The Cisco Wireless Control System (Cisco WCS) is a Cisco Wireless LAN Solution network management tool that adds to the capabilities of the Web User Interface and the Command Line Interface, moving from an individual controller to a network of controllers. The Cisco WCS runs on Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES servers.
The Cisco WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault management, and accounting options used at the controller level, and in addition adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
Cisco WCS Versions
The Cisco WCS is offered in two versions which support different feature levels:
•Cisco WCS Base, which includes wireless client data access, rogue access point containment functions, Cisco WLAN Solution monitoring and control, and which allows client and rogue access point location to the nearest access point.
•Cisco WCS Location, which includes all the features present in the Cisco WCS Base, plus integration with location appliance, and high-accuracy rogue access point and client location to within 10 meters.
