[sertorivs]

Hi Team

I have an urgent question , my customer wants buy a couple of CT5508 in HA Cluster in Central Site, t he rest of remote sites would have controlled Aps

The question is In the case of lost connectivity wan lines, What´s the end users issue?

I mean, end users will be supported by wireless services locally by remote APs or not? new end users would attach to APs or not?

Regards.

Hi..You can use HREAP/Flexconnect Solution

In this method there is a mode in whihc you can use local switching(mean once you lost the connection from Centrel site your remote AP will still provide the Wireless access and they will mapped to local vlans)

Check this docs:
H-Reap Design and Deployment Guide

Depends which mode you configured:

• Central Authentication, Central Switching
• Central Authentication, Local Switching
• Authentication Down, Local Switching
• Local Authentication, Local Switching
• Authentication Down, Switching Down

Yes it can provide the connection even in the case of reboot.

Just read once these types of mode: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wireless-lan-wlan/81680-hreap-modes.html#cl
