    That's what it's looking like, Mario, if you're referring to IPSec tunnels

    GRE tunnels for other controllers or routers or for APs?

    GRE tunnels for Wired APs, Campus APs, Remote APs and Tunneled ports.

    Hi Mike,

     

    A campus AP uses one tunnel per SSID per radio. A S3500 wired AP may use one tunnel per port.

     

    How can I make sure that I am not exceeding my M3 controller capacity?

    Well, the M3 can do 8192 BSSID's with either 512 campus APs or 1024 RAPs.  You can do a combo of campus APs and RAPs, but you have to watch the ratio.  Hopefully the BSSID number will give you a better idea of the capacity.
