Thanks for responding. We have not implemented roaming and the existing staff felt it was not the right way to go. I have had great success in the past implementing other vendor roaming products and was looking for someone who has the AreoHive system and would share their experience good or bad.
It sounds like you are an Aerohive site. How large of population do you serve? How long are you IP Leases? Have you had any issues or concerns since deployed. Is your community generally satisfied with the system?

Actually, it's called "<User Profile>/Optional Settings/GRE Tunnels/GRE Roaming for station isolation", then apply a tunnel policy. Van K.
