PRODUCT OVERVIEWThe Cisco® Catalyst® 6500 Series Wireless Services Module (WiSM) provides unparalleled security, mobility, redundancy, and ease of use for business-critical wireless LANs (WLANs). It delivers the most secure wireless system available for enterprise-scale WLANs. As a Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series module, it delivers centralized security policies, wireless intrusion prevention system (IPS) capabilities, award-winning RF management, quality of service (QoS), and Layer 3 fast secure roaming for WLANs. As a key component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, the Cisco WiSM provides the control, security, redundancy, and reliability that network managers need to scale and manage their wireless networks as easily as they scale and manage their traditional wired networks (Figure 1). The Cisco WiSM is a member of the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller family. It works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet® lightweight access points, the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance to support mission-critical wireless data, voice, and video applications. It provides real-time communication between lightweight access points and other WLAN controllers to deliver a secure and unified wireless solution. The Cisco WiSM smoothly integrates into existing Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series enterprise networks. It communicates using the emerging Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) standard to establish secure connectivity between access points and modules across Layer 3 networks. This protocol enables the automation of important WLAN configuration and management functions for cost-effective WLAN operations. With this integrated approach to large-scale wireless networking, customers can realize significant total cost of ownership benefits by streamlining support costs and reducing planned and unplanned network downtime. The Cisco WiSM scales to deliver secure, enterprise wireless access to main, branch, and remote campuses. It is designed for medium-sized and large enterprise facilities with clustering capabilities of up to 3600 lightweight access points per roaming domain. It scales to 300 lightweight access points per module with support for 10,000+ wireless client devices. For even greater scalability, the Cisco WiSM can be deployed in conjunction with other Cisco wireless LAN controllers (Figure 2). Figure 2. Unified Wireless LAN with the Cisco WiSM
The Cisco WiSM enables enterprises to create and enforce policies that support business-critical applications. From voice and data services to location tracking, the Cisco WiSM provides the control, scalability, and reliability that IT managers require to build secure, enterprise-scale 802.11 wireless networks. Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Intelligent Network ServicesThe Cisco WiSM extends the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series' rich, intelligent network services to the wireless edge. As an integrated part of the widely deployed series, the Cisco WiSM uses the full range of Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series hardware- and software-based intelligent switching services. It supports interoperability with Catalyst 6500 Series integrated services modules such as the Firewall Services Module (FWSM), Intrusion Detection Services Module (IDSM), Network Analysis Module (NAM), and IPSec VPN Services Module (VPNSM). Enterprise ReliabilityCisco delivers the highest level of reliability for mission-critical wireless networks. In the event of an access point failure, the Cisco WiSM automatically adjusts power on adjacent lightweight access points to cover the area where the failed access point provided service. In the event of an individual Cisco WiSM failure, access points automatically find a backup Cisco WiSM on the same Catalyst 6500 Series switch or any other Cisco LWAPP-enabled platform. Multiple Cisco WiSMs can be configured to work together as a single system to deliver a scalable WLAN network with tens of thousands of client devices. Multiple Redundancy OptionsThe Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series' rich set of high-availability and network-resiliency features are extended to wireless users via the Cisco WiSM. High availability of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720's Layer 3 Stateful Switchover (SSO), coupled with Cisco WiSM automated failover features, maximizes network uptime for wireless traffic. The Cisco WiSM allows IT managers to minimize the impact of a potential wireless outage by clustering multiple Cisco WiSM's together. This reduces the failure domain size when the Cisco WiSM is deployed lower in the network hierarchy. The Cisco WiSM supports N+1 and 1:1 redundancy topologies, allowing enterprises to scale their wireless networks and protect them from both hardware and software disruptions. N+1 redundancy supports single module failure redundancy for cost-effective WLAN deployments. 1:1 redundancy supports full redundancy of each active Cisco WiSM in the network. Only Cisco's WLAN solution allows users to control wireless deployment costs without sacrificing reliability. Intelligent RF ManagementThe Cisco WiSM comes equipped with embedded software for adaptive real-time RF management. The Cisco WLAN solution uses Cisco's patent-pending Radio Resource Management (RRM) algorithms that detect and adapt to changes in the air space in real time. These adjustments create the optimal topology for wireless networking in much the same way that routing protocols compute the best possible topology for IP networks. Cisco RMM creates an intelligent RF control plane for self-configuration, self-healing, and self-optimization of the WLAN (Figure 3). Figure 3. Enterprisewide RF Intelligence
Specific intelligent RF capabilities managed by the Cisco WiSM include:
Enterprise-Class SecurityThe Cisco WiSM adheres to the strictest level of security standards, including:
The result is the industry's most comprehensive WLAN security solution. In Cisco's WLAN solution, access points act as air monitors, communicating real-time information about the wireless domain to Cisco wireless LAN controllers. All security threats are rapidly identified and presented to network administrators via Cisco WCS, where accurate analysis takes place and corrective action can be taken. Cisco provides the only wireless LAN system that offers simultaneous wireless protection and wireless LAN service delivery. This helps to ensure complete wireless LAN protection, with no unnecessary overlay equipment costs or extra monitoring devices. This solution can be deployed initially as a standalone wireless IPS, and reconfigured later to add wireless LAN data service. This allows network managers to create a "defense shield" around their RF domains, containing unauthorized wireless activity until they are ready to deploy wireless LAN services.Cisco addresses wireless LAN security by offering multiple layers of protection (Figure 4), including:

Cisco WiSM enables rapid handoff between access points and multiple modules and/or controllers, providing smooth mobility with no interruption in service to the client. Intelligent queuing and contention management schemes provide effective resource management in the air space. The Cisco WiSM also supports QoS capabilities that are Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)-compliant and closely mirror the emerging IEEE 802.11e standard. Full compliance with the finished standard will be achieved via a software upgrade when the final standard is ratified.MobilityThe Cisco WiSM allows users to roam between access points and across bridged and routed subnets without requiring changes to the underlying infrastructure. Security and QoS context information follows users wherever they roam, helping to ensure that mobility does not compromise performance, reliability, or privacy. The Cisco WiSM does not require any modifications to existing infrastructures or client devices to enable mobility (mobile IP, for example).Simplified Deployment and ManagementThe Cisco WiSM is easy to deploy and cost-effective to own and operate. It provides maximum flexibility to deploy anywhere in the network from access, to distribution, to the core based upon customer business requirements. It supports zero-touch deployments that do not require manual or preconfiguration of the access points. It also supports template-based configuration management. These intuitive templates enable the quick application of systemwide security configurations, QoS policies, mobility groups, back-end services, and other important configurations via the easy-to-use, award-winning Cisco WLAN user interface.The Cisco WiSM supports several embedded troubleshooting tools. When deployed with Cisco WCS, it supports enhanced monitoring and troubleshooting features, including intuitive heat map displays, alarm filtering, event correlation, and granular reporting tools.
