Solved: What is the maximum value for Maximum Allowed Clients?

CCC3 · ‎09-24-2023

On WLC WLAN
'Maximum Allowed Clients'
I saw that this setting exists.

I would like to know the maximum value for this setting.

additionally
Can I set 'Maximum Allowed Clients' per AP rather than WLAN?

*WLC - 5520

The number of clients that you can configure for each WLAN depends on the platform that you are using, for 5520 try value of 20000

config wlan max-associated-clients max-clients wlan-id

per radio limit is 200 clients max.

config wlan max-radio-clients client_count

refer this document for mode details.

Because of CSCvy08682, the answer is <15 wireless clients (max 25) per AP (910x, 911x, 912x).

NOTE: This restriction does not apply to Qualcomm (QCA) APs, like the 913x, 916x and 917x.

If there are >25 wireless clients, the Broadcom (BCA) APs (910x, 911x & 912x) will quickly run out of memory and crash.

Because Cisco will not be fixing this bug, it is recommended to keep the number of wireless client to <25 &/or reboot the AP daily.
