We have wrestled with this at Midland, too. We licensed XpressConnect this August and it is helping a lot in getting students connected to our WPA2-secured network. But starting last year we also opened up access from our unencrypted wireless network to allow connections to some of our servers.

Size of LWAPP management subnet

2010-08-30 Thread Earl Barfield
I'm curious about how many LWAPP access points and controllers my peers are running in a single vlan/broadcast domain? Cisco engineers keep telling me that they recommend a maximum of 100 APs in a subnet and to keep the WLCs on a different subnet/vlan from the LWAPP APs. That would be a lot of

FYI, Newer model AP's don't support Layer 2 mode.. More specifically, CAPWAP does not HAVE a layer 2 mode. (So the 1140's are out) I know for a fact the 1131 does not: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_qanda_item09186a008064a991.shtml (3/4 of the way down) On Mon, Aug 30,

Tony, We use Cloudpath's Xpressconnect product and have very few related trouble calls. This year we set up thousands of incoming freshman on Mac and various flavors of Windows with WPA2 and had very few problems. The software isn't that expensive considering the value we get out of it. I do

some other interesting documentation regarding the phasing out of layer 2 mode which seems to contradict itself, in 6.0.199.0 we noticed that the WAPs don't look for cisco-lwapp-controller anymore if cisco-capwap-controller doesn't respond. i would assume that if they took out the lwapp dns

Tony, I don't have much to add other than I feel your pain brother. We are in the exact same boat. While we have managed to get over 3000 students and 500 staff on to the secure WPA2 wireless, it has not been an easy road. We had to manually install certificates or touch close to

The spanning-tree issues of campus-wide VLANs aside, one of our biggest problems with having large numbers of Cisco AP's in a common subnet was the gratuitous ARP's sent by Cisco AP's twice per minute. That really doesn't seem like a large problem until you're looking at over 1000 AP's.
