Wireless controler 2500 client limit

[o_unzueta]

Im making a design for a customer that will have around 200 wireless users.

We were thinking in the WLC 2500, because the number of APs will be around 30.

But the problem is that from time to time, the client organizes events, and in these events the number of wireless clients will be around 600.

In the WLC2500 specs te maximun numbers of users is 500, but i want to know if this is just a recomendation, of if the WLC will drop the connection attemp # 501.

Thanks.

I believe that is a hard limit of 500 in any state. That means authenticated devices and non authenticated devices. Per the doc

Supported Client Count - 500 (In all STATE)

Supported Tag Count - 500

Then i will have to think in the WLC 5500 for this scenario.

Thank you
