Cisco Unified Access CT5760 Controllers and Catalyst 3850 Switches Web GUI Deployment Guide, Cisco IOS XE Software Release 3.2.2
Introduction
Introduction
This document introduces the maintenance release 3.2.2 Web GUI functionality for the Cisco Converged
Access CT5760 and Cat3850 products. This guide is designed to help you access, configure, and monitor
both products using the Web GUI interface.
CT5760 Controller
CT5760 is an innovative UADP ASIC based wireless controller deployed as a centralized controller in
the next generation unified wireless architecture. CT5760 controllers are specifically designed to
function as the Unified model central wireless controllers. They also support the newer Mobility
functionality with Converged Access switches in the wireless architecture.
CT5760 controllers are deployed behind a core switch/router. The core switch/router is the only gateway
into the network for the controller. The uplink ports connected to the core switch are configured as
EtherChannel trunk to ensure port redundancy.
This new controller is an extensible and high performing wireless controller, which can scale up to 1000
access points and 12000 clients. The controller has 6-10 Gbps data ports.
As a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, the 5760 series works in conjunction with Cisco
Aironet access points, the Cisco Prime infrastructure, and the Cisco Mobility Services Engine to support
business-critical wireless data, voice, and video applications.
Catalyst 3850 Switches
Unified Access Catalyst 3850 switches are innovative UADP ASIC hardware that can support multiple
protocols and has many advantages over the current hardware platform. CAT3850 switch has an
integrated hardware based wireless support with CAPWAP and fragmentation. The CAT3850 switch has
40gig of uplink bandwidth with all port functioning at line rate.
