Cisco 4100 series, Airespace 4012 series, and Airespace 4024 series controllers are not
Note
supported because they lack the memory required to support access points running Cisco
IOS software.
The access points do not support Wireless Domain Services (WDS) and cannot communicate with
WDS devices. However, the controller provides functionality equivalent to WDS when the access
point associates to it.
The access points support eight BSSIDs per radio and a total of eight wireless LANs per access
point. When a lightweight access point associates to a controller, only wireless LANs with IDs 1
through 8 are pushed to the access point.
The access points do not support Layer 2 LWAPP. They must get an IP address and discover the
controller using DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast.
The access point console port is enabled for monitoring and debug purposes (all configuration
commands are disabled when connected to a controller).
