Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless LAN Services Module: White Paper
OL-6450-01
Overview
Layer 3 Mobility
Layer 3 roaming eliminates the need to restrict mobile users to access points within the same IP 
subnetwork. Mobile IP telephony and video distribution to portable media devices (like laptops and 
PDAs) across the wireless campus are now viable deployment options. 
The centralized nature of the WLSM enables customers to apply centralized security and QoS policies. 
The same security mechanisms found in Cisco Catalyst 6500 switches can now be extended to wireless 
users, further reinforcing data protection for mobile users and reducing the chance of the network being 
compromised. 
The WLSM enables you to manage up to 6000 mobile nodes and up to 300 Cisco Aironet 1200 or 1100 
series access points.
Cisco SWAN
There are four components to the Cisco SWAN framework—access points; management and security 
servers; WLAN client devices; and infrastructure devices. 
Cisco Aironet access points
 running Cisco IOS software are required. These access 
points offer secure, manageable, and reliable wireless connectivity with exceptional range and 
performance, as well as integrated radio frequency (RF) management.
Management and security servers—The 
and an IEEE 802.1X authentication server, such as 
, are required to manage and secure the wireless network. 
These products simplify the deployment and management of the WLAN infrastructure and help you 
implement an enterprise-class security solution.
WLAN client devices—Wi-Fi certified or IEEE 802.11 clients are required. Using 
 or 
 client devices provides additional benefits, including advanced enterprise-class 
security, extended RF radio management, and enhanced interoperability.
Infrastructure devices—As Cisco incorporates wireless capabilities into its switches and routers, 
customers receive a unified network system that extends to wireless traffic all of the enterprise-class 
scalability, security, reliability, and simplified manageability of the wired infrastructure. The 
is a Cisco SWAN infrastructure device.
