Architecture and Key Components
The family of WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers consists of five products. These deliver varying levels of performance and scalability
ranging from 4 to 512 access points. Controller clustering capabilities simplify configuration and enable easy network scaling, allowing
massive networks of up to 32,000 access points.

Features and Benefits
Secure Seamless Mobility
WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers are designed for easy wireless
integration within an existing, wired network, authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) security framework, requiring
no changes to the existing LAN topology or configuration.
integration within an existing, wired network, authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) security framework, requiring
no changes to the existing LAN topology or configuration.
The WLC Series supports the highest levels of security for both
voice and data, including IEEE 802.11i, WPA/WPA2, and Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. The WLC Series also
provides comprehensive built-in Wireless Intrusion Prevention
(WIP) and Wireless Intrusion Detection (WID) features to detect
and mitigate rogue access points, denial of service (DoS) attacks,
and other common attacks. Unlike WLAN systems that rely
entirely on centralized controllers for security policy enforcement,
Juniper’s security/authentication model is administered centrally
and enforced in a distributed fashion.

With the WLC Series controllers, up to 64 controllers of any size
may be grouped to form a single Mobility Domain

which shares
user session information between member controllers. This allows
users to roam seamlessly from access point to access point
indoors and outdoors, even across different controllers within a
given Mobility Domain, without ever needing to re-authenticate.

Global Identity-Based Networking
The WLC Series controllers give users the same identity-based
services and privileges, no matter where they connect. The WLC
Series offers seamless roaming at a single location, and it enables
the same secure mobility and consistent service profiles at
multiple locations in the same network.
services and privileges, no matter where they connect. The WLC
Series offers seamless roaming at a single location, and it enables
the same secure mobility and consistent service profiles at
multiple locations in the same network.
Applying identity-based networking globally offers great benefits
to users who frequently work at different sites (for example,
doctors who serve many hospitals within a hospital system,
teachers across a school district, or IT users across multiple
campuses). Whatever the experience a user has at one site, it can
be replicated at another similar site.

Optimized Traffic Flows
WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers also enable intelligent
switching, which combines both centralized and distributed
data forwarding based on the requirements of the underlying
application. This results in optimized traffic flows, radically
reduced latency, and massive scalability. With the scalability and
performance advantages of distributed switching, the WLC Series
can support the most demanding wireless applications, including
voice over WLAN for thousands of users, video services, real-time
location services, and 802.11n—all without the need for expensive
WLAN controller upgrades.
