CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine Express 2.13
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
CiscoWorks WLSE Express is the integrated security and management solution for managing Cisco Aironet autonomous access points located
in one or multiple locations. CiscoWorks WLSE Express can manage up to 50 Cisco Aironet access points or up to 100 Cisco Aironet access
points through an optional license upgrade.
CiscoWorks WLSE Express provides comprehensive air/radio frequency (RF) and device-management capabilities in ways that simplify
deployment, reduce operational complexity, and provide administrators visibility into the WLAN. By automating several RF and device-
management tasks, CiscoWorks WLSE Express reduces the costs and time needed for WLAN deployment, management, and security.
CiscoWorks WLSE Express provides an integrated and embedded User Authentication and Authorization server, making it an ideal solution for
remote branch-office deployments with limited WAN bandwidth. It supports popular Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types including
Cisco LEAP, Protected EAP (PEAP), EAP Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST), and EAP- Transport Layer Security
(EAP-TLS). It supports up to 500 users on the standard CiscoWorks WLSE Express, or up to 1000 users on the license-upgraded version of
CiscoWorks WLSE Express, which supports 100 Cisco Aironet access points.
