WLC 8500

---

Hey All,

Regarding the ports in Cisco WLC 8500,sir Ronnie has mentioned that 2x 10gig ports can be aggregated and connected to a nexus or catalyst switch. If so , how will i connect the AP to the WLC, if i aggregate both ports, i think i will not be able to connect to the central switch that has all the AP's connected to it.

With Regards

@Saif-Yaseen,

You would connect the AP to the same vlan on the switch that the WLC is also connected to. Unless you're trying to directly connect a single AP to the WLC. If that is what you're trying to do, then I cannot do the aggregation.

Here's a link: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/8500-series-wireless-controllers/113695-8500-dg-00.html

The very last paragraph

Link Aggregation (LAG)
LAG across the 2x10G interfaces is supported in software versions 7.4 and later. The LAG configuration allows for an active-active link operation with fast failover link redundancy.

Note: The additional active 10G link does not change the total controller network throughput.
