Centralized WIFI management

tal0000011 · ‎08-15-2016

Hi All,

We have 3 x 2504 wireless controllers in 3 locations.

is there a product that can centrally manage them all ? whats the best practice for large organizations in multiple locations ?

Thanks.

tal0000011,

Based on the url under Management Interfaces, Cisco Wireless Control System(WCS) can be used to manage the WLCs that you have.

Hi,

Cisco Prime infrastructure is the replacement for the product WCS and you'll find it here,Which is the Cisco Wireless and wired network management solution.

There are different product from other vendors like solar wind that you can take a look.

Thanks! installed prime and learning it now.. it looks very robust.

i've been trying to get some pricing information from cisco with no luck.. any idea what the pricing model is ? we only have about 10 devices, 3 controllers and 6 APs in 3 locations.

here is the prime infrastructure licensing guide and I've answered a similar question here and that would help you with the part numbers
