WLC and WLSE

carl_townshend · ‎03-20-2008

Hi all, I have got to persuade my boss to migrate from WLSE to a proper LWAPP with WLC solution, He seems to think the WLSE is the same thing, can anyone tell me the major differences between these, ie what the WLSE does not do compared to the WLC/LWAPP setup.

thanks

Access Point in WLSE environment come with firmware installed in the. LWAPP downlaods the firmware after it joins the controller. It comes only with bootup image which is why it is called lightweight.
