Cloud-Based AP Architecture in Cisco Wireless Architecture
Installing an AP management platform, such as Cisco Prime Infrastructure, is necessary in the case of cloud-based AP architecture in order to configure and administer any autonomous AP in the network. The management platform needs to be set up in the internet cloud so that any autonomous AP can be managed and configured from a single location. For centralized management, monitoring the wireless performance, and controlling the actions of wireless autonomous APs, Cisco Wireless Architecture & AP modes employ Cisco Meraki, a cloud-based management solution. Cisco Meraki AP only needs to register with it once; no manual setup or purchases are necessary. All APs will automatically configure themselves in accordance with Cisco Meraki management after registering with the company. Any AP can be configured using the Cisco Meraki dashboard after auto-configuration. The ability to centrally design, administer, and monitor all APs from the cloud is its most significant feature. The function of the Cisco Meraki controller in a cloud network is explained in the graphic below. Cisco Meraki pushes configuration code and updates to cloud network APs, and it can also adjust the channel and transmission power of any AP. Cisco Meraki has complete control over AP statistics and interfaces.
Cisco Wireless Architecture and AP Modes
Cisco Wireless Architecture and AP modes connect a wireless network to a wired network to safely transfer data. Cisco Wireless Architecture and AP modes are classified into three categories:
- Autonomous AP architecture
- Cloud-based AP architecture
- Split MAC AP architecture.
