Chapter 1 Overview
Wireless LAN Controller Platforms
Cisco 2000 Series Wireless LAN Controllers
Cisco 2000 Series Wireless LAN Controllers can communicate with the network through any one of its
physical data ports, as the logical management interface can be assigned to one of the ports. The physical
port description follows:
• Up to four 10/100BASE-T cables can plug into the four back-panel data ports on the Cisco 2000
Series Wireless LAN Controller chassis.
Figure 1-5 shows connections to the 2000 series controller.

Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controllers
Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controllers can communicate with the network through one or two
physical data ports, as the logical management interface can be assigned to one or both ports. The
physical port description follows:
• Two Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-SX fiber-optic cables can plug into the LC connectors on the front
of the Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controller, and they must be connected to the same subnet.
Note that the two Gigabit Ethernet ports are redundant--the first port that becomes active is the
master, and the second port becomes the backup port. If the first connection fails, the standby
connection becomes the master, and the failed connection becomes the backup port.
Note The 1000BASE-SX circuits provide 100/1000 Mbps wired connections to the network through 850nM
(SX) fiber-optic links using LC physical connectors.
