Cisco 3504 User Manual

CHAPTER 1
Overview of Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller
Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller provides centralized control, management, and troubleshooting for small-
to medium-sized enterprises and branch offices. It offers flexibility by supporting the following deployment
modes in the same controller:
•
Centralized mode for campus environments
•
Cisco FlexConnect mode for lean branches managed over WAN
•
Mesh (bridge) mode for deployments in which full Ethernet cabling is unavailable
As a component of the Cisco Wireless solution, Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller provides real-time
communication between Cisco Aironet Access Points, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, and Cisco Mobility
Services Engine. Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller is interoperable with Cisco 5520 and 8540 Wireless
Controllers.
For more information about features and benefits, see the Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller datasheet.
