Wireless Network Infrastructure Configuration

The Cisco Unified Wireless Network design and deployment guide should be followed for the overall configuration of your WLC(s). This section provides additional recommendations specific to Vocera® Communication Badges.

Note: Changes are left unsaved if you do not press the Apply button before you move to the next step.

Complete these steps under the Controller top−level menu:

1.Change Ethernet Multicast Mode to Multicast.

2.Set the Multicast Group Address to 239.0.0.255 (or some other unused multicast group address).

3.Set the Default Mobility Domain Name and RF−Network Name to your network design.

4.Disable Aggressive Load Balancing.
