Add Wireless LAN Controller(s) to Cisco WCS
Each controller must be added to Cisco WCS so the network can be monitored
and centrally managed. This process is very simple, but necessary.

Navigate to Configure and then to Controllers, which should bring you to an
empty list of controllers as shown in Figure 18. From the drop-down list on the
right, select Add Controllers… and click Go. You are prompted to enter the
Controller IP address. Use the default settings for all other parameters including
the Telnet/SSH password.

NOTE:
You may enter every controller IP address separated by a comma, or
you can select a comma-delimited (CSV) spreadsheet with the IP addresses of
your controllers. In our example, we selected a single controller by IP address to
allow for clarification.

Click OK, which tests for connectivity to each controller you have specified and
provides you with a list of your controllers, their hostname, and an indication if
they are reachable as shown in Figure 19.

Building and Floor Plan
The real advantage to any management system is the presentation of the infor-
mation that you can then use to make informed decisions. The Cisco Wireless
Control System brings visibility to the radio spectrum, which allows the admin-
istrator to see the coverage that is provided to the users. Including the building
and floor maps in Cisco WCS creates the visibility to this otherwise unknown or
convoluted data that the network provides.

Adding the First Campus and Building
Every organizational method starts by categorizing the approach; with the Cisco
Wireless Control System, the approach is familiar. Even though you may only
have one building today, you may end up with another building, or perhaps each
Campus is a single building today, but could have more buildings tomorrow. The
Campus, Building, Floor approach makes it easy to understand as you dig for
more information and peel away the layers to find what you are looking for.

NOTE:
You need to know the dimension of the campus picture you are bringing
into the system so that you can scale the drawing appropriately as each building
and floor are added.
