Cisco Mobility Express WLAN with 8821 Wireless IP Phone

[Trent Cutler]

I'm looking for any design recommendations, resources, (or gotchas) for a Cisco Mobility Express WLAN with the 8821 Wireless IP Phone.

• The 8.3 Mobility Express Release Notes listed the 8821 device as a tested device
• The 8821 Deployment guide lists Wave 2 APs as supported but does not call out Mobility Express as supported.
• I see that starting in 8.4 Mobility Express supports Proxy ARP.

Can anyone else add anything else? Ideally, I'd like to drop a 3504 pair in, but the customer wants to know if Mobility Express is feasible.

Thanks!

Trent,

The lack of mention of ME in the 8821 DG in fact means that this setup is not officially supported.  Which doesn't mean that it won't work .. but what it does mean is that, if the customer should open a TAC case, and if we should need to escalate to the 8821 team for help ... they can (and likely will) tell us to go away, because it's not officially supported.

Hth,
