Redundancy for maxed out 4404

Hello,
We currently have a 4404 controller that is approaching 100 AP’s (their max).  The boss would like to add redundancy into the project.  Which leaves me with a lot of questions and I am fairly new to cisco WLAN controllers.
While a second 4404 would cover for redundancy would that be true if the AP’s pass the 100 mark?
If I get a bigger controller that can support more than 100 (5508?)can the existing 4404 still work in the plan as a backup?
Or do I just need to purchase two bigger units and auction off the 4404?
Sorry if this is a dupe post but my searches are sending me in circles without an real answers and the boss would like an answer soon.
Thanks in advance,
Todd

While a second 4404 would cover for redundancy would that be true if the AP’s pass the 100 mark?
This line of questioning is going to start becoming very common because the Cisco has announced the End-of-Sale (EoS) of the 4400.
Personally, the 5508 has a faster CPU.  Cisco claims that the inter-controller roaming of the 4400 is 18ms but the 5500 is 9ms.  Big improvement.
If I get a bigger controller that can support more than 100 (5508?)can the existing 4404 still work in the plan as a backup?That's a perfect line of thinking.  To answer your question:  YES.  Get the 5508 and move all your APs to the 5508 as the primary and leaving the 4400 as a backup.Or do I just need to purchase two bigger units and auction off the 4404?
You got the funds?  Excellent.  Then use the 4400 as a lab.  Or you can auction it.  Whatever floats your boat.  By the way, if you have wireless in your house, put it in there.  *wink!*

    It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

  • Why does the sampling rate for my DAQCard-70​0 max out at 6578Hz regardless of the number of channels I'm sampling?

    My DAQCard-700 is acting funny. I am using LABView 6.0.2 on a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop for continuous analog input. For some reason my DAQCard-700 won't let me acquire multiple channels unless I create virtual channels in max and then run AI Config with a list of the virtual channel names. That's fine (but weird), but I max out my sampling rate at 6578 Hz, which is the max sampling rate if I would have sampled all 16 (Referenced, single-ended) AI channels. But I'm not -- I'm sampling 6 channels, as proven by the "number of channels" indicator in AI config and just looking at my data. If I sample just one channel, I can get up to 105248Hz. Is my card f
    ried, or am I missing a hidden setting somewhere? I have the latest NIDAQ.

    Hello;
    By the description of your problem, everything is pointing us to a hardware failure.
    There aren't any tricks to acquire multiple channels with that card.
    The best way to go about this is to have NI to fix the board for you.

  • HT202807 I have a MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.3.3 Photos. Please recommend an external drive best for connecting to TC and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD

    I have a 13" mid 2011 MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.10.3 Photos. I have reduced apps and files as much as possible so the only thing left is to move the photos.  Please recommend an external drive compatible for connecting to my TC 802.11ac and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD which will free approx 15 gbs. of space. I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice. I know the "optimization" is supposed to adjust for this condition but I don't trust that assertion.I only have 2gb free space remaining. 

    I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice.
    If you really only want such a small capacity drive.. what about just buying a 32GB or 64GB USB memory stick.
    You should still have a back up to the internal hard disk of the AC TC.
    Or just buy a WD Passport.. don't waste your money buying 500GB as it is only a bit more to buy 1TB and a bit more again for 2TB.. For future use if you do buy a USB hard disk buy 2.5" type.. and buy 1TB or if the budget stretches 2TB..

  • Maxing out on RAM

    Hey
    My old powerbook came with 128, I added 512 to start then exchanged that with a 1gig so it was running on 1.128. No problem at all. Spec said max was 640.
    I now have the macbook pro 2.16 C2D 15.4 screen. It came with a removable gig ram and I had a gig from my previous MBP. However - I feel 2gig is not enough. This MBP says it can only do 3gig ram. Recent models can do 4. I'm wondering if anyone has maxed out the ram on a 3gig version and run it on 4.
    I'm thinking of pullng out both 1gigs and sticking 2x2gig in it. Just want to make sure it is possible.
    Appreciate any help.

    Hi,
    one benefit of 2x2GB is that you still have the 'pairing' advantage of some small percentage more speed when the memory is accessed.
    And secondly, if you decide to get a Santa Rosa MBP in the future you can use this memory for it.
    Other than that, you are right, not much use.
    Have Fun

  • What is the best type of xml storage for max performance in 9i r2

    We have many schema based xml's of 1MB in xdb (9.2.0.5)
    and our database is getting slower by every new xml
    delete_resource (300 sec) and create_resource (300 sec ) take a long time
    and if I ftp a schema based xml out the xdb takes a long time ( 200 sec )
    Our system works like this , the xml comes in (ftp) ,the xdb validates the xml and then the xml is archived and the
    last step, the xml data is extracted and put in normal tables
    no xml updates or xml constraints
    I have now defined in the schema, one main table and I use oracle types for complextypes and xdb:defaulttable =""
    in 10g I don't have problems, but our production system
    are 9.2.0.5 and it takes a lot work and downtime to change that
    This goes well in 9i by files smaller then 500k
    what is the best schema configuration for max performance ( create / delete resource and ftp out )
    thanx edwin

    I changed
    maxOccurs="unbounded" xdb:SQLName="TRANSACTIONRANGE" xdb:SQLCollType="TPF_MASTER_D_T_RANGE_COLL_01"
    into
    maxOccurs="unbounded" xdb:SQLName="TRANSACTIONRANGE" xdb:SQLInline="false" xdb:defaultTable="TPF_MASTER_D_T_RANGE_TAB"
    this gives me very good performance
    the total run is now 6 times faster
    and to ftp xml out of the xdb takes now 2 seconds

  • My hard drive is about maxed out, what are my options

    I have a MacBook that is about 5 years old.  My hard drive is about maxed out.  Trying to determine if it is worth trying to get a larger hard drive, whether I just go to a portable hard drive (a bit of a pain since I travel so much) or something else.  Don't think I can even upgrade to Mountain Lion because of lack of hard drive space.  I love my Mac, but am looking at possibly going to an iPad for travel as the Mac is heavy and I have to carry two computers (work and personal).  Considered buying a new Mac, say an Air, but don't have that kind of cash to drop for it. 
    Would appreciate any opinions out there?  If I upgrade the hard drive, what kind of money are we talking about?

    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application SuperDuper. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

  • Web gallery max out at 500 images

    Hi, I'm using LR 3.5 and when I creat a web gallery it maxes out at 500 images, even though there are 776 photos in the gallery and all 776 are selected. In fact, the image number below the preview shows 1/500 instead of 1/776. When i look at the uploaded website it also only shows 500 images. In Library mode I see all 776 images, and also in Web mode I see all 776. When I switch from Library to Web I see the "Update Web Gallery" in the top left corner of the window. It shows the progress window: "Export image fliename-001" and continues up to image 500, then stops. So it appears it is only exporting 500 images.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hopefully you appreciated I was being semi serious! Many pros would see part of their job being to whittle a big shoot down to a reasonable number to present to the client, and secondly I'd question if going through a slideshow in sequential order is the best way to review a large number of pictures - better than a grid of decent-sized thumbnails? Those are obviously judgement calls and I don't like a 500 limit being imposed.
    Now, to make your updated version survive Lightroom updates:
    Copy the Flash gallery's folder
    Paste it into Win C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries or Mac Users\john\Library\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries
    In galleryinfo.lrweb, change the ID - just add your initials
    In galleryinfo.lrweb, change the title to something like "Flash Gallery (edited)"
    When you restart LR, you'll see "Flash Gallery (edited)" in the Layout Style panel

  • Where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable.

    where to find the best application for cleaning out my MacBook Air with OS X 10.7.5? I've been using MacKeeper but believe it's slowing down my laptop considerable. Thank you.

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • IPhoto 6.0.1 Maxes Out CPU

    I have a new MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz running OS X 10.4.5 obviously and my iPhoto 6.0.1 (Universal) running in the background occupies 97-98% of one of the CPUs for as long as the program is running. I have a few thousand photos in the library and do not see any disk activity in Activity Monitor (like it was caching thumbnails or something).
    Has anyone else had a similar experience with iPhoto or know what it is doing? I let it run all night and it is still happily maxing out that one CPU (10:42:09 hh:mm:ss currently).

  • Spontaneous volume max out

    Hi
    recently, while recording with garageband 4.1.2, the volume will spontaneously max out, causing pure static for about 5 minutes, but then go back to normal. if the recording is left running, the static will come back again and the same process will repeat. if I stop the recording tho, sometimes the volume max out will disappear and the recording will be fine (as if the max out never occurred), but other times the max out will remain.
    any thoughts? I use a shure sm57 mic into a Edirol FA-66 firewire recording box. It's worked fine for the past 4 months, just in the last week has it started acting up.
    any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers!

    You could try reloading the firmware but it might be a hardware problem - button stuck down, maybe? If so, try exercising it. PB

  • Query Builder results seem to max out at 500 lines.  How to change?

    Hi all,
    Some of out Application Express users are using the Query Builder tool for ad-hoc reporting. The idea is to run the SQL to extract the data, then download to MS Excel. The Query Builder results seem to max out at 500 lines. I want to increase that value. I searched all Application Express forums for 'query builder output max 500' and then 'query builder output' and did not find the answer.
    How do I change the 500 line limit in Query Builder results?

  • Why does my memory max out at 70% (using iStat) @ 2x1GB RAM 667mhz

    Hi,
    I'm using iStat as a monitoring service and I have 2x1gb RAM installed and a 2.4 core2duo processor. I run multiple programs at once (Firefox, Dropbox, MS Office, iTunes) and my memory hovers around 71% all the time (it gets sluggish around 70%). It never has gone up or past 74%. I figure it should max out around 100% right? I recently upgraded to 2x2gb or 667 memory. Will I still have the same problem of hitting a threshold? How do I get rid of this ceiling? Thanks!

    Hi bmose14,
    I'm not entirely sure how iStat Pro monitors RAM (I always use Activity Monitor for that) but I know Snow Leopard changed how RAM is monitored. Previously in Leopard if you had, for example, 2GB of total RAM it would show that as available and then just immediately allocate the RAM that's being addressed by the GPU. But in Snow Leopard, I find that I have 1.75GB of total RAM (as it doesn't calculate the 256MB of VRAM my shared GPU is allocated).
    I'm thinking you have the Intel GMA X3100 GPU (144MB of RAM) and as such that's being calculated here, in addition to the RAM being used by the programs and OS. With that being said, I don't think you can ever reach the 100% mark. I know I fired up iStat Pro on my machine (prior to responding) and I'm also hovering around ~80% despite Activity Monitor showing about the same as "green" in the pie chart.
