Wireless Radius AUTH and MAC Address Whitelist - random disabling users

Cześć Robert and welcome to the UTM Community!

Please show lines from the wireless log when a connection is lost and then the lines when the lost connection tries to re-establish.

Cheers - Bob

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your reply. We were waiting for problem to appear again, because in meantime we have set cron SG restart every night, which helping to limit number of problems.

Now we have situation that one computer is not able to log in to wireless network. In whireless log it looks like:

This is repeating for whole day. Day before this computer was using Wireless network without problem. When remove MAC address and add again to list, it starting to work.

This is 'fresh' installation, configured 4 weeks ago.

Thanks,

Robert

It would be interesting to know if simply disabling/enabling the WiFi network would solve this problem.

You can get the REF of the wireless network in question (wlan3 in the command below):

     cc get_object_by_name itfhw awe_network wlan3| grep \'ref

Say the result indicated 'REF_ItfAwePrivate'

Toggle this off/on with:

     cc change_object 'REF_ItfAwePrivate' status 0 ; cc change_object 'REF_ItfAwePrivate' status 1

Any luck with that?

Cheers - Bob

Hi Bob,

We have tried your suggestion:

utm-wifi-2:/home/login # cc get_object_by_name itfhw awe_network wlan3| grep \'ref

utm-wifi-2:/home/login # cc get_object_by_name itfhw awe_network wlan3

0

utm-wifi-2:/home/login # cc change_object 'REF_ItfAwePrivate' status 0

0

utm-wifi-2:/home/login # cc change_object 'REF_ItfAwePrivate' status 1

0

utm-wifi-2:/home/login # cc get_object_by_name itfhw awe_network wlan3| grep \'ref

utm-wifi-2:/home/login #

This is what we got.

Please remember that every night we are restarting UTM to minimize number of problems.

Do you have any other idea? I rather think that problem is with MAC Address table at UTM, but maybe I'm wrong.

Have a good day

Robert

Robert, instead of using wlan3 in those commands, you need to use the wlan# for your wireless network.  Any better luck.

Cheers - Bob

HI Bob,

We have tried different WLANs as customer has wlan0, wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, wlan4.

All tries return same value 0. 

When trying turn wireless off and on nothing happen (wireless is still working).

utm-wifi-2:/root # cc get_object_by_name itfhw awe_network wlan0

0

utm-wifi-2:/root # cc get_object_by_name itfhw awe_network wlan1

0

utm-wifi-2:/root # cc get_object_by_name itfhw awe_network wlan2

0

utm-wifi-2:/root # cc get_object_by_name itfhw awe_network wlan3

0

utm-wifi-2:/root # cc get_object_by_name itfhw awe_network wlan4

0

utm-wifi-2:/root # cc change_object 'REF_ItfAwePrivate' status 0

0

utm-wifi-2:/root # cc change_object 'REF_ItfAwePrivate' status 1

0

Any other idea here?

Have a good day.

Robert

Are you logged in as root?

To pick the right REF, run the two following commands:

     cc get_objects itfhw awe_network|grep \'ref
     cc get_objects itfhw awe_network|grep interface_name
