PRODUCT OVERVIEW

CiscoWorks WLSE is a network management solution for managing the entire Cisco Aironet autonomous WLAN infrastructure. CiscoWorks WLSE provides comprehensive air/radio frequency (RF) and device-management capabilities in ways that simplify deployment, reduce operational complexity, and provide administrators visibility into the WLAN. By automating several RF and device-management tasks, CiscoWorks WLSE reduces the costs and time needed for WLAN deployment, management, and security.
Table 1 describes CiscoWorks WLSE new features.

Table 1. CiscoWorks WLSE New Features

Feature

Description

Enhanced IDS with Management Frame Protection

Management Frame Protection (MFP), which authenticates management frames between Access Points, eliminates several WLAN attacks that arise due to spoofing of authorized devices. CiscoWorks WLSE enables MFP in the network and provides visibility into network events associated with MSP detection/protection.

Voice Support

Enables the deployment of voice with call admission control. This configures access points to prioritize/optimize WLAN bandwidth for voice traffic. It also monitors the health of the voice network, including calls with degraded QoS and jitter/loss.

User role Integration with Cisco Secure ACS

Centralized user administration by integrating with Cisco Secure ACS. Users can be defined and mapped to a user role centrally on Cisco Secure ACS.

Reports for Wireless LAN Services Module (WLSM)

Monitor the health of the Cisco Wireless LAN Services Module (WLSM) including the clients on each mobility group, client roaming summary and Wireless LAN Domain Services (WDS) status.
