Difference between "device" and "client" i Cisco Prime

[RahmaSallm]

Hi everyone.

I was reading through Cisco's Quick start guide for Prime 3.2 and when it comes to Prime's scaling, I can't understand the difference between the term "devices" and "clients". For example, it says under the Professional installation the that total number of wired an wireless "devices" is 14,00 but says that the wired "clients" is 50,000 and the wireless "clients" is 150,000. I don't get it. how can the total of wired and wireless clients be more than the total of wired and wireless devices.

Hi @RahmaSallm

Device is: WLC, AP, Switches,router,etc.

Clients is: Smartphone, Laptop,etc.

Let´s say you have 14000 Access Points and 150000 clients associated to it, then, you have reached to the Prime Professional limit.

 Follow the same idea for other combinations.
