Scope 

This document is meant to be used for successfully deploying Cisco Prime

™

 Infrastructure. The assumption is that 

the basic wired and wireless network is already deployed. Cisco Prime Infrastructure will be used to manage, 

modify, or ehnance the existing network. This guide has been updated for Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1. 

Introduction 

Combining the wireless functionality of Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) with Cisco Prime LAN 

Management Solution (LMS), Cisco Prime Infrastructure simplifies and automates many of the day-to-day tasks 

associated with deploying, maintaining, and managing the end-to-end network infrastructure from a single pane of 

glass. The new converged solution delivers many of the existing wireless capabilities for RF management, user 

access, reporting, and troubleshooting along with wired lifecycle functions such as discovery, inventory, 

configuration and image management, plug and play, integrated best practices, and reporting. 

 

The image above shows a typical network diagram of a global enterprise that has many sites with varying sizes. 

You may see traffic coming from one site to another, as well as to and from sites to headquarters. How can we 

measure which site is consuming most of the WAN bandwidth? Which site has the worst user experience from an 

application point of view? Which site has more wired clients compared to wireless clients? This is just a partial list 

of questions that a network engineer could have and that can be easily answered with Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
