The controllers aren't cheap and the APs don't get cheaper even though
they are light ? I assume there are

Simon,
While I can't speak definitively about the Cisco solution, I can tell
you about Emory's Aruba installation. The Aruba and Cisco architectures
are similar (but with some significant differences).
We now have over 1400
Good thread.
The number one worry about autonomous mode (IOS) APs from Cisco is
that they no longer seem to have any effort in developing it. Yes,
they will support it but that's not where the RD is.
If you read the various information from the Web site, they migrated
WLSE (autonomous NMS) to
Few more tips-
From the console watch for the LWAPP Discovery, then the LWAPP Join.
Chances are, you'll have to manually pull in the SSC on these before
you'll get the join. if you never see the Join, you may have an IP
address in the AP but it won't work.
And- to make things even more

I was wondering if anyone out there has upgraded their Cisco 1200 APs to
the code that is supposed to do LWAPP? I have looked at the
documentation that Cisco provide. But I did not find anything about the
setup. Does it work at layer 3 or layer 2? Do you
It works the same as the native LWAPP AP's. You can pass the
controller info via option 43, L2 if it's on the same Ethernet
segment, or by creating an A record for the controller- cisco-lwapp-
controller.yourDomainHere. Don't have any in production, but we
tested the flash from IOS to
We are using the layer 3 environment and I did have one initial problem
that's not in the upgrade notes. If you are using layer 3, your
controller management is on a different subnet, and your APs are
currently configured with statics addresses. Before you run the
conversion code
Also beware- we had to put many of our switches/Fat APs both set to 100
Mb/Full Duplex to avoid mismatches. Unfortunately, the LWAPPs almost
demand auto/auto. I find that most of them that attach to switch ports
that are nailed to 100/Full will come up at 100/half duplex on the AP.
Unfortunately,
