Introduction
The Cisco WCS Navigator manages multiple Cisco WCSs (running the same release as Navigator) and provides a unified view of the network. It uses SOAP/XML over HTTPs to communicate with individual WCSs. Navigator provides monitoring functionality and reporting capability across all WCSs. In addition, network-wide searches are available. In Windows and Linux, Cisco WCS Navigator runs as a service continuously and resumes running after a reboot.
Cisco WCS Navigator delivers an aggregated platform for enhanced scalability, manageability, and visibility of large-scale implementations of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network. This software-based solution gives network administrators easy access to information from multiple geographically diverse Cisco WCS management platforms. It supports partitioning of the unified wireless network at the management level.
