Streaming multicast over wireless

2006-11-01 Thread Kevin Johnson
In reference to this topic, we have been successful with multicasting
over LWAPP.  We are using Vocera and they require multicast for their
broadcast groups.  One key configuration step is to disable IGMP
Snooping on the Vocera VLAN.  Have you tried this for your application
VLAN?

We run over 100 medical applications, and moving from IOS WLAN to LWAPP
hasn't caused any issues of this sort.  Haven't heard of this before.

Happy Friday All:

Gotta love the seemingly simple issues.

So we have a Cisco LWAPP network all up and running, playing nice with
just about everything. Ran into a problem this morning where a
workstation management application couldn't talk to any of the client
computers. The setup worked in the past when we used the regular 1230
AP's but since we've switched its decided to not work. Does anyone
know
if there is some kind of peer-to-peer client restriction that is
configurable on the controller/WCS?

Thanks,

Justin

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] using four channels instead of three

2007-01-02 Thread Kevin Johnson
We experience and ran a 4-channel model for over a year.  For data,
802.11b, not bad.  But when you start adding voice and Cisco to the mix,
who by the way doesn't approve of a 4-channel model (with documentation
verifying this), you will run into issues.  The perception thing will
also get you into trouble from any vendor bringing in an application
running across wireless.

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] using four channels instead of three

It was written:
> 4 Simultaneous Channels Okay For 802.11b

It's important to understand the differences of 3 channel vs
4 channel spacing for 802.11b vs 802.11g.

Take a look at the transmit spectral mask shown in Figure 96
of IEEE 802.11 1999.  At 11 MHz away from the frequency center you
have to be down -30 dB, and at 22 MHz away from center you have
to be down -50 dB.

Here's a good document describing this for 802.11b and shows
the differences in the xmit mask for 802.11g.  Note that it
is "easier" to get away with 4 channel spacing with b's CCK
compared to g's OFDM.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/ 
prod_technical_reference09186a00802846a2.html

In a nutshell, 4 channel spacing is not really a problem for 'b',
provided you're starting out with a low noise floor.  If you're
concerned about throughput on 802.11g, you may not want to use 4
channel spacing.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Vendor Choice

2007-10-19 Thread Kevin Johnson
We have been a Cisco shop for over 4 years.  Not to take anything away from 
Aruba, but like vendor products always work well together.  I am very pleased 
with our WLAN, both LWAPP and IOS solutions.  Solid, stable, and reliable.

I am in the process of evaluating vendors for a campus-wide rollout of 
wireless. I have narrowed my choices down to Cisco and Aruba. We are planning 
on creating three roles which are faculty/staff, student, and guest.Each of 
these roles will have varying degrees of access to systems on the network. 
Because of manpower issues we will be broadcasting the SSID and using Novell's 
LDAP to authenticate to the system. We are not a Cisco shop so there is no 
advantage either way as far as dropping into our existing system. 

My question is are there any gotchas I might be missing with these two vendors? 
From what I have seen, both systems seem to work nearly identically. You can 
access the same information from each controller, and both are self-healing 
when an AP goes out. Are there any support issues I should be aware of? We plan 
on making our decision around the first of November, so I look forward to any 
comments this group might have.

We are interested in purchasing a WiFi based RFID equipment location and 
tracking system in the hospital component of our university and would be 
interested in feedback from anyone who has experience with such an installation.
 
We are an academic medical center with a 350 bed hospital plus four colleges.  
We have recently deployed a Cisco LWAPP based wireless network with a Cisco 
2710 location engine and designed our 2.4 GHz RF coverage with location 
services in mind.  Every wireless device in the hospital building can be seen 
by at least three access points.  Our goal is to be able to locate and track 
medical equipment (IV Pumps, beds, wheelchairs, portable monitors, etc.) and 
create an interface into our equipment maintenance tracking system.
 
Any experience with this type of system would be welcome.
 
Thanks,
Don Roller
