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:

On Mon, Aug 30,
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
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.
