Hi Netgear Community,
Before I contact Netgear support to give feedback in regards to the quality of their wireless controllers I wanted to seek clarification from Netgear community about an is...
Hi David,
We have received feedback from Netgear that this feature is being worked on but that was 2 weeks ago and I have been monitoring this thread for feedback ever since. In my organisation we usually have fortnightly project status meetings. We have just completed this fortnights meeting were we received updated directives from leadership on how they would like this situation resolved in a way that is in line with our organisations business directions and expected outcomes.
In fact I was following DaneA's advice in comparing the WC9500 and 7600v2 and I find them basically identical (nearly a direct Copy-Paste) but in major differences in licensing / AP number, total simultaneous client numbers and feature set.
An easy way to confirm if it is a weakness in the WC7600v2 is to test the WC9500 to see if it provides the Frame-IP-Address, if it does then it means the WC7600v2 firmware is broken IF it doesn't then we have a product or even a product range that may not be fully compliant with RFC standards depending on how people choose to interpret / implement them.
Let me put it simply, do you think you would have purchased the WC7600v2 if it said in the technical specs that "We do not provide the Frame-IP-Address as part of our radius accounting" but the Aurba, Cisco and Unifi products do.
It makes one wonder how many large enterprises use Netgear kit in their core. As I mentioned above we inherited this configuration and we are currently doing the best we can with it.
We are just glad Netgear is at least coming to the table, somewhat at the moment.
Regards
Peter
