[cisco-voip] 7912's and roaming

[Craig M Staffin]

Matt,

I could be wrong becasue I have not dealt with it alot but I thought the 
new Light weight access points and useing the LW controller you could 
accomplish exactly what the WLSE did and you do not need a 6500

I know that we have this working for Data at one of our smaller sales 
sites but I have not had a chance to test phones on it as of yet

I think the key here is seamless roaming between access points.  This
cannot be done unless you introduce WLSE, and WLSE requires a 6500
(although they may have released other hardware for this, I haven't
checked in almost a year). 

There is WLSE Express, but I'm not sure if roaming is a feature of this
product.

Hi,

My company owns a hotel, and we are looking to bring 7912's to replace
our entire Nextel infrastructure. The issue we are encountering is the 2
separate networks (guest rooms, and the conference rooms).  My hotel
technology director wrote this summary:

***************
We are looking at creating (2) networks on property that will envelope
the entire hotel with wireless access. One network will cover the
sleeping rooms and back office areas and one will cover just the
conference rooms. Each network will have a distinct IP range and will be
maintained by a different vendor. Each network will have wired and
wireless access. We are looking to buy Cisco 7920 phones for our
associates. We want to make sure these phones will be able to seamlessly
roam between the two wireless networks. The AP's on both networks will
most likely be Cisco 1200's. 
 
Could we effectively accomplish the routing these phones needs if both
networks had a Cisco 3750 switch as their core. Most likely the Cisco
Call Manager will be directly linked off the Sleeping room core switch.
***************

Our VOIP consultant has told them that a 3750 core could not handle
this, and they would need to move to the 6000s. I am responsible for
keeping this project in budget, and changing the infrastructure is going
to make my life hell. How have people done this in the past?

Thanks,
Avidan
