Don't see any major problems with that - you need to remember that logically, the APs connect directly to the controller (regardless of what's in between - layer 2 or layer 3) and all wireless traffic will first 'touch' the wired network at the point...

Try setting your layer 2 security to WPA or WPA2 rathr than 802.1x. If you're using a client that supports LEAP, it should support WPA as well (latest version of Centrino drivers support more than you could ever want!)Personally, now WPA and WPA2 ar...

Your thinking is absolutely sound on this, and I was asked exactly the same question during a 'demo' session with a customer. Needless to say, I had no response at the time so I asked Cisco directly.The only answer that I got was that the WLC isn't ...

You're right in your assumption. Data traffic travels from the client to the AP. The AP then encapsulates this data using LWAPP and forwards it to the Controller. The WLC then de-encapsulates (?) it, processes the traffic as necessary and then dro...
