I am little confused. What is the preferred or best method of restoring a re-imaged FTD (1000 series) that was part of an HA pair? Is it better to run a restore from backup... Or is better to simply configure the device with a barebones config and se...

I am researching Cisco EWC APs. After reading some of the documentation, I am a little confused. The initial configuration, assuming we have separate Employee and Guest SSIDs / VLANs / Networks, notes the AP should be connected to a switch via a trun...

Hello, I'm looking to refresh our wireless network. The network is relatively flat -- 15 APs in one building with two networks (one internal with WPA2 Enterprise auth, the other guest with webauth.) We are currently still using two WLC2504s (We do no...

I too have had the same question and spent quite a bit of time trying to understand why it's necessary. I would assume it has something to do with blocking the forwarding of broadcasts beyond the firewall (but wouldn't you want that half the time? Li...

Thank you for the information! So it seems you are saying it'd be better to go with a controller over the APs with an embedded controller? I would assume going with a hardware (or virtual) controller would be more of an enterprise solution for consid...

Yes, very true. Unfortunately, Packet Tracer isn't the best option to gauge correct behavior as I've seen plenty of weird things with it. I guess at this time it's sort of a mystery as to why this happened. It's a bit disconcerting that one side may ...
