Cisco Adaptive wIPS Introduction
System Scalability
A Mobility Services Engine (MSE) can be managed only by one Prime Infrastructure, which has design
implications when scaling the network. It is possible to have multiple Mobility Services Engines
managed by a single Prime Infrastructure.
implications when scaling the network. It is possible to have multiple Mobility Services Engines
managed by a single Prime Infrastructure.
Use the following scalability facts when designing a system:
•
PI can support a maximum of 15,000 Access Points on a high-end server. This limit of 15,000
includes both client-serving Access Points and Access Points in wIPS Monitor Mode. wIPS and
Data APs can be intermixed at a variety of ratios to reach the upper limit of 15000 Access Points per
PI. These ratios are dependent on environmental RF conditions, density of the existing WLAN
installation and the required level of security monitoring.

•
Each wIPS mode has a different recommended deployment density. For local mode with wIPS, we
recommend a density of 1:1, meaning that every AP should be in Local Mode with wIPS. For
Monitor Mode APs we recommend a density of 1:5 and for the AP3600 with the WSM module, we
recommend 2:5. This is shown in the table below.

Note
Only Monitor Mode wIPS requires separate Access points for data.
•
A Wireless LAN Controller can support running local mode, monitor mode, local mode with wIPS,
and local/flex connect mode with the WSM module all concurrently. Each access point uses an AP
license.
