We are running 4.2.130 since last December. Very stable with no issues so far. We have this code running on both WiSM's and stand alone 4400's and one 2106. We have just under 1200 ap's in production. We are running 5.1.151.0 code on our testbed controller. We are still not comfortable going to the 5 code train yet.

We have both web auth wlan and WPA wlan(majority of users are on web auth wlan). We have found when wisms are running in a higher load(500-1000 users per controller), they will start to have crash issue and web auth issue(web login page not loading). They run very stable when the load is low. Is this the same case for other deployments as well? I hope someone can share following info with me: 1. Are your wisms stable and what code do you use? 2. How many users total and how many web auth users do you have per controller(NOT per wism blade) Thanks!

I have to wonder if the same class of hardware from other vendors is just as quirky, but perhaps you hear less about them because of lesser market share? Or are the WiSMs is a dubious class by themselves? Lee H.

We have both web auth wlan and WPA wlan(majority of users are on web auth wlan). We have found when wisms are running in a higher load(500-1000 users per controller), they will start to have crash issue and web auth issue(web login page not loading). They run very stable when the load is low. Is this the same case for other deployments as well? I hope someone can share following info with me: 1. Are your wisms stable and what code do you use? 2. How many users total and how many web auth users do you have per controller(NOT per wism blade) Thanks!=20 Dennis Xu Network Analyst(CCS) University of Guelph 5198244120 x 56217 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:37:29 -0500 From: Dennis Xu <[email protected]> Subject: Re: WiSM Code- Revisited We upgraded to 4.2.176.0 from 4.1.185.0 and we run into a problem that sometimes the web login page cannot load on client browsers.
