Lee:
 
I think the key phrase is "at the same time".  This may be a bug found when
Cisco or someone else did scalability testing with test tools, not a likely
event in production.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Open Cisco COntroller Caveat/DHCP issue


I'm trying to get clarification on this open caveat, but so far can't get a
clear answer on the specifics of the bug:
 
CSCsj25953-When 200 or more wireless clients try to associate to a
controller at the same time, the clients become stuck in the DHCP_REQD
state. The controller receives the DHCP offer from an external DHCP server
but does not send the offer to the access point in LWAPP.
 
Obviously, getting to 200 clients on a single controller is routine
operations on a busy network, especially when one controller has 150
associated access points. Has anyone else dug in on this one, and gotten any
real details? It sounds potentially catastrophic, or that it could be
relatively harmless, but without more detail it's hard to know.
