Hi Danny We have had some issues with HA mode in the past running 7.4.110. ping to the gateway would routinely fail causing a failover, at one point both the primary and secondary failed at once causing an outage. At this point i disabled HA mode and waited for new software. When 7.6 came around

Wireless client testbed

2015-02-05 Thread Jason Watts
I'm wondering what folks do to test/recreate issues that clients are having when there are such a mix of OS's, patch levels, client chipsets, and drivers. Does anyone have a testbed system that works well for recreating a client setup? I'm imagining a system

Mixing ac AP types

2015-02-05 Thread Cosgrove, John
I am designing a new wireless placement for a 5 story building and I have been considering mixing 802.11ac AP types. Meaning. Some Cisco 1702's,2702's and 3702's. Placement depending on estimated client densities. Example. Conference rooms may have 3702's yet open areas with less people

Agreed. With 60,000+ devices on our campus there are hundreds of unique combinations of hardware software. It would be impossible to get even 75% of the different setups in a test lab. We have neither the budget, the time, the space, nor definitive info on what hardware/software combinations

Fair points all and pretty much reinforces my gut feeling about it, but I value the perspectives of this list and wanted to be sure I wasn't overlooking something. There's certainly no substitute for reality. -- Jason Watts Pratt Institute, Academic Computing Senior Network Administrator On

And even if you do replicate it 100%, there is more to a problem then just the device. For example, we ran into an issue with an iMac and wifi connectivity where we couldn't reproduce it in our lab. By pure accident, we discovered that the problem manifested itself only if the iMac was rotated
