Description

Product Overview 

Optimized for 802.11ac Wave 2 performance, the intent-driven Cisco DNA ready Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller with Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology is a compact, highly scalable, service-rich, resilient, and flexible platform that enables next-generation wireless networks for small to medium-sized enterprises and branch office deployments.
 
The Cisco AIR-CT3504-K9 Wireless Controller provides centralized control, management, and troubleshooting for small to medium-sized enterprises and branch offices. It offers flexibility to support multiple deployment modes in the same controller—a centralized mode for campus environments, Cisco FlexConnect mode for lean branches managed over the WAN, and a mesh (bridge) mode for deployments in which full Ethernet cabling is unavailable.
 
 

Product Highlights


●   Intent-driven programmability and streaming telemetry.
●   Quiet operation, with a small form factor and compact design ideal for space-constrained deployments, providing flexibility
     without compromising on features.
●   Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology to support next-generation 802.11ac Wave 2 deployments using
     existing cabling infrastructure.
●   Subsecond access point and client failover for uninterrupted application availability.


Understanding the Cisco WLC 3504 Front Panel View

Cisco WLC 3504 supports several interfaces and status LED indicators on the front panel. WLC 3504 Front Panel Interfaces

                             

Port and Interfaces on WLC 3504         

Description

1 Service Port

Dedicated Service Port for Out-of-Band Management

2-3 Console

There are two console ports on the WLC 3504.
There is a serial RJ45 console port and a mini USB port.
Both of these console ports are in XOR configuration
i.e. only one will be operational at a time.
If one connects to both the console ports, RJ45 will take precedence.

4 USB

USB 3.0 Port can be used to perform Software Updates in addition
to already available Transfer Mode i.e. HTTP, TFTP, FTP and SFTP.

5 mGig Port

There is one mGig port for Data Connectivity which can be
configured for 1, 2.5 and 5 Gbps

6 GiGE Ports

There are four Gigabit Ethernet Ports on the WLC 3504 for Data Connectivity.
Port 3 and Port 4 also have PoE out and can provide 802.3at power.               

7 Reset

Reset button can be used to Reset the WLC 3504 to factory defaults

8 Status LED

There are three LEDs on the front panel of WLC3504.
There is a System LED, Alarm LED and High Availability LED.
For description of LED states, please refer to the section LED Indicators.

9 Redundancy Port

WLC 3504 supports High Availability similar to WLC 5520 and WLC 8540.
The Redundancy ports can be connected back to back or via an L2 switc
