A network engineer is deploying a wireless network in a large open office to facilitate connectivity for multiple departments. They need to consider the appropriate device to manage multiple access points efficiently while maintaining the quality of service. Which device is best suited for this purpose?
A Wireless Controller is specifically designed to aid network administrators in managing multiple access points within a network. It centralizes the administration of wireless access points, enabling easier configuration, management, and policy application across the network. This contrasts with access points, which individually manage network connections but lack centralized control and scalability provided by controllers. Network-attached storage focuses on data storage services and does not aid in wireless management. Routers do handle traffic directing and network management tasks but are not specialized for central management of multiple wireless access nodes like a wireless controller.
