Cisco Virtual Wireless Controller Deployment Guide, Release 7.5
Prerequisites
•
Existing APs must be upgraded to 7.5 software before joining a virtual controller.
•
For Cisco 600 Series OEAP to associate with Cisco Virtual Wireless LAN Controller, follow these
steps:
steps:
1.
Configure the OEAP to associate with a physical controller that is using 7.5 or a later release and
download the corresponding AP image.
download the corresponding AP image.
2.
Configure the OEAP so that the OEAP does not associate with the physical controller again; for
example, you can implement an ACL in the network to block CAPWAP between the OEAP and the
physical controller.

Note
The Virtual Controller in release 7.5 uses Self Signed Certificates (SSC) as against the Manufacturing
Installed Certificates (MIC) in the traditional controller. The AP will be able to validate the SSC
certificate provided by the virtual controller before joining. See AP Considerations in the following link:

Topology
In order to properly implement and test the Cisco vWLC, a minimal network setup is required, similar
to the diagram shown in this section. You need to simulate a location with a FlexConnect AP in a
centrally switched deployment, and/or with the addition of local and remote sites with local DHCP
(better if there is also a DNS and local access to Internet).
