Summary

Cisco WCS is an application and has different hardware requirements, depending on the number of APs it is to control.

The installation process requires creating root credentials, folders for FTP and TFTP files, and installing the main program and its dependencies.

A log file is available in the installation directory to verify the installation process, if required.

Once Cisco WCS is installed, you need to connect to it and install a license, which is a file to upload to Cisco WCS.
