Good thread. The number one worry about autonomous mode (IOS) APs from Cisco is that they no longer seem to have any effort in developing it. Yes, they will "support" it but that's not where the R&D is. If you read the various information from the Web site, they migrated WLSE (autonomous NMS) to

Any IT system ends up being a series of trade-offs, these new wireless systems are no different... I would argue that what of what is gained is also balanced by a lot that is given up, depending on what system is bought. Whatever you plan on buying- talk at length with customers that have already g

Few more tips- >From the console watch for the LWAPP Discovery, then the LWAPP Join. Chances are, you'll have to manually pull in the SSC on these before you'll get the join. if you never see the Join, you may have an IP address in the AP but it won't work. And- to make things even more interesti

Another thing to note is the port on the switch that the AP is connected to. Double check to make sure they have access to the VLAN that is serving your wireless network. Sound foolish I know, but can be overlooked. Justin Jorge Bodden wrote: All, How does one know if the upgrade was success

Also beware- we had to put many of our switches/Fat APs both set to 100 Mb/Full Duplex to avoid mismatches. Unfortunately, the LWAPPs almost demand auto/auto. I find that most of them that attach to switch ports that are nailed to 100/Full will come up at 100/half duplex on the AP. Unfortunately, t

We are using the layer 3 environment and I did have one initial problem that's not in the upgrade notes. If you are using layer 3, your controller management is on a different subnet, and your APs are currently configured with statics addresses. Before you run the conversion code (c1200-rcvk9

It works the same as the native LWAPP AP's. You can pass the controller info via option 43, L2 if it's on the same Ethernet segment, or by creating an A record for the controller- cisco-lwapp- controller.yourDomainHere. Don't have any in production, but we tested the "flash from IOS to LWA
