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

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 Jamie Savage | Senior Communications Technician | University Information Technology 010 Steacie Science Building | York University | 4700 Keele St. , Toronto ON M3J 1P3 Canada T: 416.736.2100 x22605 | F: 416.736.5830 | jsav...@yorku.ca<mailto:jsav...@yorku.ca> | www.yorku.ca<http://www.yorku.ca/> York UIT will NEVER send unsolicited requests for passwords or other personal information via email.
