We are running a pilot project to deploy a centralize wireless solution
for our campus. The pilot consists of only about 20 Cisco1200 access points. We
are in need of Network Management solution to manage these access points. The NMS
would have to pretty much behave like what we already have into place for our
wired networks such as: alerts on snmp traps, thresholds settings, data
capture, administration, in general be able to proactively check possible shortcomings
on the infrastructure and help to troubleshoot problems. Once we fully deploy
the centrally controlled wireless network, there could be any way from 1200 to
1500 access points, so whichever system we choose must be able to scale to
these numbers.
I’m interested in knowing which wireless network management solutions
is preferred one from the audience on this forum. Your input will help me to
narrow down possible options.
Thanks a lot for any information.
