Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) on C9120AX Access Points?
The Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on C9120AX Access Points is a built-in software license that enables controller functionality directly on Catalyst 9120AX access points, eliminating the need for an external wireless LAN controller.
What features does the C9120AXE-EWC-S license provide?
The C9120AXE-EWC-S license delivers centralized RF management, policy enforcement, secure segmentation, analytics, and plug-and-play deployment for up to 100 embedded controller APs.
How many access points can be managed by one EWC instance?
One Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller instance on C9120AX supports up to 100 Catalyst 9120AX access points under a single management domain.
Can I upgrade from EWC to an external Cisco Wireless LAN Controller?
Yes. You can migrate your EWC-managed APs to an external Cisco Wireless LAN Controller by applying an external WLC license and performing a simple upgrade workflow via Cisco DNA Center or the AP’s web UI.
How do I install the C9120AXE-EWC-S license?
Log into the AP’s web interface, navigate to Licensing > Controller, upload the C9120AXE-EWC-S .lic file, and reboot the device to activate controller functionality.
