A lot of *Dot1x_NW_MsgTask_5: garbage in debug client output

[pannick]

Hey Gang,
  Hope that everyone is well out there.

We are running in to a lot of garbage when doing debugs from our 8540 WLC. Let's start by saying that we are an environment that uses the Eduroam wireless system. Our radius severs for the eduraom WLAN are remote (not ours). In our for RADIUS to authenticate we have to have the RADIUS Server Overwrite interface ENABLED on the WLAN security settings. This appears to throw a lot of extra garbage information in any client debugs that we run. If we disable that setting users cannot authenticate to eduroam and we break the WLAN.

Has anyone ran in this and is there command that we can use to exclude all of this from our debug output?

Hi

 You could change the syslog level on the WLC but I dont recommend as you may not see other messages that could help you while troubleshooting problem.

It's a well known problem and there's nothing you can do about it.  AireOS is almost end of life so Cisco will not be fixing it (considered to be a cosmetic issue).

Rather run the output through https://cway.cisco.com/wireless-debug-analyzer/ which will clean it up and present meaningful descriptions for you.

Turns out it is the RADIUS Server Overwrite interface option under the AAA tab in the WLAN security settings.
