Hey hey! lol, Thanks so much for the welcome! I've been working with wireless for about 6 years now, but I'm just now getting a controller. Maybe something like welcome to 2005? Anyway, thanks for the clarification. I noticed on the sheet you told me to look at, it says that Mesh is available on the 1040 (after the upgrade to LWAPP). That would be pretty awesome, if true. Given that we are looking for mostly 2.4 clients, I'm pretty stoked on what I've seen so far. Now just Open Source the WCS and I'll be a super-happy camper lol.

Awesome. Thanks so much for your replies. Because I haven't messed around with lightweight APs (and WLC's for that matter), I wasn't sure what to expect, but was hoping for something of an elegant solution (wireless backhaul is a bit more elegant than repeating, imo). So, acording to some of Cisco's documentation (here this is what I was hoping for, that you both confirmed for me) a dual-band 1130 would work... does anyone know if a dual-band 1040 would work?

That is really strange. There is something about vlan 1 that is ringing a bell... do you have any other vlans on that switch, or just 798 and 1? Out of curiosity, what is your native vlan?

Be wary of that kind of thinking. Assume he's telling the truth. You should ask him to see if the SSID disappears when the unit is unplugged. I haven't purchased and LWAPP yet, but it would be kind of a neat feature to have a testing mode for out-of-the-box site surveys.

I thought someone with a bit more experience would have answered this by now. I read somewhere a long time ago that 24 clients was a good maximum... Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong here. These days though, it really depends on what your clients expectations are. If you are a hosiptal vs. an office vs. a dorm room, etc. your answers are probably going to be very different.

Have you tried a wired port? Plugging it in will check to make sure there isn't a connectivity issue somewhere else. Always a good idea before looking into the wireless. If everything looks good via a wired port, update the PS3. There may be a wireless bug fix you need. Once your device is up to date, give the wireless another shot and let us know what happened. Good luck!

I can tell you that Autonomous AP's have their radios off by default. I would guess the same would apply for LWAP's as well.

Greetings! My company is finally making the set up to a 5508 controller. w00t for single point of control! Anyway, I was wondering how repeaters function/are set up using a 5508. I did some Googling and couldn't really find a lot that jumped out at me regarding this. The only thing I really ran into was Mesh networking, but there is no way we'll be purchasing some 1500s as that would be incredible overkill to do some basic repeating. Just to clarify: this is stuff that cannot/should not be drilled through, so wireless repeating is a must. It is not the way I prefer to do things, but it is the reality that I'm dealing with. Sorry for such a n00b question, but we're about to drop (for us) a lot of cash down on a controller, and I need to make sure that the Cisco solution is right for us. Thanks in advance!

Greetings! I thought that my first post was clear, but apparently not. I understand the two types of 802.3af standards very well. Here are a few direct questions: 1) Did Cisco put out a POE switch that does not work with their legacy clients? 2) Is the hardware present within the switch for there to be a firmware fix for this (in other words, is the functionality for type b present, but not enabled via soft/firmware)? 3) Aside from wanting people to buy new gear, is there a reason that Cisco is moving away from backwards compatibility? I hope that clarifies my post.

Greetings; I convinced the powers that control my paycheck to stick with Cisco for small POE switch deployment. Yay! So, I opened up my shiny new piece of hardware (a SF302-08MP aka SRW208MP-K9-NA), plugged in a Cisco 1230 and an 1121 AP AND... nothing. I thought to myself, looks like Cisco is following the 802.af standard. I grabbed my crimper, swapped pins 4 and 5 with 7 and 8, and... nothing... again... Now, the whole reason I pressed so hard for this equipment is that I wanted to be certain that our Cisco devices would be supported. The weird part is that an older Linksys (by Cisco or whatever) POE switch works just fine. Knowing that there are two types of 802.af (one that delivers power via pins 1,2,3, and 6, and the other 4,5,7, and 8), it does not make sense that a switch (especially a Cisco switch) that says it complies with 802.af, would only comply with one type (I'm pretty sure the standard requires both). Do I have a faulty switch, or an unhealthy attachment to a company that I adore?
