Recommended design between branch and HQ

[Mohamed Abdallah]

what is the recommended design between HQ and Branch :-

1- we have WLC in both side (in HQ and Branch)

2- The WAN link between Branch and HQ is very good .

3- all internet traffic , Mail traffic , File sharing server , and any application must be go fro Branch to HQ .

4- Security server including ISE are in the HQ .

5- we need to unified all WLAN with security in Branch and HQ .

are we need auto anchor design or just configure WLAN on the Branch with the same parameters as HQ ?

also what is the limitation and consideration when using autoanchor , is this related to number of users and if this impact during rooming .

the WAN link speed is very good between Branch and HQ

Auto Anchoring typically used for Guest wireless service. Let's say you have guest SSID in branch & HQ. You do not like guest traffic terminate on your branch & want them to assign IP block from HQ (typically in DMZ range). In that case you can use anchoring for that SSID.

I would do anchoring for such SSID and all other SSIDs configure HQ & BR in similar fashion as you have WLCs in both location.

Thank you  Mr Rasika for your fast response ,

Could you please to verify that when we configure auto anchor the below actions occurred:-

1- Local Conversation between two clients on Branches must go through WAN link .

Regarding to rooming:-

1- What the type of roaming when client roaming between controllers on the branches

2-What the type of roaming when client roaming between two AP  on the same controller.
