Data Sheet Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controllers The Cisco® 8500 Series Wireless Controllers are a highly scalable and flexible platform that enables mission-critical wireless networking for enterprise and service provider deployments. Lower CapEx and OpEx ● Consolidate multiple controllers into one controller with support for up to 6000 access points, and save on rack space with a 1RU platform. ● Deploy fewer controllers in a data center by consolidating many controllers into one controller that supports centralized deployments and Cisco FlexConnect™ and mesh access point deployments. ● Gain significant savings in operations by configuring, managing, and troubleshooting up to 6000 access points and 64,000 clients with a single point of touch. Multilayer High Availability (HA) ● Service Set Identifier (SSID) HA with sub-second access point and client failover. ● Dual-redundant power supplies installed. ● Dual-redundant 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Service Provider Wi-Fi ● Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint (Hotspot 2.0) for mobile data offload. ● Network-based mobility management with Proxy Mobile IPv6 Mobility Access Gateway (MAG) support for integration with cellular data networks. Designed for 802.11n performance and maximum scalability, the 8500 Series offers enhanced uptime for high-scale deployments with support for: ● 6000 access points and 64,000 clients in a 1RU form factor 4096 VLANs for large-scale deployments Sub-second access point and client failover for Service Set Identifier (SSID) high availability Dual-redundant power supplies installed (AC or DC) Dual-redundant 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity Figure 1. Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller Licensing Flexibility and Investment Protection ● Additional access point capacity licenses can be added over time. ● Right-to-use licensing (with EULA acceptance) for faster and easier license enablement. The Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controllers (Figure 1) provide FlexConnect, Centralized, and Mesh Deployment Flexibility in a Single Controller ● Intelligent RF control plane, centralized software update, control and management, and troubleshooting. ● Mesh access point support for deployments where full Ethernet cabling is not available. ● Deploy Cisco FlexConnect in sites with up to 100 access points in up to 2000 groups. controller: for example, centralized mode for campus, Cisco Comprehensive Wired and Wireless Security ● Full access point-to-controller encryption via the Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocol. ● Supports rogue access point detection and detection of denial-of-service attacks. ● Management frame protection detects malicious users and alerts network administrators. Secured Guest Access ● Deploy simple and secure guest access services across 6000 sites. centralized control, management, and troubleshooting for enterprise and service provider deployments. The 8500 Series offers flexibility to support multiple deployment modes in the same FlexConnect™ mode for lean branches managed over the WAN, and mesh (bridge) mode for deployments where full Ethernet cabling is unavailable. The Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controllers support Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC). Cisco AVC includes the Network-Based Application Recognition 2 (NBAR-2) engine, Cisco’s deep packet inspection (DPI) capability, which classifies applications, applies quality of service (QoS) settings to either drop or mark the traffic, and prioritizes business-critical applications in the network. Cisco AVC uses NetFlow Version 9 to export the flows to Cisco Prime™ Infrastructure or a third-party NetFlow collector. © 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

The Cisco 8500 Series also supports Bonjour Services Directory to enable Bonjour Services to be advertised and utilized in a separate Layer 3 network. A wireless policy engine on the Cisco 8500 Series enables profiling of wireless devices and enforcement of policies such as VLAN assignment, QoS, access control lists (ACLs), and time-of-day- based access. Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controllers automate wireless configuration and management functions and allow network managers to have the visibility and control needed to cost-effectively manage, secure, and optimize the performance of their...
