Cisco Wireless Lan Controller Integration

Cisco Wireless Lan Controller

Version : Cisco Wireless Controller 5500 Series, IOS version 8.0.140 and later.

Cisco has come up with the concept of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network (CUWN) solution, which helps make it easier to manage such large scale deployments. WLC is a device that assumes a central role in the CUWN. Access points, called Lightweight Access Points (LAPs) in the unified environment, register themselves with a WLC and tunnel all the management and data packets to the WLCs, which then switch the packets between wireless clients and the wired portion of the network. All the configurations are done on the WLC.

Netsurion monitors user logon behaviour, access point configuration changes, WLAN group management and service status and generates flex reports, flex dashboards and alerts for rogue access point detected and system state changed.

Netsurion Data Source Integrations for Cisco Wireless Lan Controller allows you to monitor the following components:-

Security - Rogue AP and attack detections.
Compliance - Access Point login/registration failures and success.
Operation - User account management, ACL configuration and DHCP activities.

Once Cisco Wireless Lan Controller is configured to deliver events to Netsurioon Manager; alerts, dashboards and reports can be configured into Netsurion.

Some of the Data Source Integrations available in Netsurion are listed below.
