Cisco Systems OL-8335-02 manual Four AP-Manager Interfaces

Chapter 3 Configuring Ports and Interfaces

Configuring a 4400 Series Controller to Support More Than 48 Access Points

Figure 3-16 Four AP-Manager Interfaces

This configuration has the advantage of load-balancing all 100 access points evenly across all four AP-manager interfaces. If one of the AP-manager interfaces fails, all of the access points connected to the controller would be evenly distributed among the three available AP-manager interfaces. For example, if AP-manager interface 2 fails, the remaining AP-manager interfaces (1, 3, and 4) would each manage approximately 33 access points.

Follow these steps to create multiple AP-manager interfaces.

Step 1 Click Controller > Interfaces to access the Interfaces page.

Step 2 Click New. The Interfaces > New page appears (see Figure 3-18).
