Controller Planning

The following items affect the number of controllers required in a mesh network:
• Mesh access points (RAPs and MAPs) in the network.
• Number of mesh access points (RAPs and MAPs) supported per controller. See
Cisco Mesh Access Points, Design and Deployment Guide, Release 7.3

◦ To check the status of Beamforming on the AP, enter the show controller d0/d1 command.
◦ To find a client in the AP rbf table, enter the show interface dot110 command.
◦ To check the Beamforming rate assigned on the AP, enter the debug d0 trace print rates command.
◦ To show that ClientLink is enabled on a radio, enter the show controllers | inc Beam command.
The output is displayed as follows:
Legacy Beamforming: Configured Yes, Active Yes, RSSI Threshold -50 dBm
Legacy Beamforming: Configured Yes, Active Yes, RSSI Threshold -60 dBm
◦ To show that ClientLink is Beamforming to a particular client, enter the show interface dot11radio
1 lbf rbf command.
The output is displayed as follows:

The wired network that connects the RAP and controllers can affect the total number of access points
supported in the network. If this network allows the controllers to be equally available to all access
points without any impact on WLAN performance, the access points can be evenly distributed across
all controllers for maximum efficiency. If this is not the case, and controllers are grouped into various
clusters or PoPs, the overall number of access points and coverage are reduced.

For clarity, nonmesh access points are referred to as local access points in this document.
