RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Problems with internal DHCP server servicing requests from LAN port on Aruba controllers

2008-12-17 Thread Travis Schick
We've ran into this issue with the internal aruba DHCP server. Similar symptoms - at busy times it basically would stop responding and would require a controller reboot. I suspect the dhcp daemon crashed... We migrated to having client DHCP requests be forwarded to a central campus server -

Wireless Installation Process

2008-12-17 Thread Case, Brandon J
I'm curious as to how you all out there handle the actual physical installation of APs in your environments. Do you handle that within the same team that manages the wireless network or is it a separate group that installs the equipment? How do you go about having the data jacks installed? Just as
