For medium campus wireless deployments scaling up to 250 Cisco access points and 16,000 clients, 7 mobility
controller switches (with other mobility agent switches operating as mobility agents in their SPG) can be grouped
together in a mobility group with guest access provided by guest anchor controller in the DMZ, as seen in
Figure 11. If there is no guest access operational, 8 mobility controller switches can be grouped together in a
mobility group.

For typical large campus wireless deployments scaling beyond 250 Cisco access points and 16,000 clients, the
converged access allows the option of operating the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Switches as mobility agents, peering with
a software upgraded Cisco 5508 or WiSM2 Wireless LAN Controller, or a Cisco 5760 WLC operating as mobility
controller, as seen in Figure 12.
