Configuring Cisco WLSE and WLSE Rogue Scanning
The Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE) includes rogue scanning functions that AWMS supports.
This section contains the following topics and procedures, and several of these sections have additional sub-
procedures:

Introduction to Cisco WLSE

Configuring WLSE Initially in AWMS

Configuring IOS APs for WDS Participation

Configuring ACS for WDS Authentication

Configuring Cisco WLSE Rogue Scanning
You must enter one or more CiscoWorks WLSE hosts to be polled for discovery of Cisco devices and rogue AP
information.
Introduction to Cisco WLSE
Cisco WLSE functions as an integral part of the Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN)
architecture, which includes IOS Access Points, a Wireless Domain Service, an Access Control Server, and a
WLSE. In order for AWMS to obtain Rogue AP information from the WLSE, all SWAN components must be
properly configured.
Table 32 describes these components.
Configuring WLSE Initially in AWMS
Use the following general procedures to configure and deploy a WLSE device in AWMS:

Adding an ACS Server for WLSE

Enabling Rogue Alerts for Cisco WLSE

Configuring WLSE to Communicate with APs
