So we got both. But I have finished configuring WLC without even install the WCS. All things are working fine to me, although I would have to say the WLC on-line/PDF help documents need revolutionary improvement to be useful.</P><P></P><P>We did install WCS last week. Haven't had a chance to look deep into it yet, but just from the surface it is more for "monitoring" instead of the real configuration. So, I would say WCS is nice to have for big deployment.</P><P></P><P></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 20 Jan 2006 18:32:09 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/do-i-need-to-have-wcs-with-wlc/m-p/463952#M10467 sactoraymond 2006-01-20T18:32:09Z
