We have a fairly robust VMWare environment that this could run on, thus my HA concerns would be somewhat alleviated (other than the VM crapping out).
#Cisco virtual wireless lan controller not passing vlan info license#
I've read up on this for a couple weeks now and admittedly it has an attractive price point (the base license seems to be a little under $500 on CDW, and that includes 5 APs), and it costs about $100 an AP (less as you buy the licenses in bulk). I'd rather get the beefier controller for future proofing. 2500s could work for now, but their max is 75 APs and it's possible we'd hit that ceiling. I'm prepared to fight that battle if I need to, but during my research I came across an alternative I had never heard of before, the vWLC.

Personally I think we could get by with 5508s (I'd rather have a pair for HA), but that's a considerable purchase. Cisco, Juniper, Brocade and more all welcome. Network blogs, news and network management articles. #Enterprise Networking Routers, switches and firewalls. Anything above must be approved by the board of directors. With the way the company is structured, purchases under $3,000 USD can be done with internal approval from the CIO. I wouldn't see us getting more than 20 - 30 more APs within the next 5 years from an expansion standpoint. While there are definitely some expansion plans, the foreseeable future leaves our growth fairly limited. To give a little insight, this is a health care environment. Every single one is running as an autonomous AP with PSK authentication, which I definitely need to fix (among other things). So I just landed a new position in an environment with around 50 APs across 12 locations.
