Aironet is a maker of wireless networking equipment It is a subsidiary of Cisco. It was started by ex- Marconi Wireless employees in 1986 as Telesystems SLW in Canada, right after the United States Federal Communications Commission opened up the ISM bands for spread spectrum license-free use.
A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them.
The inside of a Cisco 1900-series switch. Catalyst is the brand for a variety of network switches, wireless controllers, and wireless access points sold by Cisco Systems. While commonly associated with Ethernet switches, a number of different types of network interfaces have been available throughout the history of the brand. Cisco acquired ...
Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) is a protocol that can control multiple Wi-Fi wireless access points at once. This can reduce the amount of time spent on configuring, monitoring and troubleshooting a large network. The system will also allow network administrators to closely analyze the network.
WLCs are generally used in combination with the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) to manage light-weight access points in bulk by the network administrator or network operations center. [1] The wireless LAN controller is part of the Data Plane within the Cisco Wireless Model.
This notebook computer is connected to a wireless access point using a PC Card wireless card. An example of a Wi-Fi network. A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building.
The bridge has three ports. A is connected to bridge port 1, B is connected to bridge port 2, C is connected to bridge port 3. A sends a frame addressed to B to the bridge. The bridge examines the source address of the frame and creates an address and port number entry for host A in its forwarding table. The bridge examines the destination ...
802.11b has a maximum raw data rate of 11 Mbit/s and uses the same CSMA/CA media access method defined in the original standard. Due to the CSMA/CA protocol overhead, in practice the maximum 802.11b throughput that an application can achieve is about 5.9 Mbit/s using TCP and 7.1 Mbit/s using UDP.
