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.
