Cisco AssureWave Wireless LAN Controller
Release 6.0.202.0 Test Results
Version History
Version number 1.0 1.1 Date May 4, 2011 May 10, 2011 Notes Initial Release Minor updates in client information
Executive Summary
AssureWave is a Cisco initiative that provides Wireless LAN service providers with their Cisco software version of choice. The AssureWave program collects topology, application, and client information from various sources such as Sales Engineers, TAC and directly from customers to build test networks that simulate particular vertical environments. These test networks run additional scenarios based on this vertical information to better cover various interoperability matrices. The vertical test beds are built upon existing horizontal technologies such as Mobility, Voice, and Routing/Switching. In addition, existing Best Practices and Deployment Guides from the different technologies are referenced and deployed in the networks. This release tested the HealthCare, Retail, Enterprise and Higher Education vertical market scenarios. The AssureWave program also proactively enlists additional testing from 3rd party partners in addition to any existing Cisco partnerships. This comprehensive testing of client and application interoperability results in a smoother introduction of a complete end-to-end wireless ecosystem. This document summarizes what was tested for each market segment; in which specific combinations of devices and features were tested; a test summary and recommendation; and relevant open caveats.

AssureWave Test Summary and Recommendation

Test Summary The AssureWave certification for this release is Pass.
Please refer to the 6.0.202.0 Release Notes for additional information pertaining to this release. Carefully review the Open Caveats list below to make a determination if any of these issues may affect your installation We summarize our testing results into three categories: PassThe underlying assumption for certifying and publishing a Cisco AssureWave release is that testing passed because all individual tests passed. Failure of any test has to be properly resolved or closed, or the Cisco AssureWave engineering team must determine that the defect that caused failure will not affect network performance. FailIf a given test fails and the effect on Ciscos customer base is deemed broad enough, the entire release fails. Failed releases are neither certified nor documented. If a test fails and the effect on the customer base is determined to be minor, the release may still be certified, with Distributed Defect Tracking System entries noted so that customers can review the testing to see if they are affected. Pass with ExceptionThis indicates that the open caveats listed here may cause issues in your network so ensure that you review this list and the entire open caveat list from the 6.0.202.0 release notes. Note also that there may be additional open caveats created since the release of this document.
Open Caveats
This release contains the following significant open caveats: CSCtb78072 SNMPv3 communication breaks with NAC Appliance CAM Symptom: Wireless clients are not moving into the access state even when the NAC agent on the client passed posture validation. This issue originates because of the following: 1. The controller reboots in between 2. The CAM is using an old SNMPv3 session to communicate (send Traps) with the controller Above are Quarantine to access traps that are dropped by the controller due to a mismatch in their SNMP session (CAM - old , WLC- new after reboot). Conditions: SNMPv3 is used for traps originating from the NAC appliance CAM to WLC. Workaround: On the CAM, change SNMPv3 to SNMPv2 and immediately change it back to SNMPv3. The existing SNMPv3 connections will be reset and reinitiated. CSCtj97821 The WLC does not use a consistent MAC address for forwarding traffic Symptom: Src MAC address for WLC packets may be inconsistent. Conditions: When LAG is enabled on the WLC, src MAC address of WLC packets may not be LAG MAC but port MAC. Workaround: None. CSCtn44422 LAP detects an AES-CCMP replay error after WGB-AP 802.1x authentication
Page 26 of 27
Symptom: LAP detects an AES-CCMP replay error after WGB-AP 802.1X authentication. The issue continues until the next WGB-AP 802.1X authentication. During this issue, WGB-AP and all WGB wired clients cannot communicate with the network. Conditions: WLC 6.0.199.4 WGB 12.4(21a)JY, 12.4(25d)JA Workaround: Use WPA-TKIP instead of WPA2-AES. CSCti83804 Slow Memory leak in emWeb Symptom: This is a very rare condition. Slow memory leak occurred in emweb task when a client page is visited when there are no clients. Conditions: This problem occurs when a user navigates to WLC GUN's Monitor > Client page and there are no clients to be shown. Error message is shown. If this screen is accessed multiple times when there are no clients, there is a small leak. Workaround: It is not expected that real deployments will have scenarios where there are no clients. It can be seen that there are no clients, in that case, the user should not navigate to this page. CSCtj45508 Controller mobility control and data path shows as "down" Symptom: Mobility does not work with clients. Conditions: The mobility path between the wireless LAN controller in the mobility setup is going down (both control and data). It is found internally in scale testing in 72 wireless LAN controllers and 5000 clients, but this problem is not consistently reproducible. Workaround: None as of now, rebooting is the only option. CSCtj05569 WLC is not releasing the BIND for the 1st LDAP, next user fail auth Symptom: 1. User1 authenticating, wlc binds with configured username wlc admin, search for user1, user1 found in the tree, wlc binds with user1 to test password and user1 gets authenticated. 2. User2 authenticating, wlc does not bind with wlcadmin, rather keeps the bind of user1 and search for user2 with user1 bind. search doesn't find user2 since user1 doesn't have search priv and authentication for user2 fails. 3. The WLC is keeping the bind for the previous user and it is not releasing it. Conditions: If the READ permission is not given to the users to search for the other users in the LDAP account. Workaround: When READ permission is provided to the User to search for other user on the LDAP account, it does work. PS: This fix is provided only for J-MR1 release. This will not be fixed in H-MR as this is a new change and the earlier day-1 behavior no customer reported this issue. Also, this was discussed with escalation team not to fix this in H-MR4. CSCto76749 WLC memory leak and lead to no L3 IP connectivity Symptom: WLC lost L3 IP connection after around 10 days Conditions: Continuous AP join failures Workaround: Remove failing APs CSCto93293 WLAN not pushed when AP joins to a WLC
Symptom: AP not advertising WLAN even though its connected to WLC and WLAN is enabled in WLC Conditions: All controllers. When an AP joins to a WLC, occasionally the WLC does not push the WLAN configuration to the AP

Workaround: Either Toggle the wlan (Disable & enable) or Reboot AP
