How do I select the right controller to deploy as a guest anchor controller?
A. The selection of the guest anchor controller is a function of the amount of guest traffic as defined by the number of active guest client sessions, or as defined by the uplink interface capacity on the controller, or both. Total throughput and client limitations per guest anchor controller are as follows: • Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controller—One 1000 Mb interface and 1500 guest clients • Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN Controller—Two 1000 Mb interfaces and 5000 guest clients • Cisco 4404 Wireless LAN Controller—Four 1000 Mb interfaces and 5000 guest clients • Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless Services Module (WiSM)—Eight 1000 Mb interfaces and 10,000 guest clients A maximum of 2048 guest usernames and passwords can be stored on each controller’s database. Therefore, if the total number of active guest credentials is in excess of this number, more than one controller will be needed. Alternatively, guest credentials can be stored in an external RADIUS server. The number of access poi
