Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module

The Cisco

Wireless LAN Controller Module allows small and medium-sized businesses and enterprise branch offices

to cost-effectively deploy and manage secure wireless LANs. It provides unparalleled security, mobility, and ease of use

for business-critical WLANs, delivering the most secure enterprise-class wireless system available. As a Cisco Integrated

Services Router module, it delivers centralized security policies, wireless intrusion prevention system (IPS) capabilities,

award-winning RF management, quality of service (QoS), and Layer 3 fast secure roaming for WLANs. The Cisco Wireless

LAN Controller Module manages up to six Cisco Aironet

lightweight access points and is supported on Cisco 2800/3800

Series integrated services routers and Cisco 3700 Series routers.

The Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module is a member of the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller product family. It works in conjunction with Cisco

Aironet lightweight access points, the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS), and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance to support mission-critical

wireless data, voice, and video applications.

The Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module provides zero-touch access point deployment and configuration, making it easy for IT managers to

extend secure wireless networks to branch offices. The module eliminates the need to individually configure, manage, and monitor each access

point. In conjunction with Cisco Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP)-enabled access points and the Cisco WCS, the Cisco Wireless LAN

Controller module minimizes deployment and operational costs, allowing businesses with limited IT staff to easily deploy and manage wireless

networks across hundreds of remote sites.

Benefits

Integrated into
Cisco Routers

•

With the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller module, SMBs and enterprise branch offices can cost-effectively

support their network requirements with converged networks that integrate data, voice, video, and wireless.

•

Integrated branch-office platforms lower hardware costs, simplify remote management, and offer flexible

configuration options that reduce the total cost of operations and ownership.

•

By using the existing rich portfolio of services such as integrated Cisco EtherSwitch

modules with power over

Ethernet (PoE), IP Communications, and security, the Wireless LAN Controller Module delivers a more economical

and manageable solution for customers.

Zero-Touch
Configuration

The Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module eliminates the need to individually configure, manage, and monitor each

access point. It provides zero-touch LWAPP-enabled access point configuration and is ideal for environments with

limited onsite IT support, such as branch offices within a distributed enterprise. By managing all access points as a

complete wireless LAN system, the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module provides complete wireless LAN control

and maximizes wireless LAN performance.

Centralize Management
Across Many Branches

A single Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) can manage 100 wireless LAN controller modules located across

several remote sites. The Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Module can also be managed without a Cisco WCS, using

a CLI or an intuitive Web interface.
