Collecting Required Tools and Information
This section lists the tools and information that you should have before installing the controller.
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Hardware
•
Controller (ships with factory-supplied power cord and mounting hardware).

The Cisco WCS uses an integral TFTP server. This means that third-party TFTP servers cannot run on

communication port.
