We have also recently upgraded to 8.2.160.0 on our pair of 5508 controllers,
and students are scheduled to begin arriving next week. Any comments from
Cisco regarding the 8.2.160.0 code?

Hector's lament reminded me: a week before opening we did have a spontaneous
reboot of one half of an 8540 SSO pair (8.2.151.0)- the other box went active
by design, but we do have an open case on the reboot because it was truly
unexpected on a WLC that had been up for 3 months+ feeling rock sol

I think it might be a bit early to report in, our students come back this
weekend. This time of year is normally like a "frog in the pot", every day for
the next two weeks our counts just keep slowly getting higher and higher. We

That said, on all of our 11ac WAPs including the Cisco 3800-series, even in our
dense areas, the AP’s are auto-picking 80Mhz channel-width. From the client
stats, many of them are at a tx: rate of 867 to 1300 in the residential halls.

We were able to complete a couple of major changes in advance of our students
moving in.
The first is that we completed an upgrade to Aruba 8.1 (brave, I know). We
have just under 1,300 APs running on it, mostly 2xx series with a handful of
3xx. We had to upgrade our controllers to a pair o

600Mbps on a single AP is impressive, is that with a 40MHz or 80MHz channel?
What sort of client mix is generating that much traffic?

I can only preface it as 3rd hand info:
8540s on 8.2.160, some unidentified condition making the APs flap once a
certain load of clients was reached. Beyond that, I can’t say much.

Lee and friends,
We changed several things and are faring very well this move in. With just 6
thousand clients in residence halls we aren't at half way yet. We top around
12 - 14k devices there which should hit before the weekend ends.

Lee,
Without identifying the school can you give any more detail about what sort of
catastrophic issues they are having? What controllers/APs? We just moved to
8.2.160.0 on 5520s and I haven’t noticed anything yet that I would deem
catastrophic. We are on a mix of 2802i, 3502i, 1142n APs.
Jaso
Our setup:
Code: 8.3.121.0
APs: 2602, 3602, 2702, 3702, 2802 (roughly 230 of them), handful of 1810W,
and a couple 1142
Controllers: 2 8540 HA pairs and 1 5520 HA pair
We ended up needing to move to 8.3.121.0 due to a bug TAC was not going to
fix for the 1810W pertaining to the operations of the w
Not that I advocate it, but there are incredibly easy ways to shut down the
wireless side of the printers if you chose to. That’s all I’m saying.
I have heard in private that another school is having catastrophic issues with
8.2.160.0, so this may emerge as one to watch closer.
Thanks for sharin

It might be beneficial to share notes in case other schools are hitting common
problems. I'm wondering how everyone who is in the thick of it is faring with
back-to-school?
On this end, we are doing OK halfway to our expected total daily peak clients
(we're at 15K now high water mark).
