Installation and Configuration These controllers offer the highest level of performance and scalability for large-scale enterprise WLAN deployments. In addition, these controllers deliver WLAN services over an existing ethernet or IP infrastructure, protecting existing network investments while providing best-in-class wireless services.
Installation and Configuration Controller Models The controller comes in 2 variants—4402 and 4404. The 4404 controller has four front-panel slots for 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-T SFP modules, as described in the 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-T SFP module Quick Start Guide. The 4402 Cisco Wireless LAN Controller is similar, except that it has two front-panel slots for 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, or 1000BASE-T SFP modules instead of four.
Installation and Configuration The following figure shows the back panel of a 4404 controller: Figure 1 Note 4404 Series Controller The 4404 controller has two back-panel slots for future expansion modules, while the 4402 controller has one back-panel slots for a future expansion module. The controllers can accommodate a second, redundant power supply. Refer to the Cisco 4400 Series Power Supply Quick Start Guide.
Installation and Configuration The controller communicates indirectly with access points through the network. The following figure shows a controller connected in this way.
