Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has seen something similar, we have a call with TAC 
and are just escalating to the next level as first level support haven't 
identified a problem.



We are still on  7.3.101, we were going to 7.4 but by time the opportunity came 
we chose to wait for 7.5. Now we probably won't go 7.5 either due to Prime 
compatibilities.



Essentially it started with Prime getting stuck on data collection tasks from 
the controllers. In investigating this with TAC we found that some of the 
controllers were very slow to respond. This only happens during peak times 
11am-3pm when the network is busiest.  Doing a ping test showed some quite high 
results like averages of 150ms +. Further investigation shows this is related 
to the AP count, and a controller with an AP count of 200 has 1ms, while 350 
has 150ms. Outside of peak times the ping time is higher, but more like 30ms. 
Moving AP's across controllers shows the issue to follow the controllers with 
higher AP counts. We use LAG with 4x gig ports, no single port goes over 25% 
utilisation.



So it seems related to load, but CPU and memory are barely in use and 350 AP's 
is well below the 500 supported and about 2500 clients which is also below the 
7000 supported.



It seems most likely to be a config issue, or perhaps a bug. From what we can 
tell there's no impact on users, we've had no complaints and all testing shows  
normal performance and authentication times. Really the only impact we have is 
the slow data collection. General UI usage seems unaffected.



Regards



Jason
