CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine 2.5: Page 5 of 5

The convoluted on-board documentation made the process clear as mud, but the mud was washed away in three minutes with the help of Cisco's support folks. To simplify this process in the future, Cisco is shipping all new access points with IOS, the standard OS for most Cisco LAN switches.

When all was said and done, the search results came quickly and clearly. Using the WLSE, I discovered three rogue access points and the attached switch port information corresponding to each. Very cool!
