The ADTRAN

Bluesocket

virtual Wireless LAN

(vWLAN) offers the industry’s first cloud-based,

virtualized control and management system for

wireless LANs, eliminating physical, hardware-

based controllers from the network. By removing

100 percent of the controller hardware, Bluesocket

vWLAN

eliminates scale limitations, and enables

centralized control and management of access

points (APs) across multiple buildings, the corporate

campus or across any geographic location.

Integrated Solution

The vWLAN’s management and control software is a

comprehensive, integrated system that allows you to:

• Configure and manage APs, SSIDs, licenses and

Wireless IDS, setup users and define access

controls, and manage guest access

• Administer AP configurations, firmware upgrades

and patches, conduct system diagnostics, and

backup and restore the system

• Generate Status Reports on APs, active users and

locations; setup alarms, logs and dashboards,

and create status maps using multiple filters

Manage from Anywhere on Any Device

The Bluesocket vWLAN’s unique architecture

involves separation of the management and control

plane from the data plane - these functions are

virtualized and placed in a VMware

environment

in the data center. This enables network adminis-

trators to configure, control and manage APs across

multiple locations anywhere in the world, via a

public or private cloud. This also ensures consistent

policy management, seamless roaming, and the

ability to troubleshoot APs without physically

traveling to each location. In addition, with HTML5

elements, and no flash components, network

admins can access the system from any mobile

device including iOS-, Windows- or Android-based

smartphones and tablets.

Custom Dashboards, Granular Reports

Bluesocket vWLAN provides multi-level reporting

based on user role. Clients can view detailed

reports on health of each device (AP), number

of active users and locations, and create custom

dashboards that provide at-a-glance view of the

health of the system.

Templates for Faster Configuration

Bluesocket vWLAN includes the concept of AP

templates that have prepopulated data to simplify

configuration of groups of APs. Each template has

its own unique configuration for settings, radios,

firmware, and SSIDs. Simply create a template, and

apply it to one or a group of APs in a domain or

location without having to individually configure

each AP. This simplifies large multi-site deployments

by providing the ability to group APs, and applying

configurations in bulk.

Multi-tenant Support

Bluesocket vWLAN is revolutionizing wireless LANs

by enabling enterprises and service providers to

take it to the next level with multi-tenant support

– support multiple client domains (tenants) on a

single instance of Bluesocket vWLAN. Now you can

configure, control, and manage both users and APs

for multiple tenants on a single Bluesocket vWLAN

virtual software instance. This allows Managed

Service Providers to offer a hosted WLAN service

to multiple clients, who each may have their own

security or access requirements.

Wired and Third-party AP Users Support

Bluesocket vWLAN offers the industry’s first

software-enabled support for both wired and

wireless users. This is a software upgrade option

that allows integrated management and control

of all users irrespective of method of access –

Bluesocket APs, wired ports or even from any

third-party AP. This simplifies administration,

and enables an enterprise to create a truly unified

wireless and wired network providing a seamless

user experience, and consistent authentication

irrespective of a user’s access method.

Business Continuity

A key feature of Bluesocket vWLAN is the ability to

provide High Availability (HA) by simply creating

an additional instance of the virtualized software

in the backup data center and upgrading the AP

license to HA mode. In the event of losing network

connectivity to the primary instance, the APs will

automatically switch over to the backup vWLAN

instance with “zero packet-loss”. Even if the primary

instance of the platform itself fails, client APs are

automatically pointed to the secondary instance

ensuring business continuity for the service provider.

Configurable Alerts and Notifications

Network administrators can configure several

types of notifications to be kept apprised of the

functionality and condition of the vWLAN domain.

The types of notifications can be configured based

on hierarchy and access rights of administrators

–the root administrator can create alerts about the

domain, such as high CPU or memory usage on

the vWLAN system; domain administrators can

set alerts that can include information messages,

SNMP traps, syslog notifications, email notifications,

and any outstanding administrative tasks specific

to a domain.

Supported Interfaces

Bluesocket vWLAN supports the following primary

northbound interfaces – syslog, SNMP Traps,

RADIUS and Email – to track and provide alerts

on the overall system or individual domain.
