Cisco Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller Guía De Instalación

The Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller, designed for 802.11n performance and maximum scalability, 
supports up to 500 lightweight access points and 7000 clients, making it ideal for large-sized enterprises 
and high-density applications. A core component of the Cisco unified wireless solution, these controllers 
deliver wireless security, intrusion detection, radio management, quality of service (QoS), and mobility 
across an entire enterprise. The controllers work in conjunction with other controllers, Cisco Wireless 
Control System (WCS), and access points to provide network managers with a robust wireless LAN 
solution.

The Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller supports the OfficeExtend access point, which provides secure 
communications from a controller to an access point at a remote location, seamlessly extending the 
corporate WLAN over the Internet to an employee’s residence.

In order to best use this guide, you should have already designed the wireless topology of your network. 
Because the radio resource management (RRM) feature automatically detects and configures access 
points as they appear on the network, it is not necessary to have any access points on the network in order 
to install and configure a controller.
