WDS - are VLAN's needed on a single subnet

[mo_vigilante]

Hi guys,

 

I have a quick question for those who have used WDS.

 

I'm going to deploying WDS soon and we are on a single subnet (/24 range). Is there any need to create VLAN's on the switches so network performance isn't impacted for the users?

 

I could be deploying images around 20-30 client machines at once so wanted to make sure without VLAN's setup on our subnet it wouldn't affect the users day-to-day activity (printing, accessing resources, internet etc).

 

Thanks.

Mo

Seems a bit like hard work VLANing try this

 

Jason Yoder, MCT: Can you throttle your WDS deployment bandwidth?

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing that.

 

I'll use that link to throttle the maximum bandwidth WDS can use for multiple deployments.

 

Thanks again.
