®
 8540 Wireless Controller is a 
highly scalable, service-rich, resilient, and flexible platform that enables next-
generation wireless networks for medium-sized to large enterprise and campus 
deployments. 
Product Overview 
The Cisco 8540 Wireless Controller provides centralized control, management, and troubleshooting for high-scale 
deployments in service provider and large campus deployments. It offers flexibility to support multiple deployment 
modes in the same controller: for example, centralized mode for campus, Cisco FlexConnect
 mode for lean 
branches managed over the WAN, and mesh (bridge) mode for deployments where full Ethernet cabling is 
unavailable. As a component of the Cisco Unified 
this controller provides real-time 
communications between 
the 
and the 
and is interoperable with other Cisco controllers.

Features and Benefits 
The Cisco 8540 Wireless Controller, optimized for 802.11ac Wave2 performance, high scale, and enhanced 
system uptime, supports: 
● 
Subsecond access point and client failover for uninterrupted application availability. 
● 
Extraordinary visibility into application traffic, using Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC), the 
technology that includes the Network Based Application Recognition 2 (NBAR2) engine, Cisco's Deep 
Packet Inspection (DPI) capability. This allows to mark, prioritize, and block to conserve network bandwidth 
and enhance security. Customers can optionally export the flows to Cisco Prime Infrastructure or a third-
party NetFlow collector. 
● 
Embedded wireless bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy classification engine that allows classification of 
client devices and application of user group based policies. 
● 
Deployment of guest access and Bonjour and Chromecast services in centralized deployments. 
● 
Software-defined segmentation with Cisco TrustSec
®
 technology, reducing access control list (ACL) 
maintenance, complexity and overhead. 
● 
Integrated Cisco CleanAir
®
 
technology, providing the industry’s only self-healing and self-optimizing 
wireless network.
