Table 3-1 provides a list of ports per controller.
Note Appendix E provides logical connectivity diagrams and related software commands for the integrated
controllers.
Distribution System Ports
A distribution system port connects the controller to a neighbor switch and serves as the data path
between these two devices.
• Cisco 2000 series controllers have four 10/100 copper Ethernet distribution system ports through
which the controller can support up to six access points.
• Cisco 2100 series controllers have six 10/100 copper Ethernet distribution system ports through
which the controller can support up to six access points. Ports 7 and 8 can function as PoE ports.
