When you know the IP Address of a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Service Port or name, do the
following to add the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller to the Cisco WCS database.
• Select Configure/Controllers to have Cisco WCS display the All Controllers page.
Note: Cisco SWAN recommends that you manage Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers via
the dedicated front-panel Service Port
for improved security. When you are
managing a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller that has its Service port disabled, and
when you are managing a Cisco 2000 Series Wireless LAN Controller (which has no
Service Port), you must manage the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller through its
Management Interface
.
