Hi Ravindran,   Thanks for the response and the link.   I am not looking for dot1x and MAB on the same SSID.   The combination that I am looking out for is wpa2-psk + mac authentication via Radius. ... View more

Thanks Patoberli for the response.   Is MAC authentication with Radius for WPA2-PSK SSID even supported? ... View more

Thanks Patoberli for the response.   So I believe there are two things that could be derived from our understandings so far:   1. We may or may not get the advantage if we are considering higher VM sizing (20 vCPUs and 64 GB ram) then what is stated in deployment guide (16 vCPUs and 24 GB ram) for professional installation of Prime over VM.   2. Even though the advantage in higher VM sizing is not clear, but at the same time there are no downside if one is considering higher VM sizing for professional installation of Prime over VM.   ...

Thanks Rasika for your response.   As per VM spec requirement from deployment guide for professional installation, we would require only 16 vCPUs and 24 GB ram. From my experience from the past, this are very mild requirement to satisfy the scale-ability requirement (150,000 Wireless Clients) as depicted from the professional installation over VM. Thus I would want to consider higher specification in VM sizing ie 20 vCPUs and 64 GB ram, to match with the specification of Gen-2 Appliance.   My concern is will using 20 vCPUs and 64 GB ram in VM sizing is equivalent to having a Gen-2 Appliance wherein even more higher scale-ability is promised (200,000 Wireless Clients)? ...

Thanks Patoberli for the response. Does is mean that if I scale my VM for 10 Cores/ 20 Threads and 64 GB Ram then I would be able to attain the scalability of a GEN-2 appliance? The limit that we foresee to exceed is wireless clients going upto 180,000. ... View more

Thanks Pieterh.   This is indeed a major drawback of not having MSE with CAS enabled in the network. This would be required if one intends to see the map location of alarm despite of having CMX in the network ... View more

Hi Rasika, //Rasika: Prime is only to update maps in CMX, nothing else can be done through prime with respect to CMX//   Had been always of the opinion that we have lot to obtain from CMX-Location as compared to MSE-CAS. However there are many limitations imposed by not have MSE-CAS. For instance, not being able to see the "Map Location" of triggered alarms. This is indeed a major limitation. Having both MSE-CAS along with CMX-location will not make any sense though :)   So we will continue to lose map locations of triggered alarms so long as we have CAS service disabled on MSE?   Reference to duplicate thread opened for same query: https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless-and-mobility/do-we-require-cas-service-despite-of-having-a-dedicated-cmx/m-p/3837630#M108185 ...
