Architecture and Key Components

The family of WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers consists of five products. These deliver varying levels of performance and scalability

ranging from 4 to 512 access points. Controller clustering capabilities simplify configuration and enable easy network scaling, allowing

massive networks of up to 32,000 access points.

Features and Beneﬁts

Secure Seamless Mobility

WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers are designed for easy wireless

integration within an existing, wired network, authentication,

authorization, and accounting (AAA) security framework, requiring

no changes to the existing LAN topology or configuration.

The WLC Series supports the highest levels of security for both

voice and data, including IEEE 802.11i, WPA/WPA2, and Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. The WLC Series also

provides comprehensive built-in Wireless Intrusion Prevention

(WIP) and Wireless Intrusion Detection (WID) features to detect

and mitigate rogue access points, denial of service (DoS) attacks,

and other common attacks. Unlike WLAN systems that rely

entirely on centralized controllers for security policy enforcement,

Juniper’s security/authentication model is administered centrally

and enforced in a distributed fashion.

WiththeWLCSeriescontrollers,upto64controllersofanysize

may be grouped to form a single Mobility Domain

which shares

user session information between member controllers. This allows

users to roam seamlessly from access point to access point

indoors and outdoors, even across different controllers within a

given Mobility Domain, without ever needing to re-authenticate.

Global Identity-Based Networking

The WLC Series controllers give users the same identity-based

services and privileges, no matter where they connect. The WLC

Series offers seamless roaming at a single location, and it enables

the same secure mobility and consistent service profiles at

multiple locations in the same network.

Applying identity-based networking globally offers great benefits

to users who frequently work at different sites (for example,

doctors who serve many hospitals within a hospital system,

teachers across a school district, or IT users across multiple

campuses). Whatever the experience a user has at one site, it can

be replicated at another similar site.

Optimized Trac Flows

WLC Series Wireless LAN Controllers also enable intelligent

switching, which combines both centralized and distributed

data forwarding based on the requirements of the underlying

application. This results in optimized traffic flows, radically

reduced latency, and massive scalability. With the scalability and

performance advantages of distributed switching, the WLC Series

can support the most demanding wireless applications, including

voice over WLAN for thousands of users, video services, real-time

location services, and 802.11n—all without the need for expensive

WLAN controller upgrades.
