Cisco WCS users, I'm sure most of you know this already but in case you don't, beware of the client count statistics in both WCS and controllers. If you have a WLAN with web auth or 802.1X and a client associates to that WLAN, the client gets added to the client count whether authentication is successful or not. This can be misleading, especially if you are using these statistics for future planning. We often get questions about the number of users that we have on our network. The statistics we get, we get them from our radius server. That way we know for a fact that a client is actually logged on and is not just a user that forgot to turn off his/her wireless adapter (99% of our users) and is associated to a WLAN.
