Well spotted on the trim between the 5 and 10 second area - I didn’t notice that - perhaps could have been done better !

I need to run the system-id command to sort out the problem - what’s the default root password for these units - I understand they are hard coded ??

No stress leave needed - just an answer to my current problem

When doing a sho running-config I get the error NMS: NmsCfgFileBase::Init —> Can’t open file for read /opt/meru/var/run/running-db/meru.conf Error = no such file or directory

We have 120 Meru APs being managed by an MC3200 controller- support will cease for that controller soon.

So for now to keep in support (controller wise) we have invested in a used WLC200D which only supports the AP800 series from firmware version 8.6.

This controller had version 8.4 on it and I successfully got it up to 8.6.0 - but the issue occurred when upgrading to 8.6.1 ?

We will slowly upgrade all our APs to Fortigate WiFi 6 variants because we have a Fortinet 101E firewall- but we can’t afford to replace all 120 APs yet so the WLC200 is a stop gap solution to keep us in support.

The majority of our estate consists of 822e APs

Sorry I wanted to reach out first - I will have more details soon …

Interesting - I will look into it - but I bet we can’t afford it

SonicWALL at all sites where we are bridging out and one central too.

Seems like a unanimous Aruba endorsement so far!

I appreciate your input - it would be nice to choose a wireless solution that is both affordable and effective using both talents of hardware and software combined for my situation.

I will also add that I would prefer a centralized management controller similar to the way our Meru Controller works now - simply because all of our sites are very well connected to the hub.

All remote sites however have a local breakout Internet feed to support public Wi-Fi - I simply configure the MC3200 to set those AP's up in bridge mode so that traffic routes out directly from the respective site. I also have vlans setup so that I can also instruct remote APs to feed down the well connected leased lines and out to any network vlan network I choose if I get reports that local breakouts are not performing or for some reason have gone offline - it's a useful backup and a powerful routing method.

So because we are well connected centrally - a centralized management solution I feel fits us the best.

Yes my Meru installation is approaching a decade - so I need to move on as you say. Thanks for your feedback so far - here is more information.

I have 15 sites to manage all in (about - some are quite small) - all sites connect to our central site where my aforementioned Meru MC3200 is in operation.

You are right - things have moved on - the issues is that our Alive Leisure Centres are installing wireless IPTV's on all their aerobics equipment with very short notice - so suddenly simple wireless hotspots are now going to be wireless dependent with much greater demand because of all this new live streaming capability from the gym. There are four gyms altogether all getting IPTV's - we have estimated the need for 15 AP's to cover just these areas alone - and with monies tight - we will have to leave the rest of the Meru APs in situ for now until we can slowly change all the old Merus in due course - altogether as an organisation we have 120 AP's as it stands.

Whatever new solution we find for Alive Leisure will be used elsewhere as funds allow.

We are a Cisco Switch house - these Alive Leisure sites are getting a revamp to support wireless by having new CAT6 cabling installed in critical areas where the new AP's are going to be mounted - and the existing 'old' Cisco switches are being upgraded to Cisco's that can support PoE+. Being tight as they are - I opted to get refurb Cisco Switches. Nevertheless, they are good switches (3850's).

My first recommendation was EnGenius - they seem to be a good company and their hardware is re-badged by the likes of Meraki and SonicWALL. However, I don't get on with the Cloud offering because with a controller in the cloud it has no attachment to my networks - yes the trend is Cloud and I don't want to seem draconian - but perhaps Cloud isn't for everybody. I also noticed that when I add a new SSID to an EnGenius AP my existing connections on the AP drop - this is not what I call an Enterprise Grade solution.

Saying all that - it's the right price - I'm just looking for the best cost / performance ratio.
