The Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller (Part Number: AIR-CT2504-25-K9) is a reliable network management device designed to optimize network performance for small to medium-sized wireless networks. This unit specifically supports up to 25 access points, making it suitable for organisations looking to manage multiple wireless connections seamlessly. Its hardware-based design ensures high reliability when processing traffic, and its software provides advanced wireless control, mobility, and security features.
Featuring four Gigabit Ethernet ports, the controller supports high-speed wired connections to ensure efficient communication between access points and the network core. The 2504 controller also facilitates centralised management, allowing IT teams to monitor and configure multiple access points from a single interface. This eliminates the need for individual configurations at the access point level, reducing overall administrative burden.
One of the significant features of this device is its support for the latest WLAN security protocols, such as WPA2 and 802.1X authentication, which ensure secure transmissions across the wireless network. The controller also provides 802.11n/ac wireless networking standards, delivering faster speeds and enhanced user coverage compared to earlier standards like 802.11g.
The Cisco 2504 Wireless Controller supports Cisco's CleanAir technology, which helps mitigate interference, ensuring consistent performance in high-density, congested areas. It’s also engineered for high availability with features like Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal, enabling the device to operate across different networks without requiring complex reconfigurations. Remote management is additionally available through an intuitive web interface, making installation, maintenance, and upgrades straightforward tasks for network administrators.
