Cisco AVC uses NetFlow Version 9 to export the flows to Cisco Prime
™
Infrastructure or a third-party NetFlow
Collector. The Cisco Flex 7500 Series in central switched mode also supports Bonjour Services Directory to
enable Bonjour Services to be advertised and utilized in a separate Layer 3 network. Wireless Policy engine is a
wireless profiler and policy feature on the Cisco Flex 7500 Series wireless controller that enables profiling of
wireless devices and enforcement of policies such as VLAN assignment, QoS, ACL, and time-of-day-based
access. As a component of the Cisco Unified
Wireless Network, this controller provides real-time communications
between
Cisco Aironet
®
access points, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, and the Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE),
and is interoperable with other Cisco controllers. With integrated Cisco CleanAir
®
technology, the Cisco Flex 7500
Series provides the industry’s only self-healing and self-optimizing wireless network for branches.
Software Licensing Flexibility
The Cisco Flex 7500 Series Cloud Controllers provide right-to-use (with EULA agreement) license enablement for
faster time to deployment, with flexibility to add additional access points (up to 6000 access points) as business
needs grow.
Table 1 lists the features of Cisco Flex 7500 Series Cloud Controllers.
