vx9000

Configures a Virtual WLAN Controller (V-WLC) in a virtual machine (VM) environment. V-WLC can be deployed on a shared, third-party server hardware, thereby reducing overhead costs of procuring and maintaining dedicated appliances. The external, third-party hardware needs to have installed hypervisors, such as VmWare, Xen, VirtualBox, KVM, Amazon EC2 or Hyper-V, enabling it to communicate with V-WLC software.

The V-WLC controls and manages access points and other controllers (at NOC or as a site-controller) in the network. The traffic between the access points and the V-WLC is over the layer-3 MINT protocol.

V-WLC is a licensed feature, and the WiNG software provides the following two new licenses:
  • VX – When installed, this license activates VM controller instance, and enables the V-WLC to trigger adoption process allowing access points to adopt to the V-WLC. The adoption capacity of the V-WLC is determined by the number of licenses installed on it.
  • VX – When installed, this license activates VM controller instance, and enables the V-WLC to trigger adoption process allowing access points to adopt to the V-WLC. The adoption capacity of the V-WLC is determined by the number of licenses installed on it.

To install the VX or VX-DEMO license on an existing V-WLC instance, use the license command. For more information, see the examples provided in this section.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Service Platforms — NX 95XX, NX 96XX

Syntax

vx9000 <MAC>

Parameters

vx9000 <MAC>
vx9000 <MAC> Configures a V-WLC and enters its configuration mode. The V-WLC configuration is the same as that of a normal controller.
