Hi All,
2710 Location Appliance virtualization is trivial. 3310/3350 Mobility Services Engine virtualization is a bit more complicated, but also straightforward. Obviously you need to have a WCS with Location (Plus) license, otherwise your Location engines are pretty useless. All other stuff like DNS, Windows domain (AD), CA, ACS (including 5.0), WCS can be easily virtualized as well. Virtualized hardware runs in production environment even better than native appliance-based one. You get HA, DRS, increased manageability, scalability and other nice features. Of course, not officially supported. 2106 controller (its hardware is the same as for ASA5505) is theoretically possible to virtualize as well. I gave up after few weeks trying J From the practical standpoint, it may take months as one have to write a MontaVista 4 Linux driver for Marvel 88E60xx chip J If you have a spare ASA box, I guess it is possible to "convert" it to 2106. It is likely NOT possible to run higher controller (440x and 5508) code in virtual environment as CPU architecture is not i386 (440x is ARM, and 5508 is MIPS64).

Does anyone know how to extract BiOS from wlc2106 (if it is possible at all) or where to get one from? ZZZ
