I know this is off-topic (sorry) but was just curious what your experiences
are/were with enterprise-wide wireless architectures from a Layer 2/Layer 3
perspective. For instance, if there are more users than a typical Class C
address space can accommodate, how is the switching/routing engineered?
VLANs based on RADIUS attributes? Bridging on the WAPs? Interestingly,
from my few wireless designs, adding wireless to an already wired network is
adding an exponential increase to the number of nodes which is presenting a
host of other issues like addressing, security, and performance/QoS
considerations. In fact, one client will be doubling the size of their
network once wireless has been added. Just wondering what others are
doing...

Thanks,
Edwin
