Hi Vishal,

This is the Firewall section, you might want to move it to Wireless section for right support.

Thanks,

Varun

ok.

someone told me that this firum will help you.

Well the Forum is correct - Cisco support Community, but this is the Firewall section, you would need help for Cisco wireless controller, so this needs to be moved to Wireless section.

Thanks,

Varun

If i understand your question. You want to access the WLC from an outside IP address? Why not use NAT? Also, if you have a 5508 you can levarge OfficeExetnds in a very similar fashion. There is a NAT check box.

Another option, place the WLC in the DMZ and give it an outside IP address.

Always remeber to block uneeded ports.

ok, wlc is conneted to 4506 e core switch. Does this switch has a feature of nating? and we use 4404.

I know little about your design. Is your WLC in a DMZ? What does your deisgn look like, can you comment on that ...?
