The network summary page:
Shows the number of controllers, number of AP’s which controllers handle, total clients on those AP’s, out of service radios etc.

The controller summary page:
Shows specific information on a certain controller

The client page:
Shows information on clients connected to AP’s

The maps page:
Displays a topology of the network with colour codes for RSSI

RF fingerprinting is…
The calculation of the location of tracked devices

How does RF fingerprinting work?
Resolves location coordinates by determining how RF signals are received at every grid point within a building

What predicts the RF signals?
The WCS

The location appliance is Linux and Java based/

The interface for the location appliance is defined in SOAP/XML

2) Boot loader

What series of WLC does not need both file types?
The 2100 series WLC

What does the image archive contain?
1) RTO – real time OS
2) Shell scripts/java apps to run GUI/CLI
3) AP firmware code

What is the naming format for the image archive?
AIR-WLCxxxx[version].aes

What does the boot loader contain?
boot strap coding

What is the naming format for the boot loader?
AIR-WLCxxxx-ER.aes

On versions 4.1 or earlier, what was not required because it was included in the image archive?
The boot loader

Can the 2100 series WLC have its bootloader updated?
No

Both the 2 files for upgrading are encrypted and compressed with
AES

A ________ server is used to put the software onto the controller
TFTP

The TFTP server must be able to handle files larger than _____
32mb

To upgrade with the web interface what is the chain of clicks
commands > download file to controller window

The 5 parameters to enter when upgrading the software are:
1) TFTP server IP
2) File path
3) Maximum retries
4) Timeout
5) File name

What chain of commands is required to upgrade via the controller?
1) transfer download datatype code
2) transfer download mode tftp
3) transfer download serverip
4) transfer download path
5) transfer download filename
6) transfer download start
7) reset system

When the WLC is upgraded, the software on _____________ ______ is also upgraded
associated AP’s

How many AP’s can be upgraded at a time from the controller?
10

Configuration files from upgrade are stored in _________ and are executed when the controller ________
NVRAM, reboots

Configuration files on a WLC are in ____ format
XML

XML files have a ______________________ attached to them
file integrity check

What happens if the integrity of the XML config file has been compromised?
it is not loaded

What performs this integrity or CRC check?
The controller

What happens to config files being uploaded to TFTP servers on software versions 5.2 and higher?
