Chris,
Another way to implement redundancy with Meru is by using Option 43 (vendor specific attribute) on your DHCP server. With Option 43, the DHCP server provides the APs with primary and secondary controller addresses. In the event that the primary controller goes down, and the plus1 cluster backup controller is unavailable for some reason, the APs would connect to the secondary controller, which could be any other controller (other than the nplus1 backup). Hope this info helps. Best Regards, Robert Robert A.

I am currently using the meru wireless system with the Nplus1 technology. This works great as long as you don't have more than one controller go down at a time, but if you would lose a whole building or more than one controller there will be an outage. I was wondering what other universities are doing to get true redundancy? Are you buying a nplus1 controller for every production controller?
