Description
The Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller provides centralized control, management, and troubleshooting for small to medium-sized enterprises and branch offices. It offers flexibility to support multiple deployment modes in the same controller - a centralized mode for campus environments, Cisco FlexConnect mode for lean branches managed over the WAN, and a mesh (bridge) mode for deployments in which full Ethernet cabling is unavailable. As a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, the 3504 controller provides real-time communications between Cisco Aironet Access Points, Cisco Prime Infrastructure, and the Cisco Mobility Services Engine, and is interoperable with the Cisco 5520 and 8540 Wireless Controllers.
Highlights of the Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller
- Quiet operation, with a small form factor and compact design ideal for space-constrained deployments, providing flexibility without compromising on features
- Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology to support next-generation 802.11ac Wave 2 deployments using existing cabling infrastructure
- Subsecond access point and client failover for uninterrupted application availability
- An embedded wireless bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy classification engine that allows classification of client devices and application of user group policies
- Guest access and Bonjour and Chromecast services in centralized deployments
- Software-defined segmentation with Cisco TrustSec technology, reducing access control list (ACL) maintenance, complexity, and overhead
- Integrated Cisco CleanAir technology, providing the industry's only self-healing and self-optimizing wireless network
- A simplified GUI wizard for quick setup and intuitive dashboards for monitoring and troubleshooting
