the WLAN or SSID, with a different VLAN for each SSID

the AP deployment, with a different VLAN for each AP that is deployed

the number of devices, with a different VLAN for each 250 devices

insufficient fiber cabling, especially between buildings

lack of high speed uplink capabilities at the access layer

simplification of spanning tree protocol ad the access layer

need to extend VLANs across wider areas

The MCs cannot provide any level of redundancy for each other unless one is moved
into the other’s subnet.

The MCs cannot be in a cluster, and they must use Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
(VRRP) to provide redundancy for each other.

The MCs can be in a cluster, but the cluster will not support features such as stateful
failover.

Each MC can be the backup LMS for the other MCs’ APs, but it cannot be in a cluster
with the other MC.

The DSCP values place both voice and video traffic in the video VMM queue, so voice
does not receive the prioritization that is should.

The Aruba APs and controllers use different prioritization mechanism from WMM, so
they will not accept high priority traffic from the wireless devices.

DSCP is incompatible with WMM. The Aruba APs and controllers instead use 802.1p to
mark traffic to and from wireless devices.

The DSCP for wireless client traffic is concealed within the GRE packet on the path from
the AP to the
controller, and does not take effect.

Assign access layer switches IP addresses on a VLAN that is dedicated for switch
management.

Ensure that DHCP is enabled on only the switch Default VLAN.

Ensure that Telnet is enabled and set to listen on production VLANs.

Assign switches static IP addresses on the same VLAN on which APs are deployed
