RF Profiles •  Per AP control of data rates TIP: Don’t disable MCS 0-15 if you are running 20MHz wide channels. Otherwise you will run into problems with OSX’s 64bit radio drivers.
RF Profiles •  Tune RRM TIP: Great for dealing with challenging RF environments, or trying to make the most out of older deployments that are co-located with newer high density designs.

Bonjour •  Apple service discovery protocol •  mDNS packets advertise and discover services clients •  Does not cross subnets or VLANs. Result: Clients can’t see services on other subnets The Protocol Problem…
CAPWAP Tunnel Apple TV 224.0.0.251 Bonjour is Link-Local Multicast and can’t be Routed 224.0.0.251 VLAN X VLAN X VLAN Y •  Bonjour is link local multicast and thus forwarded on Local L2 domain •  AirPlay (Apple TV) and AirPrint supported only on a single VLAN •  mDNS operates at UDP port 5353 and sent to the reserved group addresses: IPv4 Group Address – 224.0.0.251 IPv6 Group Address – FF02::FB Deployment Challenges
Bonjour GW on WLC •  Step 1 – Listen for Bonjour Services CAPWAP Tunnel AirPrint Apple TV VLAN 23 Bonjour Advertisement VLAN 20 VLAN 99 iPad AirPlay Offered AirPrint Offered Bonjour Advertisement •  In 7.4 Bonjour Services with mDNS gateway on the controller don’t require multicast services to be enabled.
Bonjour GW on WLC •  Step 2 – Bonjour Services cached on Controller CAPWAP Tunnel AirPrint Apple TV VLAN 23 VLAN 20 VLAN 99 iPad AirPlay Offered AirPrint Offered Bonjour Cache: AirPlay – VLAN 20 AirPrint – VLAN 23 With deployment of mDNS gateway Bonjour Services don’t flood subnet with mDNS advertisements
Bonjour GW on WLC •  Step 3 – Listen for Client Service Queries for Services CAPWAP Tunnel AirPrint Apple TV VLAN 23 VLAN 20 VLAN 99 iPad Bonjour Cache: AirPlay – VLAN 20 AirPrint – VLAN 23 Is AirPlay Offered? Bonjour Query WLC will snoop all Bonjour discovery packets and will not forward the same on AIR or Infra network
Bonjour GW on WLC •  Step 4 – Respond to Client Queries for Bonjour Services CAPWAP Tunnel AirPrint Apple TV VLAN 23 VLAN 20 VLAN 99 iPad Bonjour Cache: AirPlay – VLAN 20 AirPrint – VLAN 23 Bonjour Response From Controller Only Clients that require Bonjour services will receive those services
Bonjour Services Directory Policy Capabilities The Bonjour Policy Profile is a list of allowed network applications. (i.e. AirPlay or Printing) Per WLAN Per VLAN (AP Group) Per Interface Group Enforced via Multiple Methods AirPrint AirPlay File Share Service Policy The Bonjour service profile provides filtering to allow only certain WLANs, Interfaces or Interface Groups to access specific service types.

How do we handle CAS licenses? How does the conversion from endpoint CAS licenses to access point licenses work? A. •  Upgrade to the 7.4 release. Existing CAS licenses will be automatically converted to Location Services (not Advanced Location Services) licenses based on the ratio of 50 endpoints to one access point. For example, 50 CAS licenses will translate to one access point Location Services license. If the number of deployed access points is higher than the number of access point Location licenses, you will receive free conversion licenses for any remaining access points until the end of July 2013. Based on the scaling guidance, you may need to purchase additional MSE physical or virtual appliances.

What code version should I be running? •  The answer is that it all depends… It’s been a wild ride over the last year with TONS of new features in code. Not everyone needs to run the latest greatest code If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it J •  That being said… Most of the university customers I work with are running 7.3_esc (means TAC escalation image) Most are awaiting the first maintenance release of 7.4 The 7.4_MR1 is due out within a month (Yes there is a BETA of the MR out now) This show was brought to you by that BETA release J
Stats from THIS show… 33 APs •  243 Clients •  Public 2.4 103 Clients •  Public 5 78 Clients
Stats from THIS show… •  By 10am 1.8GB down •  53% HTTP •  21% SSL •  Etc…
Stats from THIS show…
What’s all the FUS about? •  Field Upgradeable Software Important low-level software upgrades to the controllers hardware (FPGA, etc) Pay attention to release notes as to requirements for FUS. Not often is FUS needed, but as was the case with 7.4, if no FUS was applied AVC would not work on some platforms (such as 2504).

  • 38. © 2012 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Connect 38 MSE 7.4 Licensing Changes Q. •  I have a CAS license and would like to upgrade to software release 7.4. or later. How do we handle CAS licenses? How does the conversion from endpoint CAS licenses to access point licenses work? A. •  Upgrade to the 7.4 release. Existing CAS licenses will be automatically converted to Location Services (not Advanced Location Services) licenses based on the ratio of 50 endpoints to one access point. For example, 50 CAS licenses will translate to one access point Location Services license. If the number of deployed access points is higher than the number of access point Location licenses, you will receive free conversion licenses for any remaining access points until the end of July 2013. Based on the scaling guidance, you may need to purchase additional MSE physical or virtual appliances.

  • 41. What code version should I be running? •  The answer is that it all depends… It’s been a wild ride over the last year with TONS of new features in code. Not everyone needs to run the latest greatest code If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it J •  That being said… Most of the university customers I work with are running 7.3_esc (means TAC escalation image) Most are awaiting the first maintenance release of 7.4 The 7.4_MR1 is due out within a month (Yes there is a BETA of the MR out now) This show was brought to you by that BETA release J

  • 45. What’s all the FUS about? •  Field Upgradeable Software Important low-level software upgrades to the controllers hardware (FPGA, etc) Pay attention to release notes as to requirements for FUS. Not often is FUS needed, but as was the case with 7.4, if no FUS was applied AVC would not work on some platforms (such as 2504).
