VC is a feature which facilitates small single site customers (with less than 64 APs) that do not have extensive management requirements and do not need data tunneling.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Regards,</P><P>Ovais</P> Tue, 19 Jan 2021 05:21:16 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremewireless-wing/nx5500-and-virtual-controllers/m-p/86942#M8125 Ovais_Qayyum 2021-01-19T05:21:16Z
