CHAPTER 10
Cisco Wireless Networks
Architecture
In the past, wireless networks were deployed on an AP-by-AP basis, and the configuration
for each AP was stored on the AP itself. Management solutions existed, but all in all this is
not a scalable solution. The Cisco Unified Wireless Solution involves an AP that is man-
aged by a controller device. The controller devices can manage multiple APs. The AP con-
figuration is performed on the controller, and each AP added to the network gets its
configuration from a controller. This makes it a more viable solution for large enterprise
networks.
