Cisco Wireless LAN Controller licensing and 2500 / 5500 WLC difference

The 2500 and 5500 series controller don't support shared licensing, so we need to make sure that both controller has the same number of licenses, which will be able to support the required number of APs. I've touched on this previously.

Other than the number of AP's each controller can support some of the differences are:

- Link aggregation group

- Guest services (wired)

- Guest anchor

- Greater number of WLANs

- Greater number of access points groups

- Greater AP scalability

Other than this they are pretty similar and use the same code.
