Part 4 – Monitoring PSN Load Balancing

The best way to know that your configuration is working properly is to measure with a tool outside of ISE.  Unfortunately, authentications per second is not available via SNMP or the REST API.  What does happen is for each authentication a SYSLOG message is generated.  The following messages are for every passed and failed authentication: […]

Part 2 – Enter the Load Balancer

In Part 1 we explored the simplest configuration possible.  Now let’s introduce a load balancer appliance. I’m just going to put it out there.  Load balancers are a necessary evil.  They are for protocols that are too dumb to figure out how to load balance themselves at the application layer.  But we’re going to find […]

Privacy And Networking Part 8: IPv6 Addresses And Privacy

One of the biggest advantages of IPv6 is the ease of renumbering thanks to SLAAC and DHCPv6. Easy renumbering of IPv6 addresses should, in theory, make some privacy protection methods easy to implement. Here's how it works, and and how it doesn't solve all privacy problems.

Heavy Networking 673: Multicast DNS Gone Wild On Your WLAN

You know all those Apple and other IoT devices connected to your wireless network? Lots of them run apps that discover services on your network via multicast DNS (mDNS). All of that mDNS traffic can have a significant impact on your WLAN’s performance. On today's Heavy Networking we talk with guest Bryan Ward who has actually measured the impact of mDNS on a production wireless network to see what would happen if he let mDNS traffic run wild.
