We use Ruckus Wireless bridging. Works great in all weather, no hassle 
on setup since they can be married at the factory. I replaced one end 
from a lightening hit, setup was painless.

We have used a pair of Bridgewave GE60 units for years and they have worked 
well.

Depends on bandwidth you're looking for and range. We use:


-  Exalt r5005 80 up/80 down, can be slid around within limit of 160 
Mbps aggregate. Good range, measured in miles. Good value, easy config

-  Bridgewave Gigabit (60 series) shorter range- carrier grade. Pricey, 
but get what you pay for

-  Playing with Ubiquiti AirFiber- 1.4 Gbps over miles- cheap but if 
lives up to it's promis could be disruptive at under $3K set

Cisco 7.3 Code and ISC DHCP

2012-10-16 Thread Revital Gorsht
Our most recent shipment of Cisco 3600 APs came with a preloaded 7.3 image and appear to be ignoring the DHCP offers being sent to them from our ISC DHCP server. While spanning the port the AP is on, it is evident the offers are being sent from the DHCP server, yet the AP's debug messages insist its discovers are going unanswered. Once the AP is configured with a static IP, it will then connect to the controller, running 7.2, and downgrade its image, at which point we clear the config (so the static IP is forgotten and the AP is forced to use DHCP) and the AP accepts the same DHCP offer without fail. Wondering if anyone else who has migrated to 7.3 code with CAP3602I's and using ISC DHCP is experiencing this, or if this is specific to our DHCP settings? At the moment, I've got a case open with Cisco and am waiting on development to respond...Thanks.**

2012-10-16 Thread Jason Murray
This is not completely related, but we just upgraded one of our Cisco
routers, after the upgrade dhcp stopped working because one dhcp option was
blank.'Debug IP dhcp server' was the only way we would have noticed
this problem.  The router was silently discarding the replies.
