Chapter 1 Overview

Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers

Note Cisco recommends that you assign one set of VLANs for wireless LANs and a different set of VLANs

for Management Interfaces to ensure that controllers properly route VLAN traffic.

The Management Interface is assigned to one physical port through which it communicates with other

network devices and other access points. However, the Management Interface can also communicate

through all other physical ports except the service port as follows:

• Sends messages through the Layer 2 network to autodiscover and communicate with other Cisco

Wireless LAN Controllers through all physical ports except the service port.

• Listens across the Layer 2 network for Cisco 1000 series lightweight access point LWAPP polling

messages to autodiscover, associate with, and communicate with as many Cisco 1000 series

lightweight access points as it can.

Note When a controller fails its dropped lightweight access points poll the network for another controller.

When an online controller has any remaining lightweight access point ports, the Management Interface

listens to the network for lightweight access point polling messages to autodiscover, associate with, and

communicate with as many lightweight access points as it can. Refer to the “Cisco Wireless LAN

Controller Failover Protection” section on page 1-27 for more information.

Note The Management Interface cannot be assigned to the dedicated controller service port.

The Management Interface uses the burned-in Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Distribution System MAC

address, and must be configured for the following:

• VLAN assignment.

• Fixed IP Address, IP netmask, and default gateway.

• Physical port assignment.

• Primary and Secondary DHCP Servers.

• Access Control List, if required.

Refer to the “Verifying and Changing the Management Interfaces” section on page 7-2 for configuration

instructions.

AP-Manager Interface

The logical AP-Manager Interface controls Layer 3 communications between Cisco Wireless LAN

Controller and lightweight access points.

The AP-Manager Interface is assigned to one physical port and can be on the same subnet and physical

port as the management interface. The AP-Manager Interface can communicate through any physical

port except the service port as follows:

• Sends Layer 3 messages through the network to autodiscover and communicate with other Cisco

Wireless LAN Controllers.

• Listens across the network for Layer 3 lightweight access point LWAPP polling messages to

autodiscover, associate with, and communicate with as many lightweight access points as it can.
