Mobility Exchange MX-216R
The MX-216R is designed for data center, or distributed wiring closet installations, and enables seamless and secure deployment of enterprise class wireless networks over any existing L2/L3 network without disruption. The MX-216R supports up to 192 access points. Licenses come in increments of 32 supported MPs for optimum price performance throughout the growth of your wireless LAN. It also features 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports which accept Small-Form Pluggable (SFP) optics for 1000BASE-SX/ LX fiber connectivity, or 1000BASE-T unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) environments, 16 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support, and comes with a redundant power supply as standard.
Operating in conjunction with Trapeze Mobility Point® (MP®) access points, and Mobility System Software™(MSS™), MX controllers can offload policy enforcement and data forwarding to the MPs, resulting in optimized traffic flow, radically reduced latency, and massive scalability.
The MX-216R combines L2 Ethernet switching, stateful per user and per service firewalls, wireless intrusion protection, 802.1Q trunking and per VLAN spanning tree (PVST+), complete wired to wireless quality of service (QoS), and automated RF management. Clusters of MXs called a Mobility Domain™ provide seamless roaming, intrusion protection and RF management over the largest single site wireless LAN deployments. A Network Domain™ interconnects and distributes Mobility Domains to enable identity-based networking across wide geographic regions. MX controllers can be configured as a virtual controller cluster to provide many-to-many redundancy, without needing expensive hot standby controllers. This enables NonStop Wireless availability for all sessions, even voice calls in the event that a controller goes offline for any reason. The MX-216R uses the same Mobility System Software as all other Trapeze MX controllers. For more information about the security and networking capabilities of the MX-216R, please read the Mobility System Software data sheet.
