Thanks, but are there any other advantages? For example Instant AP will be considred as 2 AP for NMS POV (The real AP & the Logical Controller), so that will affect NMS dimensioning & performance, and so on..
I'm looking to gather all advantages of having the MC 7200 over going controllerless.
Thanks.
If your customer has 100 access points at a single site, using a MC 7200 will allow them to configure a single network port to a layer 3 switch to configure all the networks that flow in and out of the system. Using an IAP network, that would require configuring 100 ports. Again, choosing a 7200 would be centralized control.
If for the same 100 access points, the customer has 10 sites, it would not be cost or management effective to have a controller at 10 sites; they would just put 10 access points at each site.
IAPs are more for distributed environments and MC is for more centralized environments.
