Hi expert

 

In Catalyst 9800-L interface, what I know is 2 units of copper or SFP+ port is used to connect to uplink like core switch.

How about remaining 4 units of copper port. What is the used of this port?

What I understand is we connect AP to switch. Not to WLC

4 ports can be used to connect AP also, but there is a Limitation. if this is small enviroment test Lab, i can connect AP to WLC and test it.

 

For Real Live environment, i suggest not to connect any AP to WLC and use Access switch is suggested.

 

Look at the isntalaltion guide :
