Catalyst Express 500 Switch and wlan roaming problem.

[r.aurlund]

Hi everybody.

We are using Catalyst Express switches and air-1121G for a wlan network covering a hotel. When we set the smartport-setting on switch to "access-point" users cannot move from one access-point to another. Setting the smartport-role to "other" solves the problem.

Has anybody made the same experience ?

Hi

This is a known issue and the workaround you have used is the best but

this issue has been solved in the new IOS release

i would suggest you to upgrade the IOS for the Catalyst 500 and this should solve the problem

the IOS code is CE500 IOS 12.2.20.SEG

Hope this help

I have had the same problem. It has delayed my project launch for week. The SmartPort setting was Acces Point, changing to Other fixed the roaming problem.

However my CE500s already had software version 12.3(8)JA-Crypto which I presume is a newer version tban the suggested 12.2.20.SEG?
