Руководство По Проектированию для Cisco Cisco Aironet 1522 Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point

The wireless mesh solution is supported by Cisco 5500, Cisco 4400, Cisco 2500, and Cisco 2100 Series 
Wireless LAN Controllers. We recommend the Cisco 5500 and 4400 Series Controllers (see 

) 

for wireless mesh deployments because they can scale to large numbers of access points and can support 
Layer 3 CAPWAP.

For more information about the Cisco 5500, 4400, 2500, and 2100 Series Wireless LAN Controllers, see 

and 

With the 7.2 release and later releases, the Cisco 4400, 2100, and 6500 (WiSM) wireless LAN 
controllers are no longer supported.

The Cisco WCS provides a graphical platform for wireless mesh planning, configuration, and 
management. Network managers can use Cisco WCS to design, control, and monitor wireless mesh 
networks from a central location.

With Cisco WCS, network administrators have a solution for RF prediction, policy provisioning, 
network optimization, troubleshooting, user tracking, security monitoring, and wireless LAN systems 
management. Graphical interfaces make wireless LAN deployment and operations simple and 
cost-effective. Detailed trending and analysis reports make Cisco WCS vital to ongoing network 
operations.

Cisco WCS runs on a server platform with an embedded database, which provides scalability that allows 
hundreds of controllers and thousands of Cisco mesh access points to be managed. Controllers can be 
located on the same LAN as Cisco WCS, on separate routed subnets, or across a wide-area connection.

Multiple, geographically dispersed Cisco WCS management platforms can be cost-effectively and easily 
managed by the Cisco WCS Navigator. Cisco WCS Navigator supports up to 20 Cisco WCS management 
platforms with manageability of up to 30,000 mesh access points from a single management console. 
Together, Cisco WCS and Cisco WCS Navigator provide a wireless LAN management solution for even 
the largest enterprise environments and outdoor deployments.
