As of LCOS 10.30 the R&S®LANCOM vRouter additionally supports the functions of a WLAN controller. You decide which role your R&S®LANCOM vRouter should play: VPN gateway or WLAN controller. The R&S®LANCOM vRouter now supports the role of a virtual WLC (vWLC), which means it is capable of managing access points. This fully virtualizes the functions of a WLAN controller on virtualization platforms such as VMWare ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V. The number of managed access points depends on the vRouter license category. All vRouter licenses issued after the release of LCOS 10.30 include a vWLC option.
| Product | VPN licenses | AP licenses |
|---|---|---|
| vRouter 50 | 10 | 10 |
| vRouter 250 | 50 | 50 |
| vRouter 500 | 100 | 100 |
| vRouter 1000 | 200 | 200 |
| vRouter unlimited | 1000 | 1000 |
Note: Rohde & Schwarz Networks and Cybersecurity recommends running a vRouter instance either primarily as a VPN gateway/router or as a
WLAN controller. The recommended usage may also be split: For example, at the license level "vRouter 1000" (200 VPN licenses and 200 AP licenses):
- 100 concurrent VPN connections and 100 managed APs or
- 150 concurrent VPN connections and 50 managed APs.
