Abstract

Wireless LANs are an essential part of enterprises of all sizes and Wi-Fi 6 is the latest generation bringing enhanced performance and implementing 2.5GbE uplinks from AP to switch. Furthermore, Cisco Systems implements multiple 10GbE ports on its Catalyst WLAN controller. Juniper Networks provides high- performance switching ideal to serve as a network fabric for high-performance Wi-Fi 6 wireless networks.

Juniper Networks commissioned Tolly to evaluate the interoperability of its Juniper EX4400/3400/2300 LAN switches with the Cisco Systems WLAN solution as implemented in its Cisco Systems Catalyst 9800 WLAN Controller & Cisco Catalyst 9115 Series Wi-Fi 6 Access Point.

The Juniper Networks LAN switches and the Cisco Systems Catalyst wireless WLAN solutions demonstrated interoperability across all functionality tests and illustrated interoperability with the 2.5GbE AP uplink and 10GbE WLAN controller link aggregation groups.
