To segregate iOS-connected devices onto a guest SSID on VLAN 101 and the rest of the clients on VLAN 102, specific configurations are needed on the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). The correct configurations required are:

• Add local profiling policy under global security policy settings (Option B): This allows the WLC to profile devices based on their operating system. By identifying iOS devices, a local profiling policy can then direct these devices to the appropriate VLAN.
• Enable device classification on global wireless settings (Option E): Device classification is necessary for the WLC to differentiate between device types. Once enabled, it can apply different policies based on whether a device is recognized as an iOS device or not.

The FlexConnect AP Upgrade feature allows for a selective upgrade process within a FlexConnect group. By not setting any master APs, the WLC will automatically select one AP of each model with the lowest MAC address to receive the upgrade directly from the controller. This ensures that the upgrade is distributed efficiently across different AP models in the group without manual intervention.

The command cmxha convert backup is used on the backup Cisco CMX server to designate it as the secondary server in a high-availability deployment. This command helps to resolve the issue where both servers are considered primary. References: Cisco CMX high-availability documentation will provide more details on this command.

 For a BYOD setup using a dual SSID approach, the first SSID is typically used for device registration and the second for network access. Setting the NAC State to Radius NAC enables the network access control (NAC) to use RADIUS for authentication, authorization, and accounting. Allowing AAA Override enables the RADIUS server to dynamically change the VLAN and ACLs assigned to the endpoint, which is crucial for BYOD where devices need to be placed into the correct VLAN based on user role and device type. References: CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide, particularly the chapters on BYOD and advanced WLAN configuration.

During the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) process, the RADIUS server generates an encrypted session key after the client’s identity is authenticated. This session key is sent to the access point to encrypt data frames between the client and the access point. It ensures that each session has a unique encryption key, enhancing security. References: Look for information on EAP and RADIUS in the CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide.

The issue with users configured for EAP-PEAP not being able to connect to the network, when a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is deployed using local EAP, typically points to a misconfiguration in the local EAP profile on the WLC. EAP-PEAP relies on a server-side certificate to create a secure TLS tunnel for the authentication process. If the local EAP profile is not correctly configured with the proper certificate or other necessary settings, the authentication process will fail, preventing users from connecting. References := ( CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide )

To segregate iOS devices to the guest SSID on VLAN 101 and distribute the rest of the clients on VLAN 102, creating a service template and enabling device classification are required. The service template specifies the VLAN assignment, while device classification identifies the type of device connecting to the network. References: Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 WLC documentation on local policies and device classification.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure reporting provides a comprehensive summary of inconsistencies and missed best practices related to WLAN controllers. It aggregates data from all WLCs, Cisco MSE, and itself to generate detailed reports. References: Cisco Prime Infrastructure reporting features documentation.

 To resolve the issue of changing the Cisco Hyperlocation detection threshold, the engineer should shut down all radios on the controller, change the Cisco Hyperlocation detection range, and then enable the radios again. This process ensures that the new threshold settings are applied correctly across the network.
