W
Wireless Domain Services. An access point providing WDS on your wireless
WDS
LAN maintains a cache of credentials for CCKM-capable client devices on your
wireless LAN. When a CCKM-capable client roams from one access point to
another, the WDS access point forwards the client's credentials to the new access
point with the multicast key. Only two packets pass between the client and the
new access point, greatly shortening the reassociation time.
Wired Equivalent Privacy. An optional security mechanism defined within the
WEP
802.11 standard designed to make the link integrity of wireless devices equal to
that of a cable.
Wireless LAN Solutions Engine. The WLSE is a specialized appliance for
WLSE
managing Cisco Aironet wireless LAN infrastructures. It centrally identifies and
configures access points in customer-defined groups and reports on throughput
and client associations. WLSE centralized management capabilities are further
enhanced with an integrated template-based configuration tool for added
configuration ease and improved productivity.
A computing device with an installed client adapter.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the new interim security solution from the
WPA
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA). WPA, mostly synonymous
to Simple Security Network (SSN), relies on the interim version of IEEE
Standard 802.11i. WPA supports WEP and TKIP encryption algorithms as well
as 802.1X and EAP for simple integration with existing authentication systems.
WPA key management uses a combination of encryption methods to protect
communication between client devices and the access point.
