Mobility express Wireless

[said belarbi]

Hi,

please can someone confirm that  the mode tunneling still exist in the controller mobility express ( 1852) as it was in lagacy controller 2XXX.

in other words , still the packet data from wireless clients (laptops and smartphone ) pass through the controller 1852 ?

The traffic is not processed from the "Controller elected AP". It is locally switched by the access point to which the clients are associated. It is similar to the well known FlexConnect Local Switch mode.

Yes , i know that It is locally switched by the access point to which the clients are associated.

but if the elected AP go down , the other AP will still process trrafic without passing through the controller.  ?

If the elected AP goes down, another will be elected on its place. There will not be any problems.

AS per my knowledge : yes it work same as old/Other controllers. Mobility Express is similar to Cisco FlexConnect. But client data is bridged locally at the access point
