Data Sheet
Cisco 5700 Series Wireless Controller
The Cisco
®
5760 Wireless Controller (Figure 1) is an industry-leading platform designed for 802.11ac networks
with maximum performance and services at scale, combined with high availability for mission-critical wireless
networks. Through the Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), it delivers
wire-speed performance with services such as advanced quality of service (QoS), flexible NetFlow v9, and
downloadable ACLs. Delivering on the One Network component of the Unified Access vision, the Cisco 5760
offers:
Wire-speed 60-Gbps throughput with services
Up to 1000 access points per controller and 72,000 access points in a cluster
Up to 12,000 clients per controller and 864,000 clients in a cluster
Network traffic visibility through flexible NetFlow v9
RF visibility and protection

Features
The 5760 Wireless Controller can operate in both converged access mode and centralized mode. Converged
access mode provides a hierarchical network design that distributes the wireless data plane at the access layer on
Cisco Catalyst
®
switches for maximum performance and scale. Converged access mode provides maximum
resiliency by constraining outages to smaller failure domains. Additionally, converged access mode delivers high
availability with access point stateful failover (access point SSO), making sure SSIDs are highly available and
have minimal effect on wireless clients. (See Tables 1 and 2)
