    Hi, Its based on what mode you run your SSID -> Bridge or Tunnel For bridge look at Total For tunnel mode, look at Tunnel

    Just to expand a little.. Let' s take a 60C model which shows 5/10 FAPs by default are in normal mode, normal mode can handle both Tunnel and Bridge SSIDs, so on the 60C you can add 5 FAPs, anything more can' t be managed. In order to connect 6-10 you' ll need to change the FAPs to remote mode: #configure wireless-controller wtp #edit FAP11Cxxxxxxx #set wtp-mode remote #end Remote mode FAPs will only accept bridge mode SSIDs.

    When replacing AP' s I have encountered that even though you replace physically, the unit will still take up one of the " normal" slots and you have to change it via command line to remote to get it able to use a tunnel mode SSID.
