We are moving away from our current guest wireless architecture. We are a Cisco shop and plan to utilize the wireless controllers (WiSM) for guest access. We plan to use the web-passthrough feature with a customized agreement page. We have been testing on our current 4.2.130 version of code. We have also upgraded a test environment to 6.0.182. The other engineers want to move to the 6.x code, but I'm concerned.
Does anyone have any feedback on using the Cisco controllers as the portal for wireless guest access? Which version? I know there are some caveats with web-authentication in certain versions. I believe it had something to do with number of connections. We hope to avoid that, using passthrough. Also, in general, any thoughts on which code train to put our testing efforts on? We only have a couple weeks to decide, so that we may have this deployed by mid-August. Thank you for your time and feedback.
