Campus Wi-Fi 7
Do not use for SD-WAN or wired campus NAC except where 802.1X joins the SSID.
Procedure
- Spectrum: 5 GHz for density, 6 GHz for capable clients, 2.4 GHz for IoT only. Power and channel from a survey, not auto-max.
- MLO is a client capability. Do not require it. Fast transition (11r/k/v) stays on.
- Roaming: OKC, consistent VLAN, no layer-3 roam across buildings without an anchor.
- Controller: two nodes, config sync verified, certificates with 60-day alert.
- Verify: a walk test with retries < 10%, roam < 50 ms for voice SSID.
ssid CORP wpa3-enterprise 11r enabled band 5+6
ssid IOT wpa2-psk band 2.4 isolated
Anti-patterns
- Never raise 2.4 GHz power to "cover the parking lot".
- Do not mix guest and corp on one VLAN.
Safety
Controller failovers are a window. RF changes are surveyed first.
