WDS Wireless Domain Services (WDS). An access point providing WDS on your

wireless LAN maintains a cache of credentials for CCKM-capable client devices

on your wireless LAN. When a CCKM-capable client roams from one access

point to another, the WDS access point forwards the client’s credentials to the

new access point with the multicast key. Only two packets pass between the

client and the new access point, greatly shortening the reassociation time.

WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy. An optional security mechanism defined within the

802.11 standard designed to make the link integrity of wireless devices equal to

that of a cable.

WLSE Wireless LAN Solutions Engine. The WLSE is a specialized appliance for

managing Cisco Aironet wireless LAN infrastructures. It centrally identifies and

configures access points in customer-defined groups and reports on throughput

and client associations. WLSE's centralized management capabilities are further

enhanced with an integrated template-based configuration tool for added

configuration ease and improved productivity.

WNM Wireless Network Manager.

workstation A computing device with an installed client adapter.

WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a standards-based, interoperable security

enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access

control for existing and future wireless LAN systems. It is derived from and will

be forward-compatible with the upcoming IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA

leverages TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) for data protection and

802.1X for authenticated key management.
