Overall Satisfaction with Cisco 8540 Wireless Controller
Cisco 8540 Wireless Controllers are being used in our organization to tie in all our wireless Cisco gear and our many different wireless networks into an easy-to-manage, and easy-to-use centralized management system. It solves the problem of having several separate systems to manage directly.
- Nicely made hardware
- Large but strong rails that can keep up with the weight
- Redundant power supplies and fans for great backup
- Still trying to get the hang of Cisco Smart Licensing
- Could be easier to configure the initial controller setup (a better wizard?)
- Not sure its going to be in everyone's network budget
- Positive impact: Time savings for staff setting up new access points
- Positive impact: Not having to worry about devices just going down for no reason
- Negative impact: If you're budget is small you're going to have a tough sell on these
