CAPWAP tunnel through NAT interface

I'm not sure if anyone has tried this but are there any complications with connecting a lightweight AP through a NAT'd interface back to the WLC? I know I'll have to open 5246 and 5247, but are there any other issues that I should be aware of?

Is this specific to office extends ? I have an AP NAT'd with CAPWAP and I have no issues.

We have a neighboring hospital where some of our docs want to set up a clinic using their iPads back to our network. Right now, we have a NAT'd interface from their network to ours and I haven't been able to test setting up an AP through a NAT interface. I forgot about Office Extends and now remember from your Twitter updates from CL11. I'll probably go that route. Are there any issues that may come up from using Office Extends?

O/E is more for the remote home worker and doesnt support a number of things like roaming etc. If you have a small office (like 1 ap) size o/e could be an option, but not likley. There are limitaitions on how many wifi clients can attach to the AP.

I would look at HREAP. HREAP is designed for small remote locations and will allow you to local or central switch the traffic.

You ever do hreap ?
