Device-Sensor Profiling Doesn't Appear To Be Working

[loverbey]

Devices are configured with device-sensor CDP, LLDP and RADIUS:

device-sensor filter-list cdp list manual-cdp-list

tlv name device-name

tlv name address-type

tlv name capabilities-type

tlv name platform-type

device-sensor filter-list lldp list manual-lldp-list

tlv name system-name

tlv name system-description

device-sensor filter-list dhcp list manual-dhcp-list

option name host-name

option name default-ip-ttl

option name requested-address

option name parameter-request-list

option name class-identifier

option name client-identifier

device-sensor filter-spec dhcp include list manual-dhcp-list

device-sensor filter-spec lldp include list manual-lldp-list

device-sensor filter-spec cdp include list manual-cdp-list

device-sensor accounting

device-sensor notify all-changes

SNMP:

snmp trap mac-notification change added

snmp trap mac-notification change removed

snmp trap mac-notification change added

snmp trap mac-notification change removed

snmp-server host 192.168.101.169 public

I see ISE receives the CDP LLDP info, but is not profiling the endpoint correctly (under context visibility endpoint details):

cdpCacheDeviceId    APCC16.7E98.7A2C

cdpCachePlatform    cisco AIR-AP3802I-B-K9

cdpCacheVersion    Cisco AP Software, ap3g3-k9w8 Version: 8.5.110.0 Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport Copyright (c) 2014-2015 by Cisco Systems, Inc.

but in the logs and main context visibility page it is classified as a Cisco-Switch

Do you send Radius Accounting to ISE PSN?  The Device Sensor data is contained inside the Radius Accounting Cisco AVPairs. 

[loverbey]

Thank you, Arne.  I do have this configured, but oddly it isn't showing up in the running-config.  I enabled debug:

If your radius servers are not showing up in the running config then alarm bells should be ringing!  IOS can hide config defaults and that is normal, but your aaa config should always be visible.  Perhaps there is an additional command to include VSA' in the Radius accounting (I have a vague memory of this ... you have to tell IOS what all to include in the Accounting requests).

Can you share your relevant aaa IOS config?

[loverbey]

They are showing up and authen/authorization is working:

Hi

Perhaps there is a command missing in the AP config.  Sorry I don't have experience with this.

I would run a tcpdump on the ISE PSN node and look for your accounting requests from your Cisco AP.  If the AP is sending the Cisco AVPair then it should be visible in the tcpdump.  If not, then it's not an ISE issue.  I have included an example from a Cisco 5520 WLC below which has device sensor enabled.

After reviewing the complete list of attributes of the endpoints, it appears that the endpoint is not performing authentication so IOS device sensor is unlikely at work and, instead, the attributes are gathered by SNMP probe.

I've open CSCvj77125 to track the issue of CDP platform strings for the newer Cisco APs.

[hslai]

If this is a lab, please post the complete list of attributes for this endpoint. Or, you may unicast me the info and, if available, along with the profiler.log file (profiler in DEBUG).

I am guessing other attributes, such as LLDP and NMAP, making it as Cisco-Switch.
