Cisco WCS Serviceability Improvements
The following serviceability improvements have been made to Cisco WCS:
•
Enable the user to schedule automatic backups
•
Backups can be run while the server is running and clients are logged in
•
Run a backup or restore operation via both the GUI and the command line interface
•
Cisco WCS backup file is now a single, compressed file
•
The Linux version of Cisco WCS can now be installed as a service
Benefits of Cisco WCS Serviceability Improvements
•
Ability for network administrators to automatically run backups during off-peak hours
•
Backups can be run without affecting any users that may be actively using Cisco WCS
•
Ability to have a single compressed backup file, reducing file transfer time, saving disk space, and making it easier to manage backup files
•
Easier installation on Linux systems
Wireless LAN Controllers Supported: Not applicable
Access Points Supported: Not applicable
Management Interfaces Supported: Cisco WCS
Static and Dynamic WEP on the Same WLAN
In previous releases of Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software, static and dynamic WEP could not be used on the same WLAN. Separate WLANs
had to be configured, one for static WEP and one for dynamic WEP. In Release 3.2, static and dynamic WEP can be used on the same WLAN.
Benefits of Static and Dynamic WEP on the Same WLAN
•
More flexible options for deploying secure WLANs
Wireless LAN Controllers Supported: Cisco 2000, 4100, and 4400 Series wireless LAN controllers; Cisco WiSM; Cisco WLCM for integrated
services routers; Airespace 3500, 4000, and 4100 Series wireless LAN controllers
Access Points Supported: Cisco Aironet 1000, 1130, 1230, 1240, and 1500 series lightweight access points
Management Interfaces Supported: Cisco WCS, controller web user interface, command line interface
Configurable DHCP Proxy
The DHCP Proxy function on the WLAN controller can now be configured to work like a standard DHCP relay. The standard DHCP Proxy function
modifies certain fields, such as the DHCP Server Identifier, which caused some client to not work properly. By configuring the DHCP Proxy to
work as a standard DHCP relay, these clients will now work properly.
Benefits of Configurable DHCP Proxy
•
Clients depending on standard DHCP relay will now work properly with the WLAN controller.
