Integrating WLC8.1/PI3.0/CMX10.2

[Jim Blake]

Is there any single document (or even a series of documents that gives a complete picture) of the process of deploying and operating the latest versions of WLC/PI/CMX?

I have experience with earlier versions, and the documentation I've got and found on the 'Net covers earlier versions, but the products are evolving so fast I need something directed to the latest versiosn so I can be sure to get the most out of the systems.

Thanks

Hi Jim,

Nothing much changed WLC - PI integration. Here is one of my notes to add devices to Prime using SNMPv3

In CMX 10.2.x things have changed a lot. First of all you need to decide CMX-Presence or CMX-Location is what you going to use (unless you have two instances of CMX). Again go through the 10.2.x release notes as all features in MSE 8.x is not available in 10.2.x. Also PI & CMX 10.2 communication is not working properly, so lot of reports related to location cannot run via prime.

Here is a reference notes for CMX-Presence installation (note that this does not require customer to have any PI, but CMX-Location do require PI)

Keep this compatibility matrix document to keep up with information on these product releases.

Hi there. Appreciate the outline. Our major concern right now is that there is no method for maintaining map data in CMX without manually re-pulling from Prime. Any roadmap for automating this data flow?
