Introduction to Cisco WLSE

Cisco WLSE functions as an integral part of the Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN)
architecture, which includes IOS Access Points, a Wireless Domain Service, an Access Control Server, and a
WLSE. In order for AWMS to obtain Rogue AP information from the WLSE, all SWAN components must be
properly configured.
