Cisco 5700 Series Wireless Controller
The Cisco
®
5760 Wireless Controller (Figure 1) is an industry-leading platform designed for 802.11ac networks with
maximum performance and services at scale, combined with high availability for mission-critical wireless networks.
Through the Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), it delivers wire-speed
performance with services such as advanced quality of service (QoS), flexible NetFlow v9, and downloadable
ACLs. Delivering on the One Network component of the
●
Wire-speed 60-Gbps throughput with services
●
Up to 1000 access points per controller and 72,000 access points in a cluster
●
Up to 12,000 clients per controller and 864,000 clients in a cluster
●
Network traffic visibility through flexible NetFlow v9
●
RF visibility and protection

Features
The 5760 W ireless Controller can operate in both converged access mode and centralized mode. Converged
access mode provides hierarchical network design that distributes the wireless data plane at the access layer on
Cisco Catalyst
®
switches for maximum performance and scale. Converged access mode provides maximum
resiliency by constraining outages to smaller failure domains. Additionally, converged access mode delivers high
availability with access point stateful failover (access point SSO), making sure SSIDs are highly available and have
minimal effect on wireless clients. (See Tables 1 and 2.)
