Cisco Structured Wireless Aware Network Solution

The Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network solution is a solution for network managers who need to deploy, operate and manage hundreds to thousands of access points using their existing Cisco infrastructure. It also extends to the WLAN the same level of security, scalability, and reliability that customers have come to expect in their wired LAN. The components of the Structured Wireless Aware Network are shown in Figure .

CiscoWorks WLSE provides centralized, turnkey management for the Cisco Wireless LAN infrastructure. The CiscoWorks WLSE unifies the other components in the solution and actively employs them to provide continual "Air/RF" monitoring, network security, and optimization. The CiscoWorks WLSE also assists network managers by automating and simplifying mass configuration deployment, fault monitoring and alerting, and conversion of the VxWorks OS running on Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points to Cisco IOS Software .

The introduction of the Cisco Structured Wireless Aware Network Solution introduces a new version of the CiscoWorks WLSE appliance platform (CiscoWorks WLSE 1130) that has the capacity to manage 2500 Access Points from a single CiscoWorks WLSE appliance.
