[c-nsp] wireless lan controller and remote ap

[Voll, Scott]

We are planning the same idea for next month.

According to what I have found is that if you terminate the wireless
users locally.... you loose functionality and total amount of AP's per
site that you can do this with is only 8.  but that doesn't sound like
an issue for you as you have only 45 AP's and 19 sites.

Look up HREAP on CCO for a little more info.   I got pulled off this
project for a VOIP deployment so I don't have much more then that.

Subject: [c-nsp] wireless lan controller and remote ap

Hello,

I'm interested in deploying a wireless lan in a school district.  There 
are 19 buildings connected via wireless bridges.  I need about 45 access

pointed in total and I was looking at the 4400 series of wireless lan 
controllers.  I was wondering if it is possible to have one controller 
centrally located and have remote access points in the buildings managed

by the controller.  The only catch is I don't want all of the traffic 
going back to the wireless lan controller, I would like the network 
traffic to go back to the main switch, because the users will be logging

in locally, and just the management traffic to go back to the
controller.

I have been getting different answers from many people including cisco 
pre-sales, so I was wondering if anyone had real work experience with 
this type of application?

Please let me know if I was not clear.
Thanks,
Dan.
