Hello, Currently we use unicast forwarding mode for our Cisco WLCs. I am considering changing to multicast mode following Cisco's best practice: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/technology/wlc/8-0/82463-wlc-config-best-practice.html#pgfId-379768
We don't see any performance issues at this time but just want to plan ahead to meet the future wireless growth. Has anyone used multicast mode for controller/AP communication and have you seen any issues? We don't control the use of multicast application on campus. Anyone can pick up any multicast group address and start to use it. So another concern is what if somebody start to use the same multicast group with the WLC-AP group and how will that affect the wireless infrastructure? Thanks! --- Dennis Xu, MASc, CCIE #13056 Analyst 3, Network Infrastructure Computing and Communications Services(CCS) University of Guelph 519-824-4120 Ext 56217 [email protected] www.uoguelph.ca/ccs ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
