Cisco Wireless Roaming - Redundancy

[ivansalazar]

Hi,

I'm looking for 2 types of solution:

1. Wireless Roaming without a controller

2. Access Point redundancy - Two Access Point with the same coverage but in a Active/Standby scheme. Is this posible?

Thanks.

Ivan

Roaming is going to work so long as your configuration matches on the AP. i.e the PSK and SSID are the same.

If you are doing 802.1X then you would want to configure one of the AP as a WDS master so that you aren't having to authenticate all the way back to AAA on a roam.

WDS Configuration:

You can also configure Hot Standby on an AP: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/wireless/software/guide/RolesHotStandby.html#wp1037487

HTH,
