Hey everyone,
I’m planning to deploy ExtremeWireless (IQE) and would love to get some guidance on the installation and configuration process. Since IQE is designed to enhance Wi-Fi performance by optimizing traffic and prioritizing applications, I want to make sure I set it up correctly for the best results.
Key Installation Steps:
Pre-Deployment Assessment:
- What are the key considerations before installing IQE-enabled access points?
- Are there specific network infrastructure requirements (switching, routing, bandwidth)?
Hardware & Firmware Requirements:
- Do all Extreme Networks APs support IQE, or does it require specific models?
- What are the recommended firmware versions for optimal performance?
Configuration Best Practices:
- How should IQE be enabled and fine-tuned in ExtremeCloud IQ?
- What are the best QoS settings to prioritize mission-critical applications?
- Are there specific VLAN configurations needed to ensure smooth traffic flow?
Integration with Existing Network:
- How does IQE interact with existing switching and SD-WAN solutions?
- Any known compatibility issues with third-party network devices?
Performance Monitoring & Troubleshooting:
- What are the key performance metrics to monitor after deployment?
- Any common installation mistakes that could degrade network performance?
If anyone has experience with installing and configuring ExtremeWireless (IQE), I’d appreciate any step-by-step insights, common pitfalls to avoid, or recommended settings for different environments like offices, stadiums, or educational campuses.
Looking forward to your expert advice!
