"CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine（WLSE）是Cisco公司的一款用于管理无线局域网（WLAN）的解决方案，旨在提供集中控制、安全管理以及高效运维的能力。它主要适用于中大型企业和特定无线市场，能够支持数百到数千个Cisco Aironet接入点的管理。WLSE有助于简化WLAN的部署和安全设置，确保网络运行平稳和可靠，并具备WLAN入侵检测功能，可识别如非法接入点、自组网络和异常管理帧等潜在攻击行为。此外，还提供了CiscoWorks WLSE Express版本，适应不同的管理需求。"
本文档详细介绍了CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine（WLSE）2.13版本，这是Cisco Autonomous WLAN Solution的重要组成部分。随着无线局域网在企业中的广泛应用，网络管理者需要一个能有效管理和保护WLAN的工具。WLSE正好满足这一需求，它提供了一套集中的管理平台，允许管理员对大规模的Cisco Aironet接入点进行管理。
WLSE的核心功能包括：
1. **集中管理**：WLSE允许网络管理员从单一控制台管理大量的Cisco Aironet接入点，大大提升了管理效率，减少了手动配置的时间和错误。
2. **安全自动化**：通过WLSE，可以自动部署安全策略，确保WLAN的安全性，防止未经授权的访问和恶意攻击。
3. **故障检测与预防**：内置的WLAN入侵检测系统能够监控无线网络，识别并报告可能的入侵行为，如未授权的接入点（rogue access points）、自组网络（ad-hoc networks）以及可能导致WLAN攻击的异常管理帧。
4. **性能保障**：WLSE确保了WLAN的平稳运行和可靠性，通过实时监控和优化网络性能，预防潜在的问题。
5. **CiscoWorks WLSE Express**：对于规模较小或者有特定需求的环境，Cisco提供了WLSE的精简版本，提供了基本的WLAN管理功能，适应不同用户的需求。
CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine是一款强大的工具，为企业提供了无线网络管理的全面解决方案，通过自动化和智能化的管理方式，提升了网络安全性，降低了运维复杂度，确保了业务连续性和效率。

CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine 2.13
Organizations are adopting wireless LANs (WLANs) to increase business productivity and accessibility. Network managers need a solution
that provides them with the control they need to effectively manage and secure their WLANs. CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine
(WLSE) and CiscoWorks WLSE Express play a key role in the Cisco Autonomous WLAN Solution for managing Cisco Aironet
®
access
points. CiscoWorks WLSE can centrally manage hundreds to thousands of Cisco Aironet access points for medium-sized to large
enterprises and wireless vertical markets. CiscoWorks WLSE helps to simplify and automate the deployment and security of WLANs, to
ensure their smooth operation and dependability. CiscoWorks WLSE also provides WLAN Intrusion detection (IDS) capabilities for
detecting WLAN intrusions such as rogue access points, ad-hoc networks, and excess management frames on the air that typically signal a
WLAN attack.
Also available is the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine Express (WLSE Express), for small- and midsized-business or enterprise
branch-office WLAN deployments of up to 100 Cisco Aironet access points. CiscoWorks WLSE Express includes the same WLAN
management features of CiscoWorks WLSE, plus an integrated and embedded user authentication and authorization server, making it an
ideal solution for remote branch-office deployments with limited WAN bandwidth. Please refer to the
CiscoWorks WLSE Express data
sheet for more details.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
CiscoWorks WLSE is a complete solution for managing Cisco Aironet autonomous WLAN networks. As the management component of
the Cisco Autonomous WLAN Solution, CiscoWorks WLSE provides comprehensive air/radio frequency (RF) and device-management
capabilities in ways that simplify deployment, reduce operational complexity, and provide administrators visibility into the WLAN. By
automating several RF and device-management tasks, CiscoWorks WLSE reduces the costs and time needed for WLAN deployment,
management, and security.
Through a WLAN intrusion detection system (IDS), CiscoWorks WLSE quickly and securely detects, locates (Figure 1), and disables
unauthorized (rogue) access points, helping to ensure that security policies are applied consistently throughout the network. The latest IDS
addition is the Management Frame Protection (MFP), which authenticates management frames between Access Points, eliminating several
WLAN attacks that arise due to spoofing of authorized devices. WLSE enables MFP in the network and provides visibility into network
events associated with MSP detection/protection. CiscoWorks WLSE .further enhances the security of the WLAN by monitoring for
unplanned (ad-hoc or peer-to-peer networks) networks, unauthorized WLAN client networks, client spoofing, and other WLAN attacks
that may introduce security openings in the network. These capabilities can benefit any organization, including those that have not formally
deployed WLANs but want to guard against intruders.
CiscoWorks WLSE also supports Voice over WLANs by enabling the deployment of voice with call admission control. This enables
access points to prioritize/optimize WLAN bandwidth for voice traffic. It also monitors the health of the voice network, including calls
with degraded QoS and jitter/loss.
