WLC Location
The flexibility of Cisco Unified Wireless LAN solution leads to the following choices about where to
locate WLCs:
locate WLCs:
•
Distributed WLC deployment—In the distributed model, WLCs are located throughout the campus
network, typically on a per building basis, managing the APs that are resident in a given building.
The WLC(s) is connected to the campus network using the distribution routers within the building.
In this scenario the LWAPP tunnels, between APs and the WLC typically stay within the building.

Each of the distributed WLCs could be configured with as a separate RF group and mobility group,
so long as the WLAN coverage is not overlapping between buildings.

Centralized WLC deployment—In this model, WLCs are placed at a centralized location in the
enterprise network. This deployment model requires the AP/WLC LWAPP tunnels to traverse the
campus backbone network. An example of a centralized WLC deployment is shown in

Note in the example below that the centralized WLCs (a pair of WiSMs in Catalyst 6500's) are not
shown in a specific building. A centralized WLC cluster is connected via a dedicated switch block
