Bruce, et. al.,
 
We're running the Cisco Airespace solution at Loyola Marymount University and after evaluating management solutions, we selected AirWave's Management Platform to manage our WiSMs and LWAPP access points. 
 
The AirWave software does a much better job of tracking and logging information then the Cisco WCS management system.  You can see all users that are currently connected or look at users that were connected in the past.  Additionally, it shows their login ID, MAC address, the AP that they associated with, the date and time they connected, how long they were connected and the IP address they were provided.
 
The other thing I like about the AirWave system is that it manages both the Cisco LWAPP and the IOS based APs.  Right now we're a mixed environment and it is nice to have a single management solution for all of it (it even manages other vendor's APs).
 
Regards,
Gary

Is there anyone out there that is running a Cisco Airespace solution who knows how to look at the logs that tell you client associations and disassociations from the wireless network similar to the Aironet solution.  I have been able to find a couple of different logs but none that tell me clientA associated with the network at <time> or clientB disassociated from network at <time> with or without reason.  Thanks.

  The closest thing I can find is on the Cisco Wireless Control System we use to manage several controllers, go to Monitor, select Devices/clients.  Choose search by MAC address (or any other method you wish).  You may want to specify all states including disassociated.  When the client is listed on the web page click on the link under the "User" column, even if says "<none>".   Then in the upper right where it says select a command choose "AP Association history".  It displays a graphical representation of which APs the client was associated with over the last week or so.  So the information is in there somewhere.
