Description

Cisco 3504 IEEE 802.11ac Wireless LAN Controller – 5 GHz
2.40 GHz – 5 x Network (RJ-45) – Wall Mountable
Desktop DEPOT

Optimized for 802.11ac Wave 2 performance
the intent-driven Cisco DNA^™ ready Cisco^® 3504 Wireless Controller with Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology is a compact
highly scalable
service-rich
resilient
and flexible platform that enables next-generation wireless networks for small to medium-sized enterprises and branch office deployments.

Product Overview

The Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller provides centralized control
management
and troubleshooting for small to medium-sized enterprises and branch offices. It offers flexibility to support multiple deployment modes in the same controller-a centralized mode for campus environments
Cisco FlexConnect^® mode for lean branches managed over the WAN
and a mesh (bridge) mode for deployments in which full Ethernet cabling is unavailable. As a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network
the 3504 controller provides real-time communications between Cisco Aironet^® access points
Cisco Prime^® Infrastructure
and the Cisco Mobility Services Engine
and is interoperable with the Cisco 5520 and 8540 Wireless Controllers.

The Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) is an open and extensible
software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations. The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from time-consuming
repetitive network configuration tasks so they can focus instead on innovation that positively transforms your business. SD-Access
as part of Cisco DNA
enables policy-based automation from edge to cloud with foundational capabilities. Cisco DNA Assurance
also part of Cisco DNA
provides a single source to monitor
modify
and manage your network and application data.

Features and Benefits

The Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller with Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology is optimized for 802.11ac Wave 2 performance
high scale
and enhanced system uptime. It offers:

• Intent-driven programmability and streaming telemetry.
• Quiet operation
  with a small form factor and compact design ideal for space-constrained deployments
  providing flexibility without compromising on features.
• Cisco Multigigabit Ethernet technology to support next-generation 802.11ac Wave 2 deployments using existing cabling infrastructure.
• Subsecond access point and client failover for uninterrupted application availability.
• Extraordinary visibility into application traffic
  using Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC)
  the technology that includes the Network-Based Application Recognition 2 (NBAR2) engine
  with Cisco’s Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) capability. This allows the 3504 to mark
  prioritize
  and block to conserve network bandwidth and enhance security. Customers can optionally export the flows to Cisco Prime Infrastructure or a third-party NetFlow collector.
• An embedded wireless Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) policy classification engine that allows classification of client devices and application of user group policies.
• Guest access and Bonjour and Chromecast services in centralized deployments.
• Software-defined segmentation with Cisco TrustSec^® technology
  reducing Access Control List (ACL) maintenance
  complexity
  and overhead.
• Integrated Cisco CleanAir^® technology
  providing the industry’s only self-healing and self-optimizing wireless network.
• A simplified GUI wizard for quick setup and intuitive dashboards for monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Cisco DNA and SD-Access Wireless
  as well as Cisco DNA Assurance.
