Description
Cisco 5520 IEEE 802.11ac Wireless LAN Controller – 2.40 GHz
5 GHz – 2 x Network (RJ-45) – Gigabit Ethernet – Rail-mountable DEPOT
The Cisco 5520 Wireless Controller provides centralized control
management
and troubleshooting for high-scale deployments in service provider and large campus deployments. It offers flexibility to support multiple deployment modes in the same controller: for example
centralized mode for campus
Cisco FlexConnect™ mode for lean branches managed over the WAN
and mesh (bridge) mode for deployments where full Ethernet cabling is unavailable. As a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network
this controller provides real-time communications between Cisco Aironet® access points
the Cisco Prime®Infrastructure
and the Cisco Mobility Services Engine
and is interoperable with other Cisco controllers.
The Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) is an open and extensible
software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from time-consuming
repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively transforms your business. SD-Access
as part of Cisco DNA
enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with foundational capabilities. Cisco DNA Assurance
also part of Cisco DNA
provides a single source to monitor
modify
and manage your network and application data.
Features and Benefits
The Cisco 5520 Wireless Controller
optimized for 802.11ac Wave2 performance
high scale
and enhanced system uptime
supports:
- Intent-driven programmability and streaming telemetry.
- Subsecond access point and client failover for uninterrupted application availability.
- Extraordinary visibility into application traffic
using Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC)
the technology that includes the Network-Based Application Recognition 2 (NBAR2) engine
Cisco’s Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) capability. This allows to mark
prioritize
and block to conserve network bandwidth and enhance security. Customers can optionally export the flows to Cisco Prime Infrastructure or a third-party NetFlow collector. - Embedded wireless Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) policy classification engine that allows classification of client devices and application of user group policies.
- Deployment of guest access and Bonjour and Chromecast services in centralized deployments.
- Software-defined segmentation with Cisco TrustSec® technology
reducing Access Control List (ACL) maintenance
complexity
and overhead. - Integrated Cisco CleanAir® technology
providing the industry’s only self-healing and self-optimizing wireless network. - Simplified GUI wizard for quick setup and intuitive dashboards for monitoring and troubleshooting.
- Cisco DNA and SD-Access Wireless
as well as Cisco DNA Assurance.
