Hi All, I am new in SDA, may I know how can I connect my WLC will it be directly to my Border Node or can I host my WLC centrally in my DC? Thanks

 Both scenarios is possible. 

This is how your first scenario would look like

Hi @Flavio Miranda , does it mean that if I have 5 fabric sites, I should have 1 or 2 WLCs in each fabric sites? Can I just put my WLC at my DC but still using Fabric Wireless?

 Just now I saw on that document this note.

"Note: Ensure that the WLC is physically located on-site and does not sit across the WAN. Fabric APs must be in Local
mode and need less than 20 ms latency between AP and WLC"

With that note, It seems you can do both scenarios. The WLC needs to be connected to fabric,
