I wanted to make sure the Virtual Controller Service Port is connected to my CSR Backup Network for now (might change it later) and the Data Port is connected to my Server Network. After building out our vWLC, I changed the vSwitches each NIC was connecting too. These are different physical ports on my ESXi host that connect to our Lab switch. During the build out, I put one NIC on my Server Network and the other NIC on my ISE Test Network. It is best to have these NICs on different vSwitches in your Virtual environment. One is the Virtual Controller Service Port and the other one is the Data Port. For a virtual Wireless LAN Controller there are two NICs included in the OVF / OVA template.

The next window is the Network Mapping window. In my lab, I am using Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed. Select the value that works for your environment. We can select, Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed, Thick Provision Eager Zeroed, or Thin Provision. On the next screen, we get to select how we want our Disk Format to be in VMware. For this VM I selected my Local Datastore 1.Ĭlick Next when your selection is completed. Select the location that best works for you in your design and deployment. Now we get to select which Storage location to utilize for this VM. When you are satisfied with your name of the VM, click Next. I’m naming mine vWLC01 – 8.0.140.0 because I usually have a few running at any given time and I like to know what version is which quickly. On this screen is where we can give our virtual Wireless LAN Controller a name.
