Release Notes for Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers and Lightweight Access Points for Release 5.0.148.0
OL-31336-01
New Features
–
Rule-based classification—Controller software release 5.0.148.0 improves the classification
and reporting of rogue access points through the use of rogue states and user-defined
classification rules that enable rogues to automatically move between states. In previous
releases, the controller listed all rogue access points on one page sorted by MAC address or
BSSID. Now you can create rules that enable the controller to organize and display rogue access
points as Friendly, Malicious, or Unclassified.

•
Sending syslog events to multiple servers—In controller software release 5.0.148.0, you can
enable the controller to log system events to up to three remote syslog servers. The controller sends
a copy of each syslog message as it is logged to each syslog server configured on the controller.
Being able to send the syslog messages to multiple servers ensures that the messages are not lost due
to the temporary unavailability of one syslog server.

•
Splash page web redirect—This feature redirects a user to a particular web page after 802.1X
authentication has completed successfully. After the redirect, the user has full access to the network.
You can specify the redirect page on your RADIUS server. This feature is available only for WLANs
that are configured for 802.1X or WPA+WPA2 Layer 2 security.

•
Telnet and SSH support—The controller supports the use of Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH)
protocols to troubleshoot lightweight access points. Using these protocols makes debugging easier,
especially when the access point is unable to connect to the controller. You can configure Telnet and
SSH support only through the controller CLI.

•
Wireshark sniffer support—The controller enables you to configure an access point as a network
“sniffer,” which captures and forwards all the packets on a particular channel to a remote machine
that runs packet analyzer software. These packets contain information on timestamp, signal strength,
packet size, and so on. Sniffers allow you to monitor and record network activity and to detect
problems. In previous controller software releases, only the following packet analyzers are
supported: Wildpackets Omnipeek and Airopeek and the AirMagnet Enterprise Analyzer. In
controller software release 5.0.148.0, the Wireshark packet analyzer is also supported.

New Guest Access Features
•
Customized web authentication pages—In controller software release 5.0.148.0, you can
configure the controller to display customized login, login failure, and logout web authentication
pages per WLAN or guest LAN. In previous controller software releases, you can configure only
customized web login pages.

authentication using LDAP.

New Location Features
•
Location Optimized Monitor Mode (LOMM)—To optimize the monitoring and location
calculation of RFID tags, you can enable LOMM on up to four channels within the 2.4-GHz band
of an 802.11b/g access point radio. This feature allows you to scan only the channels on which tags
are usually programmed to operate (such as channels 1, 6, and 11).

•
Location presence (S69)—This feature enables a location server to provide a CCXv5 client with its
location upon request. Location presence is enabled automatically on CCXv5 clients. The S69
Capability line in the output of the show client detail client_mac CLI command indicates whether
a client supports location presence.
