RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Capacity of a Cisco 5500 series controller

427 currently and while we have another 5508, I use it primarily for testing 
and failover. So it's effectively standalone.

Hi all,
   Rarely can one take the published capacity numbers of devices at face value. 
  The Cisco 5500 series wireless controller is rated to handle 'up to' 500 APs 
and 7000 concurrent clients.  Has anyone pushed this device to capacity?  If 
not, what limits have you decided on?

..thanks in advance..Jamie

It will happily run that number of devices and clients day in and day out. The
