As the Company wireless administrator, you required to be knowledgeable about the
wireless LAN components. Which two statements about these components are true?
(Select two)
In the autonomous access point solution, control is provided by the WLAN controller.
In the lightweight access point solution, WLAN management is provided by the WLAN
Control System (WCS).
In the autonomous access point solution, control is provided by the WDS (Wireless Domain
Services).
Cisco Aironet autonomous access points cannot be supported by the Cisco Unified Wireless
Network.
Ii the lightweight access point solution, WLAN management is provided by the WLAN
Solution Engine (WLSE).
Cisco Aironet lightweight access points cannot be supported by the Cisco Unified Wireless
Network.
Answer: Part 2
Explanation:
There is a trend in the WLAN space toward centralized intelligence and control. In this new
architecture, a WLAN controller system is used to create and enforce policies across many
different lightweight access points.
As more vendors migrate to a hierarchical design, and as larger networks are built using
lightweight access points, there is a need for a standardized protocol that governs how
lightweight access points communicate with WLAN systems. This is the role of the Internet
Engineering Task Force’s (IETF’s) latest draft specification, Lightweight Access Point
Protocol (LWAPP). With LWAPP, large multivendor wireless networks can be deployed with
maximum capabilities and increased flexibility.
Q) Is Cisco SWAN WDS required for RF management when the Cisco SWAN autonomous
access point solution is used?
A)
Yes. A WDS device is required for the Cisco SWAN autonomous access-point solution.
For deployments that use access-point-based WDS, at least one Cisco SWAN WDS access
point per subnet is required for RF management of that subnet. For deployments that use
the switch-based WDS on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series WLSM, up to 300 access points
per device across subnets can be supported by a single Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series WLSM.www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5678/ps6306/prod_white_paper0900aecd8
