Cisco WLAN Solution Wired Connections
Cisco WLAN Solution Wired Connections
The Cisco Wireless LAN Solution components communicate with each other using
•The Cisco 2000 Series Wireless LAN Controller connects to the network using from one to four
•The Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controller connects to the network using one or two
•The Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN Controller connects to the network using one or two
•The controllers on the Wireless Services Module (WiSM), installed in a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch, connect to the network through switch ports on the switch.
•The Wireless LAN Controller Network Module, installed in a Cisco Integrated Services Router, connects to the network through the ports on the router.
•Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points connects to the network using
Cisco WLAN Solution Wireless LANs
The Cisco Wireless LAN Solution can control up to 16 Wireless LANs for lightweight access points. Each wireless LAN has a separate wireless LAN ID (1 through 16), a separate wireless LAN SSID (wireless LAN name), and can be assigned unique security policies. Using software release 3.2 and later you can configure both static and dynamic WEP on the same wireless LAN.
The Cisco 1000 series lightweight access points broadcast all active Cisco WLAN Solution wireless LAN SSIDs and enforce the policies defined for each wireless LAN.
Note Cisco recommends that you assign one set of VLANs for wireless LANs and a different set of VLANs for management interfaces to ensure that controllers operate with optimum performance and ease of management.
If management over wireless is enabled across Cisco Wireless LAN Solution, the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution operator can manage the System across the enabled wireless LAN using CLI and Telnet, http/https, and SNMP.
To configure the Cisco WLAN Solution wireless LANs, refer to Chapter 6, “Configuring WLANs.”
