Features and Benefits
The Cisco 8540 Wireless Controller, optimized for 802.11ac Wave2 performance, high scale, and enhanced
system uptime, supports:
●
Subsecond access point and client failover for uninterrupted application availability.
●
Extraordinary visibility into application traffic, using Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC), the
technology that includes the Network Based Application Recognition 2 (NBAR2) engine, Cisco's Deep
Packet Inspection (DPI) capability. This allows to mark, prioritize, and block to conserve network bandwidth
and enhance security. Customers can optionally export the flows to Cisco Prime Infrastructure or a third-
party NetFlow collector.
●
Embedded wireless bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy classification engine that allows classification of
client devices and application of user group based policies.
●
Deployment of guest access and Bonjour and Chromecast services in centralized deployments.
●
Software-defined segmentation with Cisco TrustSec
®
technology, reducing access control list (ACL)
maintenance, complexity and overhead.
●
Integrated Cisco CleanAir
®
technology, providing the industry’s only self-healing and self-optimizing
wireless network.
