We are running 2 sets of 8510’s and 1 set of 5520’s on 8.3.133.0. We are running 802.11k/v/r and it has made a tremendous difference in our roaming (and many less complaints). We have an IPv6 issue with 8.3.133.0 with IPv6. On PCs, it times out. On MACs it times out and recovers. This is not a production network- but it will be once we can find code without this bug. Otherwise 8.3.133.0 has been great.

While this isn’t answering your question, I thought I might share what we have. We have close to 30,000 wireless devices connected and have our F5 load balancing 6 VMs running FreeRADIUS that in turn query our eDirectory backend through LDAP. One feature that you should make sure is enabled is “config radius ext-source-ports enable”. On 8540’s, you should see this if it’s on: (Cisco Controller) >show radius queue Max Radius Queues Per Server..................... 16 …[snip]… Thanks, Joseph B.

We utilize Cisco WLC 8540’s (2 HA pairs), Cisco APs (mostly 3702’s) and Cisco ISE for portals, authentication and authorization. We were seeing the ISE authentication service jump up in latency and we would get calls that users could not connect to eduroam. We have determined that our size and number of authentications, particularly at each class change event, are such that we should be using hardware load balancing. We are in process of setting that up but each class transition results in a short period where authentication latency can get to be a problem and users have a less than desirable experience. During the time we are building this out our engineers are wanting to enable 802.11R (Fast Transition) on our controllers. We currently do not support this feature on the WLCs. We are running 8.2.166.0 code on our WLCs and we have heard other have issues with this code release. While we are not experiencing the same results or hitting the same bugs, I am concerned that turning on this feature might have ramifications related to the code release we are running. My question to the group is who has used 802.11R and would you be willing to shoot me a private message with configuration and/or your results?
