About the Cisco WLC 5760 AIR-CT5760-100-K9 Cisco wireless LAN controller
The Cisco WLC 5760 AIR-CT5760-100-K9 is a centralised wireless LAN controller delivered as a managed appliance with on-box CLI access and integration into Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco DNA Center; this SKU supports up to 100 access points out of the box, with a clear upgrade path via licence to 500 APs within the Cisco Catalyst 5760 platform. Network engineers and IT procurement teams deploying enterprise wireless networks will appreciate the sub-second stateful switchover failover capability, redundant hot-swappable AC power supplies, and support for 2,000 concurrent wireless clients across IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards.
Built as a compact 1U rack-mountable unit, the AIR-CT5760-100-K9 delivers flexible AP deployment modes—Local Mode, FlexConnect (H-REAP), Monitor Mode, and Sniffer Mode—alongside enterprise-grade security through WPA2-Enterprise, 802.1X, RADIUS authentication, MAC filtering, and rogue AP detection. Deep integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) enables policy-driven access control. The controller supports 512 WLAN profiles and 4,096 VLANs, backed by four 1G SFP uplink ports and one 10/100/1000 management port for robust connectivity. Regulatory compliance spans FCC, CE, and UL standards.
Typical Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- Multi-site branch office wireless consolidation with centralised management via Cisco Prime Infrastructure or DNA Center
- Higher-education campus deployments requiring secure 802.1X authentication and rogue AP detection across 100+ access points
- Healthcare and finance facilities demanding WPA2-Enterprise encryption, VLAN segmentation across 4,096 networks, and seamless failover
- Hybrid work environments leveraging FlexConnect mode to support both local and remote AP deployments with minimal WAN latency
- Large-scale IoT and guest access networks using MAC filtering, monitor mode, and sniffer mode for traffic analysis and security monitoring
