I have a dilemma. I do some consulting work for a school and we currently run several Aruba IAP-105's. The guy here at the school that helps with problems during the day found a "good deal" on some Aruba AP-105's on ebay. You can probably see where this is going now, but we do not have a controller for these, and the last thing I want to do is try and sell them back on ebay or something like that, so I want to purchase a controller to run these couple of APs, and possibly throw my IAPs on there so I can manage them from a single point. I have found some older controllers (200s and 800s) on ebay for cheap, but what are things I should be considering here? Looks like the limit for the 200 is 8APs and the 800 is 16APs, but is there anything additional that I will have to buy, i.e. licensing, or can I just plug this thing in, configure it and go?
Thanks for your patience, I have to admit I'm not familiar with any of this since I've only used the Instant APs, and I'm sure I've said something stupid in the paragraph above.
