I have been asked to setup a 2504 WLC but have never done so before....

I have a few quick questions that I am hoping you guys can help me with.

1. Why can't you directly connect WAPs to the ports on the WLC?

2. In order to setup 5 WAPs on the WLC must I connect the WLC to a Switch first and then run Cat-5 from the switch to the WAP's?

3. Can I create a Captive Portal for Guest WiFi Users?

4. Can I create a Guest and Internal Network WiFi for guests and employees that are seperated?

Sorry if these are newbie questions, I am doing my best to learn.

Thank you all for your help,
