Clients not able to join more 256 nos

[searskarthik]

Hi

We have using wireless controller CISCO 2125 with 8 nos LWAP 1252, including AP's getting the IP from windows DHCPserver (172.29.70.0/23), when clients reaches 256 nos in controller , then further not able to join in wireless network.

DHCP vendor class or user class will solve this issue. pl guide me .

thanks

Hi Karthik,

the 2125 only supports 256 clients max. And anyway that amount of clients on 8 APs is already way too much.

Are you saying that no more clients can join after that ? or no more APs can join the WLC ?

Well, it's totally expected then as it's the maximum amount of clients supported by the 2125.

If you have that amount of client you should look into having more APs and a more powerful WLC. That limit is not just there for marketing purpose. It looks like your network is under-powered compared to its real usage.

Regards,

Nicolas
