Term	Definition

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.

These MNs collect the requested data and send it to the WDS. The WDS aggregates data from the MNs and passes the aggregated data to the CiscoWorks WLSE.
