Wireless LAN Controller 4-Port
The HP A-WX5004 is a rack-mountable wireless LAN controller that manages up to 256 access points from a single appliance. It provides unified network management with VLAN deployment, access privilege enforcement and QoS controls for wireless users. Gigabit Ethernet ports and a dedicated management port handle wired connectivity.
IT teams needing centralised AP control
Network administrators who require Layer-3 roaming and fast roaming for voice-grade wireless will find the feature set aligned with those demands. The 1.7-inch height fits a standard 1U rack space, while the 12.1-inch depth suits typical cabinet dimensions. Buyers who need more than four network ports or a different form factor should consider other options.
4-port Gigabit uplink capacity
Four RJ-45 Gigabit ports define the wired uplink and distribution capacity of the controller. This port count determines how many aggregation links or segmented networks can be connected directly. Verify that four ports satisfy your topology before purchasing.
