Network Topology with WL ControllersChapter 1OVERVIEW6Network Topology with WL ControllersWL Controllers can connect the following number of WL Access Points throughthe network, depending on the controller type.l WL5100 is capable of connecting 12 APs.l SCA-WL10 is capable of connecting up to four APs.l WL1700-MS is capable of connecting up to four APs (including an internalAP functionality in itself).When operating with Layer 2 (data link) mode, a WL Controller and theassociated WL Access Points must be located in the same segment (subnet).When operating with Layer 3 (network) mode, a WL Controller and theassociated WL Access Points are not necessary to place in the same segment(subnet). For more information on those modes, refer to “Connecting to AccessPoints” on page 71.The following is an example of network using a WL Controller and WL AccessPoints.WL ControllerGatoNegroSimulatorEther1100M LINK 100M LINKEther2PWR ACTALM LOADEther1100M LINK 100M LINKEther2PWR ACTALM LOAD
