•Configuration—Allows you to apply configuration changes to access points.

•Fault and policy monitoring—Monitors device fault and performance conditions, LEAP server responses, and policy misconfigurations.

•Reporting—Allows you to track device, client and security information. You can email, print, and export reports.

•Firmware—Allows you to upgrade the firmware on access points and bridges.

•Radio management—Helps you manage your WLAN radio environment.

The WLSE works by gathering fault, performance, and configuration information about Cisco devices that it discovers in your network. The devices must be properly configured for discovery. After devices are discovered, you decide which devices to manage with the WLSE.
