not contain any valid commands, the

system displays Command not found.

If you enter a valid command but omit required options, the system displays

Incomplete command.

Command History Feature

•

If you enter a valid command but provide invalid options or parameters, the

system displays Invalid input.

In addition, some commands have command-specific error messages that notify

you that a command is valid, but that it cannot run correctly.

Command History Feature

The CLI provides a command history feature. To display previously entered

commands, press the up arrow key. After pressing the up arrow key, you can press

the down arrow key to display the commands in reverse order. To run a command,

press the Enter key while the command is displayed on the command line. You

can also edit commands before pressing the Enter key.

Help for CLI Commands

You can obtain help using the following methods:

•

For a list of all commands and their syntax, type help and press Enter.

For help on a specific command, use either of the following methods:

–

Type the command name, a space, help; then press Enter. For example,

ntp help.

–

Type help, a space, and the command name; then press Enter. For

example, help ntp.

traceroute [-f first_ttl] [-m max_ttl] [-w waittime] host [packetlength]

Syntax Description

-f

(Optional) Sets the time-to-live used in the first outgoing

probe packet.

first_ttl

-m

Time-to-live value of the first outgoing probe packet. The

default is 1 hop.

(Optional) Sets the maximum time-to-live (maximum

number of hops) used in outgoing probe packets.

max_ttl

-w

Maximum time-to-live for outgoing probe packets. The

default is 30 hops.

(Optional) Sets the time to wait for a response to a probe, in

seconds.

Usage Guidelines

Use the traceroute command to trace the network route to a specified host and

identify faulty gateways. The command displays a list of the hosts that receive

probe packets as they travel to the destination host, in the order that the receiving

hosts receive the packets. Asterisks (*) appear as the list entry for hosts that do

not respond to probing correctly.
