Firewall for wireless deployment

[Jonn cos]

Hi all,

I am currently working on a client RFP. They are inquiring about wireless controllers and AP alongwith Firewall and IPS/IDS solution for wireless. I want to know that does wireless lan controller (5760 in this case) supports firewall/IPS/IDS or is there any other box designed for this purpose ?

To be honest... No. Cisco has a wIPS feature but that requires NCS or Prime infrastructure along with an MSE. There is no built in firewall. They must be looking at an Aruba solution to be honest.
