Implementing the Cisco SWAN Framework

Step 9 Select the profile you created or edited in Steps 2 through 8.

Step 10 Enter whatever security credentials are required to authenticate to the network and complete the authentication and association process.

Consult the product documentation for details on using CCKM with non-Cisco branded client adapters or third-party supplicants.

Cisco SWAN Radio Management Features

The Cisco SWAN framework includes a rich feature set for managing the radio transmission medium. The Cisco SWAN framework provides mechanisms for gathering radio management data from the system, as illustrated in Figure 13.

Figure 13 Cisco SWAN Framework Radio Management

Infrastructure access points and optional wireless clients gather radio data from the environment. Data is gathered and aggregated by the WDS and then collected by the CiscoWorks WLSE for intelligent processing. The CiscoWorks WLSE uses data to calculate optimal transmit power and channel settings (both initially and on an on-going basis), automatically diagnoses when an access point radio stops working properly, detects radio interference, and detects and locates rogue access points.

An extensive discussion of deployment and theory of operations of the Cisco SWAN radio management tools is beyond the scope of this document. This section focuses on the minimal steps required to prepare the system for Cisco SWAN radio management tools.
