Talk:Lightweight Access Point Protocol

I'm studying the CCNP BCMSN course and LWAPP is not the control protocol it is a tunneling method/protocol to allow the LAP's to connect to the WLC's. The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is the name of the server application presenting a GUI to cover the functions mentioned in this article.

Comments?


 * Well, I'm currently not studying CCNP, but I was currently sniffing the traffic, between APs and WLC, and while it also provides the tunneling as you said, it is also used to control the APs.
 * It seems like almost all (or all?) communication between WLC and AP is through that protocol. So I think the "control" is a right term. 131.179.144.190 (talk) 20:50, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I know this is old, but lol: "it's not a control protocol, it's a protocol to allow communication with the controller". Think about that for a moment.... --173.252.44.52 (talk) 04:47, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

I've made some edits and added some links to/from other articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.2.106.229 (talk) 06:52, 15 August 2008 (UTC) I have used 3Com's AP controller and sniffer tags the control protocol as 'LWAPP'; don't know if there are the same.--水水 (talk) 03:38, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
