WCS BYOD

[blbeemer]

We are using cisco controllers and cws 7.0. We are starting to have a guest network that will use passthough to show an acceptable use page. What I was wondering if ip address and mac address get logged anywhere. Like I want to go back to last wednesday and I know the ip address and want the mac address so I can disable that mac address if I needed to. any ideas on where I would start?

[Stephen Rodriguez]

Currently the WLC and WCS do not track this information.  ISE/ACS would allow you to at least get the mac address.  You might also be able to do this by configuring syslog, and parsing it for the WLAN.

HTH,
Steve

I don't know if WCS keeps history, but usually with MSE you can track users and their history. The WLC does keep track, but I don't know for how long before it get truncated.

Thanks,

Yes, WCS can hold some information (like MAC addresses) of clients even though they are NO LONGER connected.

For disabling a particular MAC address, you have two methods, they are:

1.  You can do it on a per-WLC basis via GUI; or

2.  You can push it across all your WLC via WCS CLI via a CLI template.

The CLI command goes like this:  config exclusionlist add AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF "Comment ".

Hope this helps.

You can run guest user reports or client session reports to see that information.

Then use a template ("manually disabled clients") to disable the client on Multiple WLC's.
