Technical Specifications

Centralized Wireless Management

The C9800-L-C-K9 provides centralized management for compatible Cisco wireless access points. Administrators can use the controller to manage WLAN configuration, access-point policies, wireless security, mobility, monitoring, and operational functions from a centralized platform.

Wireless Deployment Flexibility

Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller appliances support multiple deployment modes, including centralized wireless, FlexConnect, and fabric deployments. The appropriate mode depends on the organization's network architecture and wireless design.

Base and Performance Capacity

The standard Catalyst 9800-L platform supports up to 250 access points and 5,000 clients with up to 5 Gbps throughput. Cisco offers the optional LIC-C9800L-PERF performance license to increase the platform's capacity to up to 500 access points, 10,000 clients, and up to 10 Gbps throughput.

Licensing Information

The C9800-L-C-K9 is the controller hardware PID, not a standalone wireless controller license. Cisco states that Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers can boot without a license, while access points connecting to the controller require the appropriate Cisco licensing entitlement. Current Cisco licensing options include Cisco Wireless or Cisco DNA Essentials and Advantage tiers through Cisco's applicable licensing model.

Optional controller-related licensing includes the LIC-C9800-DTLS-K9 DTLS license and LIC-C9800L-PERF performance upgrade license. Licensing requirements should be confirmed according to the access points, software release, deployment model, and subscription arrangement.

Copper Uplink Configuration

The C9800-L-C-K9 is specifically the copper-uplink version of the Catalyst 9800-L. Cisco also offers the C9800-L-F-K9 fiber-uplink version. The appropriate model should be selected according to the physical uplink requirements of the wireless network.

Compatibility

Compatibility depends on the Cisco Catalyst 9800-L software release, connected access-point models, licensing entitlement, uplink configuration, and network architecture. Cisco's current wireless documentation lists the C9800-L-C-K9 as a supported platform for Cisco Wireless unified licensing.
