2. Under Profiles, select Wireless LAN, then select Virtual AP. In the Virtual AP list, select the appropriate
virtual AP instance.
3. Select AAA profile. Select the 802.1X Authentication Profile to display in the Profile Details section.
4. Scroll down and deselect the Disable rekey and reauthentication for clients on call check box.
5. Click Apply.
In the CLI
Use the following commands:
aaa authentication dot1x <profile>
no voice-aware
Configuring SIP Authentication Tracking
The controller supports the stateful tracking of session initiation protocol (SIP) authentication between a SIP
client and a SIP registry server. Upon successful registration, a user role is assigned to the SIP client. You specify
a configured user role for the SIP client in the AAA profile.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > AP Configuration page. Select either AP Group or AP Specific.
l If you select AP Group, click Edit for the AP group name for which you want to configure the SIP client
user role.
l If you select AP Specific, select the name of the AP for which you want to configure the SIP client user
role.
2. Under Profiles, select Wireless LAN, then Virtual AP. In the Virtual AP list, select the appropriate virtual
AP instance.
3. Select the AAA profile. Enter the configured user role for SIP authentication role.
4. Click Apply.
In the CLI
aaa profile <profile>
sip-authentication-role <role>
Use the show voice client-status command to view the state of the client registration.
Enabling Real Time Call Quality Analysis
Real Time Call Quality Analysis (RTCQA) enables the controller to compute the call quality parameters such as
jitter, delay, packet loss, and call quality score (R-value) directly from the RTP media stream. Additionally, the
controller saves the periodic samples of the quality parameters for detailed analysis of the results. You can
monitor up to 30 active calls that are initiated after enabling RTCQA. You can avail the full benefits of RTCQA by
setting the AP in tunnel, decrypt-tunnel, or split-tunnel forwarding mode.
Enabling RTCQA is helpful in cases where the VOIP clients do not use RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) or use
encrypted RTCP (in the case of Lync) which the controller cannot get the quality information from the RTCP
frames.
Important Points to Remember
RTCQA for voice calls is supported only in the following cases:
l when the signaling messages are not encrypted.
l when the signaling messages are encrypted for Lync.
