The Cisco Spaces: Connector (referred to as Connector in all subsequent references in this document) enables Cisco Spaces to run different services on Connector, which in turn communicates with different network devices like controllers and switches

The various services that run on the Connector gather and aggregate data from controllers, access points (APs), and switches efficiently and sends aggregated data to Cisco Spaces. The Connector architecture allows multiple controllers, APs, and switches to connect to Cisco Spaces through a single point (the Connector). A single Connector can connect to a Cisco Wireless Controller, Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller, and a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series and Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches at the same time.


Note

The term controller is used in this document to refer to the following. See Compatibility Matrix for specific details.

  • Cisco Wireless Controller (indicated on the Cisco Spaces dashboard as WLC AireOS)

  • Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller (indicated on the Cisco Spaces dashboard as Catalyst WLC)

  • Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst Access Points (Cisco EWC-AP)

The Connector sends data to Cisco Spaces over HTTPS; A proxy can also be route the data.


Note

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of the Connector.
