End User License AgreementEnd User License Agreement

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING OR USING CISCO OR CISCO-SUPPLIED SOFTWARE CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

CISCO IS WILLING TO LICENSE THE SOFTWARE TO YOU ONLY UPON THE CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. BY DOWNLOADING OR INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE, OR USING THE EQUIPMENT THAT CONTAINS THIS SOFTWARE, YOU ARE BINDING YOURSELF AND THE BUSINESS ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT (COLLECTIVELY, “CUSTOMER”) TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN CISCO IS UNWILLING TO LICENSE THE SOFTWARE TO YOU AND (A) DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE, AND (B) YOU MAY RETURN THE SOFTWARE FOR A FULL REFUND, OR, IF THE SOFTWARE IS SUPPLIED AS PART OF ANOTHER PRODUCT, YOU MAY RETURN THE ENTIRE PRODUCT FOR A FULL REFUND. YOUR RIGHT TO RETURN AND REFUND EXPIRES 30 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE FROM CISCO OR AN AUTHORIZED CISCO RESELLER, AND APPLIES ONLY IF YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL END USER PURCHASER.

The following terms of this End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) govern Customer’s access and use of the Software, except to the extent (a) there is a separate signed agreement between Customer and Cisco governing Customer’s use of the Software or (b) the Software includes a separate “click-accept” license agreement as part of the installation and/or download process. To the extent of a conflict between the provisions of the foregoing documents, the order of precedence shall be (1) the signed agreement, (2) the click-accept agreement, and (3) this End User License Agreement.

License. Conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Cisco Systems, Inc. or its subsidiary licensing the Software instead of Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”), grants to Customer a nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use for Customer’s internal business purposes the Software and the Documentation for which Customer has paid the required license fees. “Documentation” means written information (whether contained in user or technical manuals, training materials, specifications or otherwise) specifically pertaining to the Software and made available by Cisco with the Software in any manner (including on CD-ROM, or on-line).

Customer’s license to use the Software shall be limited to, and Customer shall not use the Software in excess of, a single hardware chassis or card or that number of agent(s), concurrent users, sessions, IP

4/1/05 Legal Information OL-7426-02

addresses, port(s), seat(s), server(s) or site(s), as set forth in the applicable Purchase Order which has been accepted by Cisco and for which Customer has paid to Cisco the required license fee.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Documentation, Customer shall use the Software solely as embedded in, for execution on, or (where the applicable documentation permits installation on non-Cisco equipment) for communication with Cisco equipment owned or leased by Customer and used for Customer’s internal business purposes. NOTE: For evaluation or beta copies for which Cisco does not charge a license fee, the above requirement to pay license fees does not apply.

General Limitations. This is a license, not a transfer of title, to the Software and Documentation, and Cisco retains ownership of all copies of the Software and Documentation. Customer acknowledges that the Software and Documentation contain trade secrets of Cisco, its suppliers or licensors, including but not limited to the specific internal design and structure of individual programs and associated interface information. Accordingly, except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to:

(i) transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other person or entity, or use the Software on unauthorized or secondhand Cisco equipment, and Customer acknowledges that any attempted transfer, assignment, sublicense or use shall be void;

(ii) make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software or create derivative works based upon the Software, or permit third parties to do the same;

(iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to human-readable form, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law notwithstanding this restriction;

(iv) use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a service bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of Cisco; or

(v) disclose, provide, or otherwise make available trade secrets contained within the Software and Documentation in any form to any third party without the prior written consent of Cisco. Customer shall implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets; or

(vi) use the Software to develop any software application intended for resale which employs the Software.

To the extent required by law, and at Customer's written request, Cisco shall provide Customer with the interface information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created program, on payment of Cisco's applicable fee, if any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information and shall use such information in compliance with any applicable terms and conditions upon which Cisco makes such information available. Customer is granted no implied licenses to any other intellectual property rights other than as specifically granted herein.

Software, Upgrades and Additional Copies. For purposes of this Agreement, “Software” shall include (and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to) computer programs, including firmware, as provided to Customer by Cisco or an authorized Cisco reseller, and any upgrades, updates, bug fixes or modified versions thereto (collectively, “Upgrades”) or backup copies of the Software licensed or provided to Customer by Cisco or an authorized Cisco reseller. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT: (1) CUSTOMER HAS NO LICENSE OR RIGHT TO USE ANY ADDITIONAL COPIES OR UPGRADES UNLESS CUSTOMER, AT THE TIME OF ACQUIRING SUCH COPY OR UPGRADE, ALREADY HOLDS A VALID LICENSE TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND HAS PAID THE APPLICABLE FEE FOR THE UPGRADE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES; (2) USE OF UPGRADES IS LIMITED TO CISCO EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH CUSTOMER IS THE ORIGINAL END USER PURCHASER OR LESSEE OR WHO OTHERWISE HOLDS A VALID LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE WHICH IS BEING UPGRADED; AND (3) THE MAKING AND USE OF ADDITIONAL COPIES IS LIMITED TO NECESSARY BACKUP PURPOSES ONLY.

Proprietary Notices. Customer agrees to maintain and reproduce all copyright and other proprietary notices on all copies, in any form, of the Software in the same form and manner that such copyright

4/1/05 Legal Information OL-7426-02

and other proprietary notices are included on the Software. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, Customer shall not make any copies or duplicates of any Software without the prior written permission of Cisco.

Open Source Content. Customer acknowledges that the Software contains open source or publicly available content under separate license and copyright requirements which are located either in an attachment to this license, the Software README file or the Documentation. Customer agrees to comply with such separate license and copyright requirements.

Third Party Beneficiaries. Certain Cisco or Cisco affiliate suppliers are intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement. The terms and conditions herein are made expressly for the benefit of and are enforceable by Cisco’s suppliers; provided, however, that suppliers are not in any contractual relationship with Customer. Cisco’s suppliers include without limitation: (a) Hifn, Inc., a Delaware corporation with principal offices at 750 University Avenue, Los Gatos, California and (b) Wind River Systems, Inc., and its suppliers. Additional suppliers may be provided in subsequent updates of Documentation supplied to Customer.

Term and Termination. This Agreement and the license granted herein shall remain effective until terminated. Customer may terminate this Agreement and the license at any time by destroying all copies of Software and any Documentation. Customer’s rights under this Agreement will terminate immediately without notice from Cisco if Customer fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement. Cisco and its suppliers are further entitled to obtain injunctive relief if Customer’s use of the Software is in violation of any license restrictions. Upon termination, Customer shall destroy all copies of Software and Documentation in its possession or control. All confidentiality obligations of Customer and all limitations of liability and disclaimers and restrictions of warranty shall survive termination of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of the sections titled “U.S. Government End User Purchasers” and “General Terms Applicable to the Limited Warranty Statement and End User License” shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Customer Records. Customer grants to Cisco and its independent accountants the right to examine Customer’s books, records and accounts during Customer’s normal business hours to verify compliance with this Agreement. In the event such audit discloses non-compliance with this Agreement, Customer shall promptly pay to Cisco the appropriate license fees, plus the reasonable cost of conducting the audit.

Export. Software and Documentation, including technical data, may be subject to U.S. export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Act and its associated regulations, and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. Customer agrees to comply strictly with all such regulations and acknowledges that it has the responsibility to obtain licenses to export, re-export, or import Software and Documentation. Customer’s failure to comply with such restrictions shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement.

U.S. Government End User Purchasers. The Software and Documentation qualify as “commercial items,” as that term is defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with FAR 12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.7202-1 through

227.7202-4, and notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the contrary in any agreement into which this End User License Agreement may be incorporated, Customer may provide to Government end user or, if this Agreement is direct, Government end user will acquire, the Software and Documentation with only those rights set forth in this End User License Agreement. Use of either the Software or Documentation or both constitutes agreement by the Government that the Software and Documentation are “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” and constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions herein.

Definitions of Service Request SeverityDefinitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

• Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business opera-

tions. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

• Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects

of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

• Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business

operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

• Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, instal-

lation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

Single-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller DeploymentsSingle-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Wireless LAN Controller Deployments

As described in About the Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network, a standalone Cisco Wireless LAN Controller can support Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points across multiple floors and buildings simultaneously, and supports the following features:

• Autodetecting and autoconfiguring Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points as they are

added to the network, as described in Radio Resource Management (RRM).

• Full control of Cisco 1000 Series IEEE 802.11a/b/g Lightweight Access Points.

• Real-time control of system-wide WLAN Web, 802.1X, and IPSec security policies.

• Full control of up to 16 Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point WLAN (SSID) policies, as

described in the Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controller Quick Start Guide

The following figures show a typical single Cisco Wireless LAN Controller deployed in Appliance Mode

• Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points connect to Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers through

the network. The network equipment may or may not provide Power Over Ethernet to the access points.

Note: Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers can connect through the Management Interface

to multiple subnets in the Network. This can be helpful, for instance, when Network operators want to confine multiple VLANs to separate subnets using Oper-

ator-Defined Interfaces.

Note that the Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controller uses two redundant GigE connections to bypass single network failures. At any given time one of the Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN

3/11/05 Single-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Wireless LAN Controller Deployments OL-7426-02

Controller GigE connections is active and the other is passive. Upon a network failure, the active connection becomes passive, and the passive connection becomes active.

Figure - Typical Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Deployment

Multiple-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller DeploymentsMultiple-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Deployments

Each Cisco Wireless LAN Controller can support Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points across multiple floors and buildings simultaneously. Similarly, each Cisco Wireless LAN Controller can support Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points across multiple floors and buildings simultaneously. However, full functionality of the Cisco SWAN is realized when it includes multiple Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers. That is, a multiple-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller system has the following additional features over a single-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller deployment:

• Autodetecting and autoconfiguring Cisco Wireless LAN Controller RF parameters as the Cisco

Wireless LAN Controllers are added to the network, as described in Radio Resource

Management (RRM).

• Same-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (Layer 2) Roaming and Inter-Subnet (Layer 3) Roaming.

• Automatic Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point failover to any redundant Cisco Wireless

LAN Controller with unused ports (refer to Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Failover Protection

The following figure shows a typical multiple-Cisco Wireless LAN Controller deployment, with the Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers in Appliance Mode. The figure also shows an optional dedicated Service Network, and the three physical connection types between the network and the Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers, as further described in Network Connection to Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers

Note: Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers can connect through the Management Interface

to multiple subnets in the Network. This can be helpful, for instance, when Network operators want to confine multiple VLANs to separate subnets using Oper-

ator-Defined Interfaces.
