How to make RAPs to communicate with RTLS server ? 

Jul 14, 2016 05:45 PM

Requirement:

Customer has RAP's deployed in the network with CPSEC enabled and wants them to communicate with RTLS server.   APs have rebooted after enabling CPSEC and are in sys-ap-role.  As a result controller is denying the communication between the RAP and the RTLS server.

159.8.85.88 : RTLS server


10.253.245.242  00:00:00:00:00:00  d8:c7:c8:c2:d0:52  sys-ap-role  07:11:40    VPN   10.2.240.148     N/A                                default-rap  tunnel                         Internal  0 (0)       OFF/0/0


Note:

Below deployments will not work with current AOS:
-    CPSEC is ENABLED
-    RTLS server is not routable from the RAP inner IP (irrespective of CPSEC)



Solution:

We can support this deployment where the RTLS server (Aeroscout/Ekahau) is routable from the RAP inner IP AND when CPSEC is DISABLED on the controller. This requires an ACL to be added to the config.



Configuration:

The config would be like this:
-------------------------------------
conf t
ip access-list session rtls
any <rtls-ip> <rtls-port> permit
!
User-role ap-role
Session-acl rtls
!
---------------------------------------



Verification

Verify the communication between RAP and RTLS server using the below command:

 

#show datapath session table <RTLS ip>
