Wims2 is a single controller ?!

rbaeumer — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 06:27:50 GMT

Hello all,

I just got a new WIsm2 to work and I'm missing the second controller

on a 6500 the session slot 12 processor 1 comand brings me to the logon screen...

but session slot 12 processor 2 ends with an Error

Am I right that the new wism2 has/is only one controller other than the 'old' wism which has processor 1 and 2 ?

greetings

The wism2 is a single controller. We have two of them. We have been told that once the wism2 is upgraded to 7.3 code it opens up the licensing. It can support 1000 aps and has a 20gb uplink to the 6509. We are going to try 7.3 soon.

Yes. The WiSM-2 is a single controller that can support 500 or 1000 AP (depending on the firmware).

Unlike the WiSM-1, the WiSM-2 has either one or two 10 Gbps distribution ports. WiSM-1 only has four 1 Gbps distribution port per controller.

Wism1 was pretty much just 2x4404 on a linecard, which I'd consider "cheating" a bit to be honest. We've been planning to get two wism2 and my first question to Cisco was if the "cheated" the same way. I asked them if it was two 5508 on a single linecard and I got the reply. "The wism2 is like "ONE" 5508 on steroids", that answer made me smile. Anyway I think you have your answer a few times over now.
