Ron's got a great post here. A solid RF Design is crucial for the long-term success of your WLAN.

Just to round it out and compliment the education recommendation, here's a link to the Extreme PS data sheet: http://learn.extremenetworks.com/rs/extreme/images/Professional%20Services%20Data%20Sheet.pdf

Hi Ron Once controllers are upgraded to 9.X will the newly installed access points upgrade automatically to 9.X or any extra config has to be done...... I have read the guide which have referred to, I cannot find how to setup an active-active high availability....... And regarding your earlier answer for same SSID with different vlans, do I need a trunk port on controller carrying all those vlans or single L3 management interface IP pointing route towards core is enough.. And what about switch side port on which ap is connected. Is ap vlan as untagged is enough or I need to create user vlans also as tagged on that port.

It's a good idea to set the timezone before installing the license key so the messages in the log have the correct timestamp in case you run into a problem.

Also in your case with 2x C5210 in a pair it's mandatory to set an extrenal NTP server so the controller pair is in sync.

V9 of the controller software introduced the license pool feature = the controller availabilty pair share the licenses into one pool.
So in your case it doesn't matter on which controller you activate the AP licenses, they will share a pool together as soon as availabilty is activated.

You'd find the controller firmware on the Exrtranet....

I don't run into any major issue with the latest code V9.21.01.0179.

If you don't have an account please contact the partner who sold you the hardware.
