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. You should do the “Do I Know This Already?” quiz first. If you score 80 percent or higher, you might want to skip to the section “Exam Preparation Tasks.” If you score below 80 percent, you should review the entire chapter. Refer to Appendix A, “Answers to the ‘Do I Know This Already?’ Quizzes,” to confirm your answers. “Do I Know This Already?” Quiz The “Do I Know This Already?” quiz helps you determine your level of knowledge of this chapter’s topics before you begin. Table 10-1 details the major topics discussed in this chapter and their corresponding quiz questions. 1. What kind of AP does a controller manage? a. Lightweight AP b. Managed AP c. LDAP AP d.

Initial wireless deployments were based on standalone access points called autonomous access or fat APs. An autonomous AP is one that does not rely on a central control device. Al- though this is a great start, the problem lies in scalability. Eventually, you will have prob- lems keeping your configurations consistent, monitoring the state of each AP, and actually taking action when a change occurs. You end up with holes in your coverage area, and there is no real dynamic method to recover from that. There is certainly a need for central- ized control, and the Cisco Unified Wireless Network (CUWN) is based on centralized control. Eventually you will want or need to convert those standalone APs, if possible, to light- weight APs. A lightweight AP is managed with a controller. Traditionally after a site survey, you would deploy your wireless network based on the in- formation you gathered. As time passes, the environment you did the original site survey in will change. These changes, although sometimes subtle, will affect the wireless cover- age. The CUWN addresses these issues. An AP operating in lightweight mode gets its configuration from the controller. This means that you will perform most of your configuration directly on the controller. It dy- namically updates the AP as the environment changes. This also allows all the APs to share a common configuration, increasing the uniformity of your wireless network and eliminat- ing inconsistencies in your AP configurations. The Cisco Solution The CUWN solution is based on a centralized control model. Figure 10-1 illustrates the numerous components of the CUWN. As you can see, five functional areas exist: ■ Wireless clients 12_1587202115_ch10.qxp 9/29/08 2:40 PM Page 171 .
