RF management, Quality of Service (QoS) and mobility across an entire enterprise. It works in conjunction with other controllers, Cisco WCS, and access points to provide network managers with a robust Wireless LAN (WLAN) solution that enables business-critical wireless applications.
AIR-WLC4402-12-K9—This 4402-12 controller uses two redundant GigE connections to bypass • single network failures. That is, at any given time one of the Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controller GigE connections is active and the other is passive. In case of a network failure, the active connection becomes passive, and the passive connection becomes active.

Note has one back-panel slots for a future expansion module. The controllers can accommodate a second, redundant power supply. Refer to the Cisco 4400 Series Power Supply Quick Start Guide. All controller models come from the factory with integral 19-inch EIA equipment rack flush-mount ears.

This is required for downloading Operating System software updates. (Contact Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for software updates.) The Cisco WCS uses an integral TFTP server. This means that third-party TFTP servers cannot run on Note the same workstation as the Cisco WCS, because Cisco WCS and third-party TFTP servers use the same communication port.
