Supposedly, with Concannon they are coming back with the unlimited license- though I can't get a straight answer out of Cisco yet. I did hear that pricing will be on the scale of $400,000 for the site license- but like most things with this product line, it can be hard to get the real (or consisten

I know we discussed WCS licensing on this listserv some time agowasn't there a point where you bought enough AP licenses that it was cheaper to purchase the unlimited license for WCS? And does that give one the right to run WCS once, or many times? Frank _ From: Paynter, Jeffrey [m

We are in the process of installing WCS, WiSMs, & APs (Cisco 1131s & 1242s). We may have as many as 8 WiSMs & 2,100 APs. Won't know until the site surveys are complete. We are also implementing Cisco Clean Access at the same time on the WLAN for security. Currently we have 4 WiSMs (4.0.217.0

It depends on what you've told your clients to verify. We have our clients verify both the CA *and* CommonName (as should be done by all :)). We just renewed our cert several months ago with no issue whatsoever, and no one outside central IT even knew it was done (or needed to for that ma

First lesson learned - WCS is not built for the virtual world. It will work but be very slow due to Java but you could use it as a backup. (4 WiSMs and 375 APs) I have had 1 database crash in the last year since we started with WCS. I have set WCS to do a nightly backup of the database. I jus

We've been running a cisco wireless network for a full academic year now with 300 1242abg access points running from 4 4404 controllers and 1 wcs server. I could take that machine down for a few days, even a week, and it wouldn't be the end of the world. To us, it really is a control server.
