    Posted Jul 01, 2013 06:56 AM

     

    I have AP 93 connected to controller 3200 in two ways .

    1) some AP are connected in campus mode

    2) Some Ap are connected in RAP(remote ) Mode over MPLS link

     

    Forwarding mode = Bridge for the both cases

     

    Question :

    When i am doing authentication with controller how much is the bandwidth  consumed by  Each AP ??


    Is it continious ? 

    ?

    Please comment .

    Answer.

     

    Very little and it only happens when the user is authenticating.

    Like cjoseph said is not much, 802.1x BW requirement is between 1-5k depending on the type of EAP method you are using.

    As we discuss with our Aruba partner , told that around 100kbps per Ap is required in RAP mode...

    Thanks fo your page ..

     

    I have one more dout  suppose i have 40 user are connected to AP (Access-Point).IN RAP mode

    Whenever user trying to connect the SSID all authentication & 802.1x control packet goes to controller through MPLS .

     

    Now can you provide me the bandwidth consumed by All 40 user between Access-Point & Controller .(Only Authentication & Controlling) anyway in RAP mode your normal traffic never goes to controller.

     

    Waiting for your reply

     

    Thanks
