Hi,

We have the following requirements for our new project regarding Wireless,

1- Clean air solution

2-Rogue AP detection

3- Only Virtual Wireless Controller due to virtual datacentre in Cloud

Solution,

We are planning the following solution, Please can someone verify if we are purchasing correct equipment or recommend  any better solution

1- Cisco 3502i AP  for clean air

2- Cisco Mobilty Engine  for rogue AP detection

3- Cisco virtual LAN controller vWLC ( small version)

Thanks for recommendations,

We can not have any cloud base Wifi solution due to security concerns. We are having our virtual DC in secure datacentre with VPN tunnels for over internet and between all three remote sites.

Initially we consider vWLC in DC and 1800 AP roughly 40 in total in all remote sites  in flex connect local switching mode with Corp and Guest SSIDs. Now we need clear air and rogue AP detection  requirements , therefore might add Cisco Mobility engine or express.

Regards.

What is the WAN speed of the remote sites?

Hi,

1G at DC, 500M/1G internet at HQ (tunnel will be build with 2120 ASA) , remote sites will be 100M internet (tunnel with 5516-X ASA)

100 Mbps to each remote site? Forget it about using Flex. Configure the APs to be "Local" mode instead.

Thanks Leo,

We will consider local mode, so vWLC in DC will only have control traffic and all the Wifi traffic at site will be locally switched, but I think local switching mode is the only option in flex connect instead of central switching when you deploy vWLC.
