Page 60: Distribution System Ports
Cisco 4402 controllers have two Gigabit Ethernet distribution system ports, each of which is capable • of managing up to 48 access points. However, Cisco recommends no more than 25 access points per port due to bandwidth constraints. The 4402-25 and 4402-50 models allow a total of 25 or 50 access points to join the controller.
Page 61: Service Port
The Cisco WiSM’s controllers use the service port for internal protocol communication between the Note controllers and the Supervisor 720. The Cisco 2100 series controllers and the controller in the Cisco Integrated Services Router do not have Note a service port.
Page 62: Interfaces
For Cisco 4404 and WiSM controllers, configure the AP-manager interface on all distribution system ports (1, 2, 3, and 4).

Page 64: Service-Port Interface
Only Cisco 4400 series controllers have a service-port interface. Note You must configure an IP address on the service-port interface of both Cisco WiSM controllers. Note Otherwise, the neighbor switch is unable to check the status of each controller.
Page 65: Wlans
3-4, each controller port connection is an 802.1Q trunk and should be configured as such on the neighbor switch. On Cisco switches, the native VLAN of an 802.1Q trunk is an untagged VLAN. Therefore, if you configure an interface to use the native VLAN on a neighboring Cisco switch, make sure you configure the interface on the controller to be untagged.
Page 66: Configuring The Management, Ap-Manager, Virtual, And Service-Port Interfaces
This practice is extremely important for optimal performance of the controller. Cisco recommends that you assign one set of VLANs for WLANs and a different set of VLANs for Note management interfaces to ensure that controllers properly route VLAN traffic.

Page 85: Enabling Link Aggregation
With LAG enabled, a 4402 controller’s logical port supports up to 50 access points, a 4404 controller’s logical port supports up to 100 access points, and the logical port on each Cisco WiSM controller supports up to 150 access points.
Page 86 When configuring bundled ports on the controller, you may want to consider terminating on two different modules within a modular switch such as the Catalyst 6500; however, Cisco does not recommend connecting the LAG ports of a 4400 controller to multiple Catalyst 6500 or 3750G switches.
Page 87 LAG. From the 12.2(33)SXH and later releases, Catalyst 6500 IOS software offers the exclude vlan keyword to the port-channel load-balance command to implement src-dst-ip load distribution. See the Cisco IOS Interface and Hardware Component Command Reference guide for more information.
Page 88: Link Aggregation Guidelines
When you enable LAG, all ports participate in LAG by default. Therefore, you must configure LAG • for all of the connected ports in the neighbor switch. When you enable LAG on the Cisco WiSM, you must enable port-channeling/Ether-channeling for • all of the controller’s ports on the switch.
Page 89: Using The Gui To Enable Link Aggregation
Set the LAG Mode on Next Reboot parameter to Enabled. Step 2 Choose Disabled if you want to disable LAG. LAG is disabled by default on the Cisco 4400 Note series controllers but enabled by default on the Cisco WiSM.
Page 90: Using The Cli To Enable Link Aggregation
As noted earlier, 4400 series controllers can support up to 48 access points per port. However, you can configure your 4400 series controller to support more access points using one of the following methods: Link aggregation, page 3-35 • Multiple AP-manager interfaces, page 3-35 • Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide 3-34 OL-17037-01...
