Chapter 1 Overview

Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Overview

The Cisco Wireless LAN Solution is designed to provide 802.11 wireless networking solutions for

enterprises and service providers. The Cisco Wireless LAN Solution simplifies deploying and managing

large-scale wireless LANs and enables a unique best-in-class security infrastructure. The operating

system manages all data client, communications, and system administration functions, performs Radio

Resource Management (RRM) functions, manages system-wide mobility policies using the operating

system Security solution, and coordinates all security functions using the operating system security

framework.

The Cisco Wireless LAN Solution consists of Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers and their associated

lightweight access points controlled by the operating system, all concurrently managed by any or all of

the operating system user interfaces:

• An HTTP and/or HTTPS full-featured Web User Interface hosted by Cisco Wireless LAN

Controllers can be used to configure and monitor individual controllers. See the “Web User Interface

and the CLI” section on page 1-44.

• A full-featured command-line interface (CLI) can be used to configure and monitor individual Cisco

Wireless LAN Controllers. See the “Web User Interface and the CLI” section on page 1-44.

• The “Cisco Wireless Control System” section on page 1-45 describes the Cisco Wireless Control

System (WCS), which you use to configure and monitor one or more Cisco Wireless LAN

Controllers and associated access points. WCS has tools to facilitate large-system monitoring and

control. WCS runs on Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES servers.

• An industry-standard SNMP V1, V2c, and V3 interface can be used with any SNMP-compliant

third-party network management system.

The Cisco Wireless LAN Solution supports client data services, client monitoring and control, and all

rogue access point detection, monitoring, and containment functions. The Cisco Wireless LAN Solution

uses lightweight access points, Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, and the optional Cisco WCS to provide

wireless services to enterprises and service providers.

The Cisco WCS application is offered in two versions:

• Cisco WCS Base, which also supports client, rogue access point, rogue access point client, radio

frequency ID (RFID) tag location to the nearest lightweight access point.

• Cisco WCS Location, which also supports client, rogue access point, rogue access point client,

RFID tag location to within 10 meters.

See the “Cisco WCS Base” section on page 1-46 and the “Cisco WCS Location” section on page 1-47

for more information.

When Cisco WCS Location is used, Cisco Wireless LAN Solution end users can also deploy Cisco 2700

Series Location Appliances, described in Chapter 10, “Configuring and Using Location Appliances.”

The location appliance enhances the high-accuracy built-in Cisco WCS Location abilities by computing,

collecting and storing historical location data, which can be displayed in Cisco WCS. In this role, the

location appliance acts as a server to one or more Cisco WCS Servers, collecting, storing, and passing

on data from its associated controllers.

Note This document refers to Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers throughout. Unless specifically called out, the

descriptions herein apply to all Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, including but not limited to Cisco 2000

Series Wireless LAN Controllers, Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controllers, and Cisco 4400 Series

Wireless LAN Controllers.
