Figure 1. CiscoWorks WLSE “Location View” Displays Rogue Access Point Location

CiscoWorks WLSE provides dynamic RF management through self-healing, which enables a Cisco Aironet access point to adjust its cell coverage

area automatically when an adjacent access point becomes disabled or fails. It also helps optimize performance by detecting and locating RF

interference while proactively monitoring utilization and faults.

CiscoWorks WLSE automates a range of time-consuming and repetitive tasks, such as bulk firmware updates and mass configuration of access points

and bridges. CiscoWorks WLSE may be transparently integrated with other network management systems, operations support systems, and

CiscoWorks applications through syslog messages, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, and an Extensible Markup Language

(XML) interface. The secure HTML-based user interface provides access anywhere, even through firewalls.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Deployment

CiscoWorks WLSE speeds deployment by automating configuration and setup, reducing the overall cost to provision WLANs. The result is superior

return on investment and enhanced productivity.

• Out-of-box access point configuration—Newly deployed access points can be automatically discovered and configured using Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP), with the flexibility to assign different configurations based on the access point device type, its source subnet, and

its software version. This allows administrators to automate deployment and simultaneously maintain control in rapidly expanding environments.

Cisco Aironet access points, bridges, and the switches to which they are connected are automatically discovered using Cisco Discovery Protocol.

• Assisted site surveys—Complete and reliable WLAN coverage is achieved only with a detailed site survey. Site surveys are essential during

deployment, and they should be performed regularly thereafter to address changes in the environment. Site surveys once required special

knowledge and were both expensive and time-consuming. Most organizations contracted with outside consultants, but CiscoWorks WLSE enables

IT managers to perform cost-effective site surveys in-house without being experts in RF propagation and measurement. The assisted site survey
