Hello,

- Cisco WLC on a dedicated VLAN ?

Thanks

There are no recommended value for max AP per vlan. /24, /23 subnet size is most common.

If you have a large number of APs then it is recommended to separate AP mgmt from WLC mgmt to prevent all AP broadcast reach & burden WLC.

Totally Agree With Rasika..

Just my 1 cent...

As per my experiences (50-80) is more then enough on 1 VLAN. This action prevent from re-association during network failure"

If you are using the same VLAN from WLC management & AP then dont put more then 20-25 AP(Again as per my real life exp.) otherwise broadcast messages generated by APs & some discovery messages may get dropped and it will make the AP joining process slower.

My recommandation is that you must keep the WLC and AP on different subnet.
