We are a Cisco thin wireless environment, and see an occasional oddity with
wireless clients running Vista and windows 7 with the default IPv6 and
Link-Layer Topology settings (IPv6 enabled, Link-Layer Topology Discovery and
Mapper both enabled).
IPv6 is disabled on our WLANs (check box under

should/would result in trouble tickets.

So I hate to dig this up again but nobody really responded to Jeff Sessler's
post Given the need for designs based on capacity rather than coverage, do
those who've done site surveys previously feel they are still worth the
trouble?
Seems to me wireless surveys are for determining coverage

Yep, that's how we've been doing our 802.1X authentication since day
You can certainly set dBm limits for signal and survey, or data rate limits, or
client density limits, and survey with those. However, there are aspects that
just require one to have knowledge or a feel, of campus.
For example: Where do people typically congregate and use laptops? Which
Having done a Dorm Installation last week, let me add another point:
5 Ghz is great, but in some places you might want to skip the expense.
We had no choice but to feed Dorm suites from the center hallway.
After a thorough testing we came to the conclusion that we would only provide
802.11n at
Wasted in what sense, Philippe? Residence halls are obviously high-density
environments so capacity is a big concern, especially during peak usage
periods. Even if the 5 GHz 11n channel can’t provide full coverage for the area
under consideration, if it offloads even 25-30% of the 2.4 GHz 11n
We are. With a little RADIATOR thrown in the middle to assign users to VLANS
dynamically.

5 GHz was only usable in hallways (deserted) and the front part of suites
(shower and restroom).
Where users are present we were measuring -80 dBm or less at 5 GHz.
That dorm doesn't have common areas. In common areas, it would make sense to
use 5 GHz of course.
The extra capacity is provided by

I've been on 7.0.98.0 since it was released (in June) of last year. This is
the longest I'm aware of for the WLC system to be on the same version of
code on the Cisco website (10 months without a new release). We don't use
the webauth heavily, but we haven't had any problems with it.

I have never, ever liked the Cisco guest portal. We had specific guest
requirements, and engaged Bluesocket. They worked with us to give us exactly
what we wanted in function, and it is quite elegant for a university setting.

I don't want to market products here, but if you need capacity, single-radio
AP's are not the way to go. If you are LUCKY, you'll get 35 people on an AP...

I completely agree with you there Lee. I still pine for the days when
