We had room for 6k concurrent users before xmas. That's was bumped up to 10k
over the holidays and we're seeing 11k trying to associate at timesso we
still don't have enough...

I can see only two other options...
1. You get or force , if possible, both devices on the same vlan/network
broadcast domain.
2. Setup an adhoc network for the task.

We have 2 wireless labs, and went the route of just having a WPA2/PSK SSID for
them and drop those users on his own managed vlan/subnet.
The admin who looks after the lab PCs does not give out the key to
anyonewell at least we hope so...its in his best interest not to because it
will eat
We keep our APs on separate vlan/ip space and users on subnets that are
wireless traffic only.
If there are issues with a particular user I know from ip address right away if
they are wired or wireless.
Plus having the wired and wireless users share the same IP space allows them to
poke
Is any one using this on a per-scope basis with an ISC DHCP server ?
We're an Aruba shop an currently find our masters via dns, but are also
exploring giving the master controller address via DHCP option 43.
We currently have this working on a limited basis and have it defined in a
particular
We mount all APs below the ceiling and have only had only 1 stolen and 1
vandalized over the past 5 years.
I find it much easier to trouble shoot when u can actually see the unit and the
pretty lights (the tunnel up light on Aruba APs especially), its a real pain
to have to carry a ladder
The dummy AP is a simple and interesting ideaI wonder how many users would
complain about not having internet access, or any access...depending on how the
ap is configured.

If there aren't too many ldap users, can u not just create an account on AD ?
Make them special case...

We started with 3 hour lease times, had pool issues, then tweaked a few times
and ended up at 20min lease times.
We've been running like that for over a year now.
You may have to experiment a bit to find what lease time works best for your
network
Our controllers (Aruba) are set to flush
We had similar issues, and have found a happy middle with 40 min max lease time
with our controllers (Aruba) having a user timeout of 38 min.

I don't have much experience with a single channel deployment, but without even
getting into vendor preferences or specifics I can't see how a single channel
can gain any perfomance in such an unpreditctable and dynamically changing
environment as far as other devices, and wireless networks
Assuming you you have multiple client side vlans already configured on your
controller, you assign those vlans to the vap (currently your only specifying
one vlan, just comma seperate and add another ). Now when a user associates,
there is hash done on the client mac address and they are placed
We did an Airwave trial (monitor only - 8 controllers), the function to config
your controller just isn't there yet, but for stats it's great.
We still just use the gui on the master and are happy with that...configs don't
change much, so it's not something that has to be to slick and most
There is a gotcha with the Aruba 5000/6000 chasis we hit regarding PoE
You have to have the 400watt power supply's (there's a 200watt model) or the
PoE won't work.
