-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We're also in the early stages of rolling out the Enterasys version of the Trapeeze gear, I've configured all of 8 access points so far, but it's going better than the test did before we purchased it. Several of the bugs I encountered during our initial test have already been fixed, and setup has only been a minor pain, most of which was mistakes I made.
We selected them because they integrated well with our existing multiple-VLAN & SSID structure. I couldn't get a call back from Meru, so never got to test them, and Aruba called me back once, then never followed up as they promised, same with Cisco, surprisingly. We also tested the system that Chantry/Siemens makes (also used by Extreme Networks), and while I liked that setup better, unless I was doing a forklift upgrade I couldn't choose it. Trying to make it coexist with our existing 130 Proxim access points was going to be a major pain, so the Nortel & Enterasys Trapeze-based gear was our final choice. We wound up opting for Enterasys because that's also who our wired-switch provider is.
