Hi everyoneI have 3 doubts in which I needed you to help me

-I have a vx9000 installed with Nsight. Could I export the Nsight database to be treated by third-party software? Would it be exported from here?

-And on the other hand, I'm looking to replace Nsight with ExtremeGuest and I needed to know what captures one and the other. To know what I lose if I remove Nsight and install E-Guest. E-Guest I have not installed yet. Is there any comparison between these two platforms? Or some more explanatory document than the datasheet to see what each one specifically captures?

- And finally in the Extreme Guest specifications box, the part that says "user records in the database". Does it refer to 2 million users or 2 million user records? If a record refers for example when a client connects, another record when this same client enters a web, another record when changing web, etc. Or simply the client connects and whatever he does for E-guest is a single record.

E-guest also register unconnected customers, right?

Thanks

Hi Slava



The vx9000 wireless controller can reach the ExtremeGuest and vice versa. Both are in the same network.

Both have version 5.9.1.2-006R.

I attach the configurations of the two machines in dropbox:

VX9000

ExtremeGuest

https://www.dropbox.com/s/39ucpatx12s5jfm/ExtremeGuest.txt?dl=0



I deleted part of the configuration since I had more than 200 rf-domains and about 1000 APs. I have left 3 of each.

Thanks in advance

yes. I am following "ExtremeGuest Server Deployment Guide". But after entering the command # eguest-server 1 host "ExtremeGuest IP address" on my VX9000 nothing is synchronized with the ExtremeGuest machine. The Management Tree is not synchronized, there is no synchronized wlans or ssid from the vx9000 to extremeguest ... There I am stuck.

Jose, do you have access to the following documentation? a collection of How To guides for ExtremeGuest.

Take a look: https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/Q_A/Is-there-any-documentation-available-for-E-GU...

Hi



For the part of radius redirection, I have done it on some occasions pointing to a radius mounted on a Windows server domain controller using the following AAA policy

On the VX9000 I can create this policy by pointing to the ip of the ExtremeGuest and configuring a key. But in ExtremeGuest, at the web interface level I do not see where to create the radius. I only have three possible configurations within the AAA section (Autorization, Group and Network). Also within Autorization it indicates that I do not have any WLAN or SSID and it does not let me create it either. In the Wlan SSID drop-down there is nothing.

There is a section of networks in ExtremeGuest that according to the manual I understand that it is to create the networks of the different delegations where I have wifi? Ask to enter a password. What does this password refer to?

On the other hand, when configuring in my VX9000 the redirection to the ExtremeGuest machine, I have not migrated the rf-domains tree that I understand would be here:

44d4d0158b8840e2a1cda9cc52704a64_RackMultipart20180928-2614-1qyv7ud-4_inline.png



I am not sure that I have migrated anything or the synchronization has not been done...

Sorry for asking so much but I'm a little lost... Thanks.

Jose, in this setup it is ExtremeGuest that is your RADIUS server so the authencation and radius accounting need to be sent to ExtremeGuest.
