Working in conjunction with radio ports, the Wireless Edge Services xl Module provides centralized wireless LAN configuration and management of advanced wireless services, enabling a resilient, highly secure, mobile multi-service network. With the addition of the module, the Switch 5300xl series enables network administrators to centrally manage a unified wired and wireless network. This centralized approach to wired and wireless management streamlines device configuration and administration of security and role-based user policies that are enforced at the edge of the network, regardless of how or where the user connects.
