Hello,
I'm under the impression that each 2006 controller can only support up to 6 access points. Can someone confirm this for me? I'm unable to find documentation on this device through cisco as the 2000 controllers are EoS/EoL now..
Reason I ask is, the only documents I found that relate to that were the WLC 4.1 controller config guides, and they say the max supported for 2000 controllers is 6... yet I have one running now that has 7 associated with it. All 7 are valid APs.
It's confusing, so I would like a bit of clarification with what's going on.
Thanks in advance.

Wired APs count as 1 AP, non-RAP mesh APs count as 0.5. The 2006 supports 6 APs, but 12 APs will be allowed to join to support failover/redundancy.

6 AP's according to this link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6308/prod_eol_notice0900aecd805d22b0.html

Thanks, it's as I thought..
.. any idea why a 7th is able to register though? We originally had two controllers managing 7 AP's but one of the controllers is having trouble, so all 7 are associating with the first one.
If it helps, all 7 AP's are mesh 1510's, two of them are Root APs.

i believe the mesh ap's only count as a 1/2 ap and root counts as a whole. I just can't find a reference.

Hi Jeff,
My understanding of this is that only "wired" AP's are counted against the over-all total.Thus you have not exceeded the maximum number of 6 supported AP's.
Hope this helps and things are good in Winnepeg!

Thanks.
I wish that kind of stuff was better documented (If it is, I certainly didn't see it anywhere!).
