Licenses come in increments of 32 supported
MPs for optimum price performance throughout
the growth of your wireless LAN. It also features
2 Gigabit Ethernet ports which accept Small-
Form Pluggable (SFP) optics for 1000BASE-SX/
LX fiber connectivity, or 1000BASE-T unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) environments, 16 10/100 Fast
Ethernet ports with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
support, and comes with a redundant power
supply as standard.

) access points, and Mobility System
Software™(MSS™), MX controllers can offload
policy enforcement and data forwarding to the
MPs, resulting in optimized traffic flow, radically
reduced latency, and massive scalability.

The MX-216R combines L2 Ethernet switching,
stateful per user and per service firewalls, wire-
less intrusion protection, 802.1Q trunking and
per VLAN spanning tree (PVST+), complete wired
to wireless quality of service (QoS), and auto-
mated RF management. Clusters of MXs called
a Mobility Domain™ provide seamless roaming,
intrusion protection and RF management over
the largest single site wireless LAN deployments.
A Network Domain™ interconnects and distrib-
utes Mobility Domains to enable identity-based
networking across wide geographic regions.

MX controllers can be configured as a virtual
controller cluster to provide many-to-many
redundancy, without needing expensive hot
standby controllers. This enables NonStop
Wireless availability for all sessions, even voice
calls in the event that a controller goes offline
for any reason.

The MX-216R uses the same Mobility System
Software as all other Trapeze MX controllers.
