L-AIR-CTVM-5-K9 Overview
Cisco L-AIR-CTVM-5-K9 is the Cisco Virtual Wireless Controller (w/5 Access Points License). The Cisco Virtual Wireless LAN Controller (vWLC) is available with two types of software images: small scale image (supports up to 200 access points and 6000 clients) and large scale image (supports up to 3000 access points and 32000 clients). The Virtual Controller supports secure guest access, rogue detection for Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, and in-branch (locally switched) Wi-Fi voice and video.
