What is the total number of users permitted to simultaneously browse the controller management pages when using the AireOS GUI?

Cisco AireOS Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) are designed with a specific limit on the number of concurrent administrative sessions to ensure the stability and performance of the management plane. According to official Cisco documentation for multiple AireOS versions, a maximum of five users are permitted to be logged into the controller's Graphical User Interface (GUI) simultaneously. This is a system-level constraint and is not user-configurable. Any attempt by a sixth user to log in will be denied until one of the active sessions is terminated.

A. 2: This value is incorrect. While limiting administrative access is a common practice, the specific limit for the AireOS GUI is higher than two.

C. 8: This value is incorrect. The documented limit for simultaneous GUI sessions on AireOS controllers is five, not eight.

D. 9: This value is incorrect. The official documentation consistently states the maximum number of simultaneous GUI users is five.
