Cisco WLC
The Cisco Unified WLAN architecture consists of Wireless LAN Controllers (WLC) and APs. The APs are managed
using Light Weight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP). At any time, the WLC has all the information about the APs and
devices seen/associated with these APs.
Integration with Cisco WLC allows the system to fetch this information from WLC. Using this information the system
can automatically classify devices managed by WLC and do location tracking of devices seen by LWAPP APs in
sensor-less or sensor and AP mixed environment.
Important: Currently, the system supports the following managed APs: Cisco Aironet 1000 Series, Cisco Aironet
1100 Series, Cisco Aironet 1130 Series, Cisco Aironet 1140 Series, Cisco Aironet 1200 Series, Cisco Aironet 1230
AG Series, Cisco Aironet 1240 AG Series, Cisco Aironet 1250 Series, and Cisco Aironet 1300 Series. The system
supports WLC version 4.2 to 6.0.182.0.
WLC Integration Status: If WLC integration is enabled, the system obtains data from the configured WLCs,
which are individually enabled.
If you select WLC Integration Enabled, you can configure Automatic Synchronization Settings. The system
disables WLC by default. However, automatically enables WLC Integration when you add a new WLC.
Current Status: Displays the Current Status of the WLC: Running or Stopped. An Error status is shown in one of
the following cases:
One of the configured and enabled WLCs has a hostname, which cannot be resolved
One of the configured and enabled WLCs is not reachable
