Wireless Configuration Method Speed Test Shootout :: Part 3
This is the third and final article in a series focusing on seeing which configuration methods are fastest or slowest in the CCIE wireless lab. The idea is to test each method under a variety of likely configuration scenarios that you would experience in the real lab and see how things stack up.
Check out the supporting Speed Test video playlist on our YouTube channel.
This article focuses on autonomous APs. I set up 3 different scenarios, as listed below:
- Configuring WDS using local RADIUS and registering 2 APs
- Configuring two SSIDs with their associated VLANs
- Configuring a few settings under the radios
If you want to watch the actual configurations, you can check out the companion video to this article over in our YouTube channel. It shows how I arrived at the configuration speeds and the methods that I used. You may be able to pick up a few tips or tricks for faster configurations by watching how I do things.
WDS
For this test, had to configure local RADIUS with a network device and user account, then configure AAP1 as a WDS with associated authentication methods. Finally, I registered both AAP1 and AAP2 Continue reading
