WLC2112 shows 6 APs only

[Madzid Kahvedzic]

Hi Guys,

Recently I purchased AIR-WLC2112-K9, but when I logged in I saw that system shows only 6 APs supported (I made print screen in addition).

I'm running IOS v. 7.0.116.0 and I saw that there was some problems with earlier versions of IOS, but not this one.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Go to Controller > Inventory.

What is the Model number?

Hi leolaohoo,

This makes me more nervous now:

Burned-in MAC Address............................ 30:E4:DB:32:1E:00

Maximum number of APs supported.................. 6

NAME: "Chassis"    , DESCR: "2100 Series WLAN Controller:6 APs"

PID: AIR-WLC2106-K9,  VID: V05,  SN: JMX1536414D

Kind regards,

Unfortunately, you can't upgrade the support license from 6 to 12.  You were sold a 2100 that only supports 6 APs.

Problem is that 2112 was purchased and serial is ok.

I'll raise case with CISCO, but thanks anyway.

How big is your network?  Frankly, I will never recommend anyone purchasing a 2000/2100/2504 WLC unless it's used for lab purposes.

WLC5508 is my recommendation.
