Introduction
The Cisco WLAN Controller (WLC) module (WLCM) enables Cisco ISRs and Cisco 3700 Series Routers to
manage up to six wireless LAN (WLAN) access points (APs) and simplifies the deployment and management
WLANs. It is equivalent to a Cisco WLC 2006 put into an NM form factor. The only difference is that the
NM−WLC (WLCM module) has only one Fast Ethernet port internally connected to the host router and the
external Fast Ethernet port on the NM faceplate is disabled and unusable. This document explains how to
configure the WLCM for different scenarios.
