vWLC – Virtual Wireless Access Controller
Description
vWLC is a software-based wireless access controller for building corporate networks in large enterprises. One of the key advantages of the solution is a built-in software router, which allows the implementation of data and management traffic at the L2 and L3 levels, as well as firewalling functions for the corporate network.
It is a software analog of Eltex WLC series hardware wireless access controllers and it provides the same features and comparable performance:
- configuration of Wi-Fi networks (SSID);
- updating access point software;
- monitoring of access points operation and collecting statistics;
- user authentication and authorization;
- managing radio parameters and setting up seamless roaming;
- traffic routing and protection.
Eltex Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 access points are supported. The controller is preconfigured, requiring minimal time for implementation into the network infrastructure and initial configuration. The number of access points supported by the controller depends on the allocated resources of the virtual environment and the number of purchased licenses.
It runs on a Linux server on Oracle VirtualBox and VMware ESXi hypervisors. It is managed through a convenient web interface or CLI.
Supported devices
Functions
The controller is managed through a user-friendly web interface accessible from a browser or CLI. Tools are available for administrators to fine-tune network and Wi-Fi point parameters, monitor their operation and identify problems, manage authentication and configure radio parameters.
