Cisco 2951 with a couple EHWICs

You still have not bought a WISP Switch? :tounge:

My favorite one is the WS-12-250-AC

Same here! :hurray:

I'm really missing VRF-Lite in the EdgeRouter. Could be so nice to have different VLANs OSPF routed. Think about letting others into your network. No problem. Give them their own VLAN....


I haven't had any pause frame issues since I swapped my switches from TOUGHswitch Pirate4 to Netonix :thumbsup:

That said I'm afraid that I will experience the problem again some time. Maybe not since I'm swapping out all PtP links with AF5X or PowerBeam AC (Only very small sites, where AF5X is not affordable) and later all Rockets M5 with Rocket AC...

Well you "may" have a problem eventually as you use EdgeMAX routers.

I was talking to Matt Hoppes and he said Ancheng will eventually put Flow Control support into the EdgeMAX Routers but it is not high on the priority apparently? But the good news is that Flow Control is supported in the hardware they just have to enable it via software change.

I can not stress enough how important it is to carry Flow Control all the way back to a routed point in your network, if not all you are doing is putting more and larger buckets under the first bucket which they too will fill up and start dropping packets.

So until you have Flow Control from AP to Router your just kicking the can down the hallway which when it does catch up with you the issue will be worse.

The alternative is to have an AP that has a full blow router in it with enough CPU and Memory of course.
