Overview of Ports and Interfaces
Three concepts are key to understanding how controllers connect to a wireless network: ports, interfaces,
and WLANs.
Ports
A port is a physical entity that is used for connections on the controller platform. Controllers have two
types of ports: distribution system ports and a service port. The following figures show the ports
available on each controller.
Note
The controller in a Cisco Integrated Services Router and the controllers on the Cisco WiSM do not have
external physical ports. They connect to the network through ports on the router or switch.

Figure 3-2 Ports on the Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controllers
Note Figure 3-2 shows a Cisco 4404 controller. The Cisco 4402 controller is similar but has only two
distribution system ports. The utility port, which is the unlabeled port in Figure 3-2 , is currently not
operational.
