Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN) Implementation Guide

The Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN) provides the framework to integrate and extend wired and wireless networks to deliver the lowest possible total cost of ownership for companies deploying wireless LANs (WLANs). Cisco SWAN extends “wireless awareness” into important elements of the network infrastructure, providing the same level of security, scalability, reliability, ease of deployment, and management for wireless LANs that organizations have come to expect from their wired LANs.

This document provides a brief technical synopsis of the Cisco SWAN framework and functionality and provides details on implementing the solution.

Audience

The audience for this document is Cisco Systems Engineers, Consulting Systems Engineers, Product Sales Specialists, and Cisco customers implementing and evaluating the Cisco SWAN framework.

This document is not an extensive theoretical discussion on the Cisco SWAN framework; it is intended as a reference to outline the implementation procedures for selected Cisco SWAN components, features, and capabilities.
