Changes

It has a new feature, to show “compensated” nearby power, based on the difference between the heard power, and the actual TX power (nearby is sent normally at level 1, but AP may be on a lower power. This is working for 2.4 GHz, but on 5.0 it still needs additional checks to calculate for enabled bands and current WLC country code

17-February-09 New version 1.7(0)

Features:
- New RF Summary view for AP and WLC. This give a quick view of channel and power distribution
Fixes
- Problems parsing 5.1 and 4.0 configurations

04-February-09 Version 1.6(9)

Features:
- Added new AP RF summary report
- RF Problem Finder: Added a linear relationship between channel utilization and co-channel interference. When a co-channel neighbor is added to the index, we relate its Radio utilization by the power on which the AP hears it. This can be disabled if needed
- Vocera Checks: Added two new warnings: Platinum level SSID required, and Broadcast SSID enabled
Fixes:
- Fixed 2 bugs parsing 5.2 configurations
- Fixed one spectraklink check error
- Added additional section checks on config parsing

WLC CA Command line version

Updated WLC CA command line version to 1.6(9), added 5.2 support

29-December-08 Version 1.6(6)

Fixed:
- Parsing problem on wlan section
- Parsing problem on system uptime
Changes:
- Controler info now displays model and uptime

13-December-08 version 1.6(4)

Fixed:
- Problems parsing some 5.1 configurations (delimiter not found)
- Exception due to incorrect double conversion in some PCs
- Comparison error on symmetric mobility check
- Fixed cosmetic error on message 40019
- Fixed incorrect parsing of last WLAN, if a guest WLAN was present
Added new checks:
- 60014, RF: AP has channel utilization for X GHz radio higher than a threshold of YY. This reports if either TX + RX utilization or total radio utilization (CCA) is higher than a configured threshold. Default is 40%
- 50019, Mobility: For RF adjacent controllers, it is necessary that the country selection list match, to permit proper RF grouping. This validates that all controllers in the same mobility group, have the same country list. This is only relevant if they are RF adjacent. (i.e., Their APs are neighbors with signal better than -80 dBm)
- 40042,Voice: Mac filtering in voice WLANs is not recommended due to potential delays on association process/roaming". For WLANs with voice services, mac filtering can introduce delays on roaming, as association/reassociation requests need to be validated against AAA before they are finally answered.
- Checks if mac filtering has same status in each WLAN, across all controllers in the same mobility group
Added Features:
- RF problem finder has additional metrics to play with specific weights, making it easier to find specific issues on groups of APs
- WLAN table shows MAC filtering column
- Parses 5.2 config files (no new checks added specifically for this version yet)

- Added several new sections, more than 20 new parameters now loaded. This allow room for future new check logics
GUI:
- Shows Tacacs and Radius server tables in Controller Tree
Checks:
- Removed the check for "controller reference itself as local", as this behaviour has changed in controller
Reports:
- Now controller report has a CSV list of features enabled on controller. Supporting now 4.1, 4.2, 5.0 and 5.1 feature lists
Command line version: (not uploaded to forum yet)
- New CLI tool version available (ideal for use in Linux). Supports processing a full directory of files with .txt extension
- Unicast me for details on how to load/test

Apr 30 2008 (1.4(9))

New features:
- RF Index

This allows "quick spot" of problematic APs. The tool will calculate co-channel, side channel interference and noise, also channel utilization and client association SNR, and generate a metric for each AP. APs on top having a too high metric, may point to potential RF issues, which may lead to voice quality problems. The idea of this is to quickly find areas in the deployment that may need immediate attention. Also can work as a "RF health" indicator after changes, comparing the values of different sh run-config taken. All values on the metric can be modified, to allow for the user to make more emphasis on side channels, or on co-channel ,etc. This is an experimental module, so comments are needed :-). Available under RF Analysis menu

New AP checks
- - 20015 AP: SSH is enabled on this access point. Depending on security policies this may or not be correct
  - 20016 AP: Telnet is enabled on this access point. Depending on security policies this may or not be correct
  - 20017 AP: Syslog messages are sent to broadcast address, if there are errors reported by many APs, and there are too many APs per vlan, this can cause broadcast storms. It is better to configure to individual server
  - 20018 AP: Local credentials to access access point CLI are not configured. It is recommended to configure to Username/passwords to all APs
Changed AP check:
    Now side channel check reports current channel and nearby AP channel plus the power:
    60013,RF: AP on channel 153 has a neighbour on a side channel for 5 GHz radio, channel: 157 with power -71, Mac: 00:1d:46:fc:95:c0. Effect depends

on RF conditions

Fixes

239.0.0.0-239.255.255.255, not including for 239.0.0.x and 239.128.0.x.

General: Current selected multicast address (x.x.x.x), can generate a flood, as it overlaps with local mac address.

It is strongly recommended to use one on the range of 239.0.0.0-239.255.255.255, not including for

239.0.0.x and 239.128.0.x.

         General:
               Warning if both WPA and WPA2 are enabled, as this may cause problems with old drivers, some PDAs
               General: Multicast address is same as mDNS (224.0.0.251), this may cause problems with Apple Bonjour, iTunes

Hi Javier,

I can't find the little tool WLC Config Catcher to help me capture the configs. The Config Analyzer seems like a very good tool, but it's very time-consuming to capture the configs with ssh if you have a lot of APs.

Hi

I stopped the config catcher development as using a WCS, with a command line template, can provide similar functionality.

Also, on any newer code build (4.2.207.0/6.0/7.0) you can do "config paging disable" then a sh run, and you can collect all run config output without any key press.

Javier,

In the output under AP Messages and for a warning 60011, RF: AP has a neighbour on same channel...with power -XX, does this reflect the Heard Power or Compensated Heard Power values?

Thanks for creating this fantastic utility!

Anthony
