WLC 2504 max AP support

[Marko Pribanic]

Hi all,

Does anybody know what is the maximum number of APs supported on Cisco 2504 WLC?

According to the Data Sheet it is 75:

But according to the config guide it is 50:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/7.3/configuration/guide/b_wlc-cg_chapter_01.html#ID263

I believe the correct number is 50, but I just want to be sure.

Is this a software limitation?

[Scott Fella]

Currently it is 50 and is a software limitation. That's why I say currently:)

yes, until 7.3 code only 50 APs are supported. 75 APs are supported with 7.4 code.

So what does that mean for the WiSM-2?  Will the number of WAPs (from 1K) expand?

[George Stefanick]

That's interesting. 75 aps for the 2500 series. That's a little scary at the same time.

Hi Leo

Don't think there's going to be any change on wism2 on supported AP limit.

Hi George

whenever new client added to WLC it needs some memory to seat the client on wlc, guess 2500 got room for that.

i think throughput of 2500 also getting doubled to 1gb from 500mb to increase performance.

Hello,

But code 7.4 is not orderable on the CCW, can we download it ?

Thanks

Yes you can download it as long as you have a support contract. You would need to purchase a license to increase you ap license count also.

Does the WLC 2504 support any number of AP-s by default? I am not talking about the eval license but permanent license ?!

[Scott Fella]

None by default. You purchase the license with the purchase of the unit.

Agreed,

7.3 code only 50 APs  are supported. 75 APs are supported with 7.4 code.
