Re: LMS Vs NCS

Ok, one more clarification... The best description that I've seen for NCS
(after a couple min of research) is that it manages the access layer -
wireless, access switches, and endpoints. LMS would provide more
comprehensive management of your wired devices throughout the network -
routers and switches, and other wired devices to some extent.
