Question,
We have Cisco AIR-AP1232AG-A-K9 access points. We recently set a specific SSID to a max-association 20 clients. My question is, what happens when the access point reaches it's 20 clients? Does it reject the 21 client trying to connect or does it kick off a client to and lets the client connect?
The other questions i have is, since the only clients that are connecting are RF guns which connect through a telnet session and only transmit plaint text, could we connect more the 20 clients per access point?
Thanks,
Joel Serrano.

What's the reason behind this restriction ?

It should refuse the new connection, not dropping connected device.

If you have a requirement to associate more than 20 device, then I would modify that number to allow that. Typically AP radio can handle 100+ associations (check the datasheet for exact number)

A. The maximum number of client associations that the access points can support depends on these factors:
The maximum number of client associations differs for lightweight and Autonmous IOS access points.
There might be a limit per radio and an overall limit per AP.
AP hardware (16-MB APs have a lower limit than the 32-MB and higher APs).
