Various types of measurements are defined that enable 802.11 stations to request measurements from other stations. Information that needs to be measured to optimize the radio network. For example, with 802.11k, stations are able to assess how occupied or idle a frequency channel is.  The corresponding request and report mechanisms, and the formats of the frames through which the measurement requests and results are communicated among stations, are defined by the 802.11k amendment. Clause 11.11 in the latest 802.11-2016 standards (p. 1709). Why did we want to talk about 802.11k * It can help client devices to better roam* It has not always been supported on client devices* Clients might lie when they advertise their 802.11k capabilities… What is really happening with 802.11k * Most of the time APs (or WLC) gather client radio information via specific mechanisms* The client devices can also request some information from the infrastructure (APs & WLC) What type of information are we talking about? * Neighbor Reports: clients can request a neighbor report and learn valuable information from the infrastructure. The clients will use this information to take better roaming decisions.* Client Statistics: SNR, RSSI, Data rates, frame transmission, retries and errors can be communicated back to the AP & controller.* Channel Statistics: clients might gather noise-floor and channel-load information and send it to the infrastructure.* Transmit Power Control: this can be used to reduced interferences in both frequency bands Validate that an SSID supports 802.11k * Capture the Beacon Frame* Look for the RM Enabled Capabilities IE* Look for the Neighbor Report Enable bit in the first RM Capabilities section Validate that a client supports 802.11k & Neighbor Reports * Capture the Association Request (look at the profiler tool from WLAN Pi)* Look for the RM Enabled Capabilities IE* RM Capabilities* Neighbor Report Enable Bit sho...

Dave Benham was first introduced on the show as a highlight to him and what he does. We interviewed him at a previous Cisco Live. Today we have the joy of having him speak on the show about his tips for migrating to the Cisco Catalyst 9800 wireless controller. The Cisco Catalyst 9800 wireless controller is a completely new, from the ground up, IOS XE based wireless controller. The future of Cisco wireless is migrating away from AireOS and into IOS XE. Dave Benham has done some deployments and migrations which makes him a perfect person to talk about his migration tips. Before we get to the tips, Dave mentions that this boils down to “tweakability”. Many of the nerd knobs are in different locations as the menu has changed. This is a fresh start to the controller, different from the converged wireless we saw in the past. Migration Tips to Cisco Catalyst 9800 1. Understanding the configuration model The IOS XE version is a transition to a new configuration model. No more AP groups, for example. Get ready to use something called site profiles. There’s more flexibility here. It scales better. There is the use of three different tags. We also have the possibility of programmability, both push and pull. 2. Time to get rid of baggage (Starting Fresh) With the migration to the Cisco Catalyst 9800, it is time to start fresh by getting rid of configurations that are no longer being used. Or maybe configuration that won’t transfer at all. We go into this topic in the episode. 3. AireOS Config Translator Built into the C9800, there is a tool to translate your AireOS configuration to IOS XE. You simply upload to the browser. The tool analyzes the configuration and outlines what can and can’t be migrated. 4. Establishing Mobility You will want to establish mobility between the Catalyst 9800 controller and older controllers. Then you can gracefully configure APs to migrate over to the 9800 controllers. There is a special release to establish mobility with the 5508 controller. 5. Wave 1 APs Access points older than Wave 1 not supported on Catalyst 9800. If you have older access points, there may be a good reason to keep the AireOS controllers.

In this episode, we talk about all the CWNP certifications available today. We provide an overview of each and give some tips on how to study for them. Enjoy

In This Week In Wi-Fi (TWIW) we have a number of things to share. One of them being a bigger part of the new year and an interesting one too. We’re going to provide you with what we found this week in the news relating to wireless Before we get started, make sure to complete our 1-2 minute listener survey which is going to help us plan out episodes for 2020. Thank you in advance! Wi-Fi Alliance Announces Wi-Fi 6E About a year ago we first heard about the Wi-Fi 6 certification. Now, the Wi-Fi Alliance releases the Wi-Fi 6E, for extended. This brings 6 GHz into Wi-Fi 6. While we personally don’t feel like it’s an extension, it shows that maybe the Wi-Fi Alliance has some inside information on when the FCC will make 6 GHz available for unlicensed use. Last year, the FCC kicked off how it can allow unlicensed use in portions of the 1200 megahertz of spectrum in the 5.925 – 7.125 GHz space (6 GHz). To give you an idea of how much spectrum would be available for Wi-Fi, take this screenshot from Chuck’s (of Aruba Networks) presentation about 6 GHz. We may truly see the full potential of Wi-Fi with 6 GHz.

Josh Schmelzle created a PowerShell module that will get a list of nearby WLANs from a Windows laptop. We thought this was interesting because you can use this module remotely for troubleshooting Windows devices using PowerShell. Maybe there is other good uses for validation purposes? 5 Reasons Why You Should Become a Certified Wi-Fi Professional Dennis Klein started a YouTube channel in which he goes into the 5 Reasons Why You Should Become a Certified Wi-Fi Professional.

The purpose of having a lab Why do we build our own labs? For many of us, it started with certification. It allowed us to learn about our jobs. We wanted to get better at what we do every day. Learning is a big part of what we do to become experts. Having a lab allows us to test features or double-check specific behavior. It’s a way of experimenting and breaking things. Eventually, the lab will help you become more confident in your work. Which equipment to do you need? The type of equipment you need will depend on what you work with. You’ll want to select the vendor you work with most. But to get started on a small budget, start with your home Wi-Fi. It doesn’t take much to get started. If you just want to learn a little more about Wi-Fi, you don’t actually need a specific lab. Your home network can be THE lab you start with. You can still perform some packet captures and learn about how Wi-Fi works. Over time, that lab will evolve. You will make it grow as you need it to. Here’s a quick list of useful equipment to have: * Router* Firewall* Switch (PoE+ so you can power some APs from it) with Gig ports* Access Points (multiple from same vendor or from multiple vendors)* Controllers (these could be virtual)* Server to host some VMs* WLAN Pi Tips on getting affordable equipment: * Ask colleagues, friends, or peers to borrow equipment* Check eBay for used equipment such as Cisco Aironet 3502i or 3602i. They are generally under $100.* Use your company or VAR to see if you can leverage NFR (not for resale) programs* Talk to vendors to borrow equipment Software is also an important part of a lab. There are different types to consider such as the AP and controller firmware. This allows you to learn how APs join controllers. You can learn how to upgrade controllers and understand the process. Cloud works a little differently but it’s still important to understand how the AP operates. Just a reminder you’ll need to acquire a license somehow to get access to the software if it isn’t free. Other labs include virtual machines for: * RADIUS server* NAC solutions such as ISE or ClearPass* Virtual controllers such as the 9800-CL* DHCP and DNS servers* Windows Server for Active Directory integration Other software include applications for MacOS and Windows: * AirTool* Wireshark* WiFi Explorer* WiFi Signal* iTerm* Ekahau* TamoGraph Site Survey* NetSH commands* WLAN Pi* Metageek* Omnipeek The configuration A lab will always get messy but it is useful to keep it as simple as possible whenever you can. Work on a process to maintain things such as: * Network diagram of how you want your lab to be* Configuring equipment regularly* Backup of configuration* Possibly script out initial installs if you’ll do them often Our Labs François’ Lab * Firewall / VPN server / Router: FortiGate 60E Firewall (used for DHCP as well)* Switches: 1x UniFi 16 ports and 1x Cisco fanless 12 ports + a couple of netgear dumb swit...

In this episode we have Jussi Kiviniemi and Wes Purvis to talk about RTLS, and especially RTLS failures! We talked about the important considerations to keep in mind while deploying a network to be used for location based services in order to avoid failures. Both Jussi and Wes had some experiencing designing, deploying and validation Wi-Fi networks for Location Based Services and were able to share some really good tips. Even though both Jussi and Wes work for Mist, the tips we talked about can be applied to most RTLS solutions available on the market today. Here are some of the questions we answered during this podcast: * How many access points do you need to make RTLS work?* What type of accuracy can we expect?* How do we ensure a successful RTLS deployment?* How do we set expectations with the customer?* Does RTLS impact the Wi-Fi design? To learn more about the theory, you recommend these amazing articles from the Wi-Fi Ninjas: * https://wifininjas.net/index.php/2019/12/17/wn-blog-023-indoor-rtls-with-wifi-and-ble-deep-dive/* https://wifininjas.net/index.php/2019/11/24/wn-podcast-025-rtls-part-1-the-theory/* https://wifininjas.net/index.php/2019/12/08/wn-podcast-026-rtls-part-2-real-world-testing/ Yearly Audience Survey We prepared our yearly audience survey and would love to hear from you and get some feedback in order to keep on improving the show to your liking. Please take 1-2mins to answer the survey (It will literately take you 1 or 2 mins): https://forms.gle/uie4iXHsw8prB68g9

Merry Christmas Everyone

Starting a business can feel quite overwhelming. In this episode, Rowell and I share how we got started, what we have learn from going through the process and give you guys some tips on what needs to be done when starting up a consultancy business. What to do to start Here is a list of things you can do before registering the business: * Perform a market study to help you study the competition and see if there is a place for your on the market you are targeting* Choose a name and make sure that there is an available relevant domain name* Have an idea of how you are going to be making money* Work on a basic business plan. It can be basic at first and it will evolve in time. Registration Process Here is a list of things to do to register the business: * The process varies depending on where you live* In Ontario, Canada, you can do it online via third party companies. They take care of doing the paperwork and it costs about $400 CAD. I registered my business as a corporation. (Inc.)* In California, dba is needed to start as a sole proprietor. You can expand further to an LLC. Registration process can vary per state.* LLC in California costs $800/year* Filing fee is $20* Then there are additional permits What to do once the business is registered Here is a list of things you will have to do once the business is registered: * Banking* Open a bank account* Separate your personal and business finances* Apply for a business credit card. They will ask you for your personal credit score.* Don’t take on a loan if you don’t absolutely need it. If you start a consultancy business, you will probably not need it.* Insurances* Insure your equipment* Insure your business (Liability insurance & Errors and Omissions) (about $60mo)* Health insurance (Optional)* Leverage your spouse’s health insurance* Accountant* Learn how to do the books at first* CPA is a must when you start earning more income* Lawyer* I use a company called Legalshield. I pay monthly and have access to a lawyer whenever I need. Additional charges may apply for some advanced services.* Rowell: Used a company called Incfile. * Finance Software* Keep track of invoices* Keep track of taxes* We use Quickbooks* In the US, take advantage of SBA and SCORE* SBA: Small Business Administration offers free small business consulting and other free resources* SCORE: offers free small business mentors and education Work on the branding Here is a list of things you can do work on the branding of your new company: * Define your business values: Find 3 core values you want your business to be known for* Stick to these values in everything you do! * Business Branding* Work on your company website* Work on a logo* Work on a graphical color chart* Work on a document template (Word, PPT)* Doing charity work or volunteer work* Social Media* Create your pages on relevant social media platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook)* Try to publish regularly (leverage tools such as buffer to automate it)* Personal Branding (in case of a consultancy business)* Training* Certifications* Blog* Social Media Books Here are some books we have read along the way and had helped us in different form along our journey of being a business owner.

What is the purpose of 11r. Published in 2008 and rolled up to the 802.11 standard in 2012. An amendment to improve handoff from one AP to another. This handoff is the same with or without 11r, the device is what ultimately decides when and where to roam. As security was added, so were the additional exchanges in messages where the amount of time to roam was increased. This delay caused packet loss for some devices, especially voice calls and other latency sensitive applications. What are the benefits? 802.11r aims to reduce the length of time it takes to roam between access points. With real-time applications now relying on the wireless network, 802.11r can help reduce the roaming time and help minimize dropped traffic. Here’s an example of the difference in roaming times. It may not seem like a lot but for some applications such as VoIP it could be the jitter or missed words. I have frame exchanges with a client roaming to another AP. This network doesn’t have 802.11r enabled. In this other example, I turn on 802.11r and we can see the difference in the amount of time it takes to roam. Caveat The device needs to support 802.11r to join the BSS. Without 802.11r support, the device will be denied from associating due to an incompatibility. Fast BSS Transition 802.11r Fast transition is part of the reassociation process within the same mobility domain. In this mobility domain, the access points are working together in the same infrastructure or extended service set (ESS). Key Terms to remember: * FT – Fast Transition* FTO – A station is the Fast Transition Originator (FTO).* Over-the-Air – When FTO communicates with the target AP directly* Over-the-DS – When FTO communicates with target AP through the current AP Initial exchange of Fast Transition is called FT initial mobility domain association. When the FTO wants to roam from its current AP to a target AP using FT protocols, it will exchange messages in one of two ways: * Over-the-Air* When the FTO communicates directly with the target AP* Over-the-DS* When FTO communicates with target AP through the current AP.* FT Action Frames are used between FTO and AP* Communication between AP and target AP is encapsulated. APs advertise their FT capabilities. * Beacon frame* Probe Response frame Reassociation frame exchange Open System authentication uses the following suite types: * 00:0f:ac:3* 00:0f:ac:4 SAE uses suite type of: * 00:0f:ac:9 FT initial mobility association without an RSN * STA sends Reassociation request with MDE.* AP responds with Reassociation response frame with MDE. FT without RSN FT Protocol Over-the-Air FT protocol Authentication in an RSN * Fresh PTK is computed in advance of the reassociation FT Over-the-Air The exchange is as follows: * FTO sends Authentication Request to Target AP.* Source Address field is set to the MAC address of the FTO* Destination Address field is set to the BSSID of target AP* Target AP sends Authentication Response Over-the-DS FT protocol in an RSN

We’re going to talk about a slightly different topic. We want to start a series on the business aspect of wireless. Some of you may be consultants, started your own business, or are thinking about starting your own consulting business. 2 1/2 years ago, I started a consulting business. The process of starting and managing a business is not easy. We have a technical mindset. We have to grow a whole new set of skills and educate ourselves and become business savvy. In this episode, I touch upon the following subjects: * Finance* Using Quickbooks or Freshbooks* Agreements* Creating agreements with your clients* Using lawyers* Pricing* Determining what to price your services* Finding clients* Getting in front of the clients you want to work with* Differentiation* Standing out in a crowded market* Becoming a Partner & Reselling hardware* Adding more to your services* And more..

Wi-Fi Design Day VideosThere are so many Wi-Fi events happening across the world. Some of the most knowledgeable in our industry just so happen to speak at Wi-Fi Design Day. Luckily, their sessions are available to watch. Two videos I am looking forward to: * Analyzing Roaming Protocols with Peter MacKenzie* Andrew McHale’s Designing Wi-Fi for Voice Ekahau UpdatesIt wasn’t too long ago that Ekahau released Ekahau Pro, Connect and Survey for iPad. Now here they are releasing Ekahau for iPhone. Are we now able to do surveys with it in our pocket? Maybe. Not only that, there’s a new feature called Auto Pilot. It eliminates the need to click on the floor plan. Auto Pilot leverages Apple’s iOS SDK to take advantage of the accelerometer and gyroscope. This new feature allows us to be more efficient with surveys and lets us complete it faster with accuracy. Now I can look up to see where I’m going

You’ve probably heard how a network engineer should learn how to code because the job is changing. Our network will be driven by APIs. The role is changing. It’s not going to be overnight. The role of a network engineer will always be important. The same goes for a wireless network engineer.  But we can see where learning how to code can bring many benefits, efficiencies, and advantages to our day-to-day.  At Cisco Live 2019, the Cisco DevNet certifications were announced. It’s centered around the programmability of the network.  Rowell has challenged himself to learn Python and the objectives of the DevNet Associate. The goal is to take the DevNet Associate exam and pass it in February 2020. https://rowelldionicio.com/devnetassociate Here are the exam topics if you’re interested: * https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/community/certifications/devnet-associate/devasc/exam-topics * https://developer.cisco.com/certification/exam-topic-associate/ Must I learn how to code? Yes, no and maybe so. Not every job or role needs to learn how to code. List all the actions you do and see if you could automate some of it. If an action is listed at least twice, you could save some time automating it. But why the DevNet Associate? * To learn Python* Apply it to networking* Leverage it with Wi-Fi* Automate installations* Automate troubleshooting* Manage network devices efficiently* and more… How can a wireless expert apply it to their day-to-day * Change the way we do surveys* Deploy faster* Eliminate errors* Make the network smarter* Troubleshoot faster* Scale* Automate* Integrate into other applications* Slack* Ekahau* WebEx Teams Other resources to learn Python * Think Python 2

From the WLPC Prague presentation. We’ll go over our presentation and what we’ve found about Wi-Fi 6 from our testing. You can watch our WLPC Prague presentation on YouTube from the WLAN Pros channel. It will include a live Wi-Fi 6 demo where we include the audience. The demo consisted of 10 WLANpi running iPerf3 servers. We asked people in the audience to connect their Wi-Fi 6 devices to an Aerohive AP broadcasting Wi-Fi 6, of course. A Jetson Nano was used to capture frames. The presentation slides can be found here. Watch the presentation below: Our process included: * Theory* Lab* Test As of this recording, Wi-Fi 6 still remains in draft. It is not expected to become a standard until late 2020. Today, we are currently over the peak of inflated expectations. At WLPC Prague, we asked the audience three questions: * Do you own a Wi-Fi 6 device?* Have you deployed a Wi-Fi 6 network?* Have you ever connected to a Wi-Fi 6 network that wasn’t yours? Theory To start learning about Wi-Fi 6, we had to start with the theory. That meant getting the source of all information regarding 802.11ax. There were other resources we used as well: * 802.11ax Draft 4* Aruba’s 802.11ax document* Cisco’s IEEE 802.11ax – The Sixth Generation of Wi-Fi* Aerohive’s 802.11ax for Dummies* National Instruments’ Introduction to 802.11ax High-Efficiency Wireless* Wireless Broadband Alliance’s Wi-Fi 6 white papers* CWNA Study Guide (Chapter 19)* Gjermund’s Airtime Calculator What about the Wi-Fi Alliance? * Marketing 802.11ax* Wi-Fi 6 certification* What makes a device Wi-Fi 6 certified?* How many are certified today?* Wi-Fi 6* Compatible* Certifiable* Certified Equipment We needed to get our hands on Wi-Fi 6 equipment. There very little devices available but we managed to get ahold of Wi-Fi 6 access points and two Wi-Fi 6 devices.

We all know Fortinet as a security company, but they also provide wireless products. They actually started to do wireless when their customers asked them to secure their own Wi-Fi Networks. This year at Mobility Field Day 4, they wanted to talk about their overall wireless offering. If you want to catch back with the presentations and watch them, here are the links you need: * Fortinet Catching Up with Fortinet: https://vimeo.com/showcase/6218644/video/354230492 * Fortinet SD-Branch: Enabling Securing the WAN & Access Edge: https://vimeo.com/showcase/6218644/video/354230576* Fortinet Securing an IoT World: A Deeper Dive on FortiNAC: https://vimeo.com/showcase/6218644/video/354230739* Fortinet Managing the RF with FortiWLM: https://vimeo.com/showcase/6218644/video/354230876* Fortinet FortiLabs: A Peek Behind the Curtain: https://vimeo.com/showcase/6218644/video/354230955 For more insights from the other delegates, please read the following articles: * Forti-Much to Appreciate at Mobility Field Day 4 by Lee Badman: https://wirednot.wordpress.com/2019/09/12/forti-much-to-appreciate-at-mobility-field-day-4/  Fortinet Presenters: Chris Hinsz, Director, Products and Solutions – Wireless. In this episode, we talk about some of the interesting topics discussed during the event. A FortiSolution for Everything! The Fortinet portfolio is very impressive. It feels like they pretty much do everything! Here is their offering for branch offices that they call “Extended Branch Office”: In terms of their wireless portfolio, here is a list of some of the thing they support (this list is not exhaustive): * Wi-Fi 6 APs* Multi-Gig switched with UPoE support* Multiple types of controllers for the Forti-APs (FortiGate, Dedicated Controllers or Cloud)* FortiNAC solution* FortiWLM monitoring solution I especially like the fact that you can manage the APs from the FortiGate. In smaller networks, it could be an ideal solid solution. Wi-Fi 6 APs Fortinet is bringing their new Wi-Fi APs to the market: FortiAP-U431F & FortiAP-U433F.  And it is also their first tri-radio access point. The access point will actually be able to operate in different modes: The last mode presented is very interesting. It would allow to use all radios to provide Wi-Fi access service (2 radios for the 5Ghz band and the third one for the 2.4Ghz band). This is something that we don’t often see offered with tri-radio APs. We typically see the third radio used to do some sort of monitoring or testing. FortiWLM – Managing the RF FortiWLM is a RF manager that pairs up with the wireless controller. It is used to perform complexe RF investigation.

Aruba covered a lot of subjects during their Mobility Field Day presentations this year, bringing some of their brightness staff members on stage.
