Cisco SWAN

Cisco Structured Wireless Aware Network—Cisco’s

 

framework for delivering integrated wired and wireless LAN

 

networks.

 

 

WDS

Wireless Domain Service — Cisco IOS software functionality

 

enabling advanced Cisco SWAN functionality.

 

 

WLCCP

Wireless LAN Context Control Protocol —A Cisco-defined

 

control protocol for Cisco SWAN.

 

 

RM

Radio Management — Access points participating in radio

 

management scan the radio environment and send reports to

 

the WDS device on such radio information as potential rogue

 

access points, associated clients, client signal strengths, and

 

the radio signals from other access points.

 

 

AAA

Authentication Authorization and Accounting — A common

 

acronym used to describe secure network access services.

 

 

CiscoWorks WLSE

CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine — A component

 

of the Cisco SWAN framework that provides many features for

 

managing the wireless LAN, including making configuration

 

changes, providing reports, collecting radio monitoring and

 

management information, and performing device discovery.

 

 

ACS

CiscoSecure Access Control Server — An optional AAA

 

product from Cisco that is often used with the Cisco SWAN

 

framework.

 

 

WLSM

Wireless LAN Service Module — A service module

 

component of the Cisco SWAN framework. The WLSM is a

 

member of the Catalyst 6500 service module family that

 

enables the Cisco SWAN switch-based WDS architecture.

 

 

Client

A wireless end-user device such as a laptop computer, PDA, or

 

wireless IP phone.

 

 

MN

Mobile Node — In Cisco SWAN framework terminology, a

 

mobile node is a valid, authenticated wireless client device.

 

 

Infrastructure Access

In the Cisco SWAN framework, an infrastructure access point

Point

is an access point that is registered with a WDS-host device

 

and can deliver Cisco SWAN functionality.

 

 

WLAN Control Domain

A WLAN control domain consists of a WDS-host device, its

 

registered infrastructure access points, and all of its mobile

 

nodes.

 

 

 

WDS Host

An IOS-based Cisco device hosting WDS that is either a Cisco

 

Aironet Access Point or the WLSM.
