The network architecture at the data center consisted of the Cisco Flex 7500-Series Wireless Controller,
Aruba 6000 Controller v6.0.0.1, Motorola RFS 4000 v5.0.3.0-001R, Cisco ISR 3925 providing a Site-to-Site
VPN, a file server (Windows Server 2008 R2) and Cisco ACS 5.2 authentication server running in VMware
ESX. At the branch office, we had Cisco Aironet 3500-Series and 1040-Series Access Points configured in
FlexConnect mode, also known as HREAP (Hybrid Remote Edge Access Point), Aruba AP 105 in Remote AP
mode, Motorola AP 650, Cisco 3925 (providing VPN and Call Manager functions), and wireless clients
(laptops and Cisco 7921G IP phones). The data center was linked to the branch office via a WAN connection
through a VPN, throttled down to a T1 with an Apposite WAN emulator. The branch office contains two APs
from each vendor, a wireless PC client, two wireless Cisco VoIP clients and a wired Cisco VoIP phone. 

Each controller is configured specifically for a branch site. This allows wireless users at branch sites to access
the internet directly instead of going back to the data center then to the internet. Internal traffic stays local and
internet and data center is forwarded out a different path based off of an access rule in the router. This branch
deployment saves bandwidth across the WAN and increases speeds for branch users. The two access points
are located approximately 30 feet away from each other with the lowest signal strength configured. The low
signal strength on the access points will ensure that the signals don’t overlap, making it easier for roaming
testing. 

The Apposite Linktropy WAN Emulator

 was used to simulate the T1 WAN link

between the data center environment and the branch site. The bandwidth between the two sites was limited to
a 1.44 Mbps link, latency was set to 40ms on both ends and packet loss set to .1000%. 

Each vendor controller holds the same configurations to guarantee fair testing. The testing environment is
unchanged during each vendors testing. 

The tests in this report are intended to be reproducible for customers who wish to recreate them with the
appropriate test and measurement equipment. Current or prospective customers interesting in repeating these
results may contact

System Under Test and test tools used in this evaluation. Miercom recommends customers conduct their own
needs analysis study and test specifically for the expected environment for product deployment before making
a selection.
