Simplified Deployment and Management
The Cisco WiSM is easy to deploy and cost-effective to own and operate. It provides maximum flexibility to deploy anywhere in the network from
access, to distribution, to the core based upon customer business requirements. It supports zero-touch deployments that do not require manual or
preconfiguration of the access points. It also supports template-based configuration management. These intuitive templates enable the quick
application of systemwide security configurations, QoS policies, mobility groups, back-end services, and other important configurations via the easy-
to-use, award-winning Cisco WLAN user interface.
The Cisco WiSM supports several embedded troubleshooting tools. When deployed with Cisco WCS, it supports enhanced monitoring and
troubleshooting features, including intuitive heat map displays, alarm filtering, event correlation, and granular reporting tools.

Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720 maximizes the availability of the wireless network.
Integrated RRM
Creates an intelligent RF control plane for self-configuration, self-healing, and self-optimization.
Zero-Configuration Deployment
The Cisco WiSM is deployed without manually configuring access points or modifying existing network
infrastructures.
Multilayered Security
Flexible security policies adapt to changing corporate security needs.
Intrusion Detection, Location,
and Containment
Integrated wireless intrusion protection preserves the integrity of wireless networks and sensitive
corporate information.
Mobility Management
Users can roam between access points and across bridged and routed subnets without requiring changes
to the underlying infrastructure.
Intuitive Management Interfaces
Better visibility and control of the air space reduces operational costs.
SUMMARY
The Cisco WiSM is ideal for enterprise-scale wireless LAN deployments. It eliminates the complexity of wireless networks, helping to ensure smooth
performance, enhanced security, and maximized network availability. The Cisco WiSM is deployable within campus, branch, and remote locations
with scalability of up to 300 Cisco Aironet lightweight access points per module. It works in conjunction with Cisco WCS and the Cisco Wireless
Location Appliance to support mission-critical wireless data, voice, and video applications. It delivers centralized security policies, IPS, RF
management, QoS, and Layer 3 fast secure roaming for enterprise WLANs. As a key component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, the Cisco
WiSM provides network administrators with the visibility and control they need to effectively manage and scale their enterprise-class WLANs.
