Define access point deployment locations based on the site survey and customer requirements. Determine the WLC design: –Redundancy (primary, secondary, tertiary) –Placement of WLCs in distribution layer –Whether remote sites will use local centralized controllers Determine the number of mobility groups that you will need. Plan how to support internal VLANs and guest access if needed.

© 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.DESGN v Module Summary Cisco Unified Wireless Network architecture centralizes WLAN configuration and control on WLCs that control LWAPP access points. The Cisco Unified Wireless Network provides transparent roaming supporting both intracontroller and intercontroller roaming. Deterministic controller redundancy with integrated RRM provides the highest-quality roaming experience. An RF survey in a wireless network design determines the characteristics of the wireless network and access point placement to provide optimal RF coverage for wireless clients.
