I spoke with our Cisco Wireless team, and they said HTTPS re-direct is disabled by default and best practice. Enabling HTTPS puts a heavy load on the WLC CPU.
I’m unsure why “not” enabling HTTPS is best practice, but it’s a work around for now. It’s always enabled with anything that has a front end GUI that I manage. We’re upgrading to 8.2.160.0 due to a bug in 151.0 that causes AP’s (3802, 1810W) to crash and reload with the error, “Reason for association 'AP Crashed Due To Software Failure'.” Which isn’t an ideal situation with the students moving back in a week. 160.0 fixed the bug that was found and is the only stable version that supports Flexconnect, Rlans and 802.1x without them reloading spontaneously. I have 3-5 a day that this happens to right now. *From:* The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto: [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Bibin George *Sent:* Thursday, August 03, 2017 12:50 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Web GUI unresponsive after HTTPS-redirect enabled I know this is not so secure, but our work around was enable http for management and login to the controller by http, that works great. *From:* The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [ mailto:[email protected] <[email protected]>] *On Behalf Of *Charles Francis *Sent:* Thursday, August 03, 2017 8:37 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Web GUI unresponsive after HTTPS-redirect enabled We have not hit this one specifically, but we have noticed that once we start adding AP’s and clients to an 8540, the GUI response lags significantly. CLI will lag at times as well.
