NX5500 and Virtual Controllers

[Sethg103]

If I'm using an NX5500 to control my access points do I still need to configure one of the access points as a virtual controller, or would that no longer be necessary?

Hi,

If you have a dedicated hardware or virtualized controller to manage the APs then you don't need an AP based virtual controller (VC). 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.
