1) How many WAPs are you currently managing with a single Airwave
appliance?
95 APs
2) What is the (average) polling interval used?
5 Minutes
3) Do you have multiple Airwave servers, and if so, how many WAPs
managed on each one? How do you plan to scale--additional separate
servers, or a beefier single server?
We just have 1 server.
4) What are your server specs? (Vendor, OS, number of CPUs and their
speed, amount of RAM, number of active NICs, etc.)
Clone, Fedora, 1 CPU, P4 3GHz, 1GB RAM, 1 Nic
5) How is performance on your server? Do you notice performance
degradation over time? About how much memory is used under average
load? How busy are the CPUs under average load? How much network
traffic is generated from polling?
Seems to run pretty good considering its not a "real" server. Server
runs at 25-40% CPU utilization. Haven't noticed any perfromance
degradation over time, I only remember rebooting for Airwave version
upgrades. Not sure on network traffic.
Also, optionally:
6) How do you manage security concerns? (i.e. most Airwave processes
running as root, installed in /root, root ssh remote logins enabled by
default on default port, most components are written in Perl which can
easily be modified if the machine is compromised, compilers are
installed locally, etc.etc.etc.)
Inquiring minds want to know (and want to get the statistics we need
to manage the network).
Thanks in advance!
