I've done a number of controller-based installations in residential locations. Recently I attempted using IAP-103's and it didn't go well at all. Luckily I had a 7005 controller and just converted all of the IAP's to campus AP's. The issue I experienced was once I configured the first IAP & it rebooted one of two things happened. First either the new SSID wasn't appearing and couldn't connect to it with my laptop. Second, the newly provisioned AP couldn't communicate with the other 6 AP's. Essentially I was able to get the first IAP provisioned & working most of the time, but adding the subsequent IAP's wasn't working at all.
All of the documentation I've read explains clearly how to setup the very first IAP, but I haven't found anything solid that explains adding the rest of the IAP's to the new cluster. Am I missing something simple here. I keep hearing that this is supposed to be totally easy, but my experience was anything but. Also, when you're dealing with multiple VLANs, what is the best practice for switchport configuration?
Also, as far as residential & Instant are concerned, I'd love to hear what others have used for routers in this type of deployment. Thanks in advance!
