– Advantages:– No added hardware at the site of the test – Very large and robust and accurate tests
– Things to consider while in design: – AP is on the ceiling, so the RF tests aren't perfect. – AP Radio has to stop serving clients to run the tests

Campus networks are the breaking point
Legacy networks are complex, constrained and costly
“My network is full of bottlenecks and cannot keep up with new applications”
Constrained apps limit productivity
“I have multiple tools to manage different parts of my network, maintenance & troubleshooting are difficult”
Complexity is stifling innovation
“The cost of fork-lift hardware upgrades, licensing, and support contracts to keep my network running limit my organizations ability to invest”
Cost of running the business is high

Per User Tunneled Node
• Secured and flexible control of access layer– With ClearPass or switch configuration, only traffic from a
specific user/device role is sent to the mobility controller – Policies (e.g., QoS, ACL, rate-limit) can be enforced at Tunneled
Node ports or at the controller
• Access to Controller’s applications– Users can access Controller’s applications such as stateful
firewall and AppRF
• Higher availability and scalability– Load balance to multiple controllers for high scalability– Stateful failover to standby management module for high
availability
• Support on 5400R/v3, 3810, and 2930F/M. Requires AOS 8.1 or later in the controllers

Q&A
Remember when security was simple?
IT issued devices
Nothing was mobile
The day ended at 5 PM
Things have changed
Users want the latest devices and apps
Everything is mobile,even the office
The workday never ends
Laptops and work fromanywhere programs
take flight
Enterprise data leaves the perimeter
VPN clients become a requirementas users flock to open networks
User behavior leads to needfor more automation
Mobile Devices and User Behavior Force IT’s Hand
Use of smart devices and removablemedia exceed expectations
Wi-Fi surpasses wired as connectivitymode of choice.
50% of US/EMEA employee’s using BYOD by 2018 **
IT forced to add new services quickly
** Gartner Report, 2013
The Next Thing - The Internet of Things (IoT)
The fastest growing footprint of connected devices
No central framework for management
Low cost devices with little security
Limitless use cases
New attack vectors
Security perception in the enterprise today
We need BYOD!
New apps help drive productivity!
IoT is going to streamline efforts!
The Business
We need visibility and controlCan I manage access?
Are these devices secure?What new threats will this create?
