Chapter 1
Controller Configuration in AirWave
ArubaOS (AOS) is the operating system, software suite, and application engine that operates Dell Networking W-Series
mobility controllers and centralizes control over the entire mobile environment. The AOS wizards, command-line
interface (CLI), and WebUI are the primary means used to configure and deploy Dell controllers. For a complete
description of AOS, refer to the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS User Guide for your release.
When configuring the controller, we recommend that you have access to the
Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS User
Guide
and the
Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS CLI Guide
to use as a reference.
The Dell Networking W Configuration feature in AirWave consolidates AOS configuration and pushes global Dell
Networking W configurations from one utility. This chapter introduces the components and initial setup of Dell
Networking W Configuration with the following topics:
l "Requirements, Restrictions, and AOS Support in AirWave" on page 7
l "Additional Concepts and Components" on page 17
l "Setting Up Initial Dell Networking W Configuration" on page 20
AirWave supports Dell Networking W AP Groups, which should not be confused with standard Dell Networking W Device
Groups. This document provides information about the configuration and use of Dell Networking W AP Groups and
describes how Dell Networking W AP Groups inter-operate with standard Dell Networking W Device Groups.
Dell Networking W may be represented as Dell PowerConnect W in the AirWave WebUI.
Requirements, Restrictions, and AOS Support in AirWave
Requirements
Dell Networking W Configuration has the following requirements in AirWave:
l AirWave 6.3 or a later version must be installed and operational on the network.
l Dell Networking W-Seriesīcontrollers on the network must have AOS installed and operational.
l For access to all monitoring features, you must provide Telnet/SSH credentials for a user with minimum access level
of read only. In order to perform configuration, the credentials must be for a root level user. In either case, the enable
password must be provided.
Restrictions
Dell Networking W configuration has the following restrictions in AirWave:
l At present, Dell Networking W Configuration in AirWave does not support every AOS network component. For
example, AirWave supports only AirGroup, IP Mobility and VLANs in the Advanced Services section.
l AOS Configuration is not supported in either Global Groups or the Master Console. Appropriate options will be
available in the Subscriber Groups containing the controllers.
AOS Support in AirWave
AirWave provides the following options for configuring your devices:
8 | Controller Configuration in AirWave Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 | Controller Configuration Guide
l Template-based configuration for devices with firmware versions before AOS 3.3.2.10
l Global GUI configuration for organizations that have near-identical deployments on all of their controllers
l Group-level GUI configuration for organizations that have two or more configuration strategies
Configuration changes are pushed to the controller via SSH with no reboot required.
AirWave only supports configuration of the settings that a master controller would push to the standby / local
controllers (global features). AirWave supports all master, master-standby, and master-local deployments. AirWave
supports all settings for Profiles, Dell Networking W AP Groups, Servers and Roles, and the WLAN Wizard. Controller
IP addresses, VLANs, and interfaces are also supported, as are AirGroup, VPN and IP Mobility Advanced services.
Other features of Dell Networking W Configuration in AirWave include:
l AirWave understands AOS license dependencies.
l AirWave supports a variety of Dell Networking W-Series firmware versions. Profiles and fields that are not supported
by an older version will not be configured on the controller running that version.
l You can provision thin APs from the AP/Devices > Manage page. You can move APs into Dell Networking W AP
Groups from the Modify Devices option on the APs/Devices > List page.
l You can configure AP names in the Settings section of the AP/Devices > Manage page.
l Values for specific fields can be overwritten for individual controllers via overrides on the controller's APs/Devices >
Manage page.
For more detailed information about this feature, as well as steps to transition from template-based configuration to web-
based configuration, refer to additional chapters in this user guide. For known issues and details about the AOS version
supported by each release, see the Dell Networking W-AirWave Release Notes.
Overview of Dell Networking W Configuration in AirWave
This section describes the pages in AirWave that support Dell Networking W Configuration.
AirWave can be set up on AMP Setup > General > Device Configuration to configure Dell Networking W-Series
devices globally (using the Device Setup > Dell Networking W Configuration page) or by Device Group (in the
Groups > Controller Config page). By default, global Dell Networking W Configuration is enabled, as shown in the
following image.
Figure 1:īAMP Setup > General Setting for Global or Group Configuration
AirWave supports Dell Networking W Configuration with the following pages:
l "Device Setup > Dell Networking W Configuration Page" on page 9āDeploys and maintains globalīDell
Networking W Configuration in AirWave. You can limit the view to a folder.
l "Groups > Controller Config Page with Global Configuration Enabled" on page 10āthe way this page displays
depends on whether global or group configuration is enabled in AMP Setup > General > Device Configuration:
n If global configuration is enabled, the Groups > Controller Config page manages Dell Networking W AP group
and other controller-wide settings defined on the Device Setup > Dell Networking W Configuration page.
n If global configuration is disabled, the Groups > Controller Config page resembles the Device Setup > Dell
Networking W Configuration tree navigation (the same sections listed in the previous bullet are available), but
the Groups > Controller Config pages do not display the Folder as a column in the list tables or as a field in the
individual profiles.
l "Groups > Controller Config when Global Configuration is Disabled" on page 10ā this page modifies or reboots all
devices when Global Dell Networking W Configuration is disabled.
l "APs/Devices > Manage Page" on page 15āsupports device-level settings and changes in AirWave.
l "APs/Devices > Monitor Page" on page 16āsupports device-level monitoring in AirWave.
l "APs/Devices > Audit Page" on page 17āsupports device level configuration importing in AirWave.
l "Groups > Basic Page" on page 17āFor device groups containing Dell Networking W devices, basic information
such as the groupās name, regulatory domain, the use of Global Groups, SNMP Polling periods, and turning on the
Dell Networking W GUI Config are managed here.
Device Setup > Dell Networking W Configuration Page
This page is not available if Use Global Dell Networking W Configuration is disabled in AMP Setup > General.
The Device Setup > Dell Networking W Configuration page displays the expandable navigation pane shown in Figure

l "AP Overrides Section" on page 12
l "WLANs Section" on page 12
l "Profiles Section" on page 13
l "Security Section" on page 14
l "Local Config Section" on page 14
l "Advanced Services Section" on page 15
Only Dell Networking W AP Groups, AP Overrides, and WLANs contain custom-created items in the navigation pane.
For the remainder of this document, the navigation Controller Config > refers to the tree view in Device Setup or
Groups tabs, depending on whether global or group configuration is enabled.
Dell Networking W AP Groups Section
AīDell Networking W AP Group is a collection of configuration profiles that define specific settings on Dell
Networking W-Seriesīcontrollers and the devices that they govern. AīDell Networking W AP Group references multiple
configuration profiles, and in turn links to multiple WLANs. Navigate to the Controller Config > Dell Networking W
AP Groups page (see Figure 4).
Figure 4:īController Config > Dell Networking W AP Groups Navigation
Dell Networking W AP Groups are not to be confused with conventional AirWaveīdevice groups.īAirWave supports both
group types, and both are viewable on the Groups > List page when so configured.
Dell Networking W AP Groups share the following characteristics:
l Any Dell Networking W-Seriesīcontrollers can support multiple Dell Networking W AP Groups.
Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 | Controller Configuration Guide Controller Configuration in AirWave | 11
12 | Controller Configuration in AirWave Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 | Controller Configuration Guide
l Dell Networking W AP Groups are assigned to folders, and folders define visibility. Using conventional AirWave
folders to define visibility, Dell Networking W AP Groups can provide visibility to some or many components while
blocking visibility to other users for more sensitive components, such as SSIDs. Navigate to the Users pages to
define folder visibility, and refer to "Visibility in Dell Networking W Configuration" on page 32.
l You can import a controller configuration file from AOS for Dell Networking W AP Group deployment in AirWave.
For additional information, see:
l "Setting Up Initial Dell Networking W Configuration" on page 20
l "Dell Networking W AP Groups Procedures and Guidelines" on page 27
AP Overrides Section
The second major component of Dell Networking W Configuration is the AP Overrides page, appearing immediately
below Dell Networking W AP Groups in the Navigation Pane.
AP Overrides operate as follows in Dell Networking W Configuration:
l Custom-created AP Overrides appear in the Dell Networking W Configuration navigation pane, as illustrated in .
l Dell Networking W-Seriesīcontrollers and AP devices operate in Dell Networking W AP Groups that define shared
parameters for all devices in those groups. The Dell Networking W Configuration > Dell Networking W AP
Groups page displays all current Dell Networking W AP groups.
l AP Override allows you to change some parameters for any specific device without having to create aīDell
Networking W AP group per AP.
l The name of any AP Override should be the same as the name of the device to which it applies. This establishes the
basis of all linking to that device.
l Once you have created an AP Override for a device in a group, you specify the WLANs to be included and
excluded.
l For additional information about how to configure and use AP Overrides, refer to "AP Overrides" on page 41.
Figure 5:īAP Overrides
WLANs Section
Access WLANs with Dell Networking W Configuration > WLANs, (see Figure 6). The following concepts govern the
use of WLANs in Dell Networking W configuration:
l WLANs are the same as virtual AP configuration profiles.
l WLAN profiles contain settings including SSIDs, referenced Dell Networking W AP Groups, Traffic Management
profiles, and device folders.
WLAN configurations are described in:
l "Setting Up Initial Dell Networking W Configuration" on page 20
l "General WLAN Guidelines" on page 28
l "WLANs" on page 46
Figure 6:īDell Networking W Configuration > WLANs Navigation
Profiles Section
Use Profiles to organize and deploy groups of configurations for Dell Networking W AP Groups, WLANs, and other
profiles. Profiles are assigned to folders, which establishes visibility to Dell Networking W AP Groups and WLAN
settings. Access Profiles with Dell Networking W Configuration > Profiles (see Figure 7). Profiles are organized by
type. Custom-named profiles do not appear in the navigation pane as do custom-named Dell Networking W AP Groups,
WLANs, and AP Overrides. Profile procedures and guidelines are described in:
l "Setting Up Initial Dell Networking W Configuration" on page 20
l "General Profiles Guidelines" on page 28
l "Profiles" on page 47

Security Section
Use the Security section to adds edits or delete security profiles in multiple categories, including user roles, policies,
rules, and servers such as RADIUS, TACACS+, and LDAP servers. Navigate to Security with the Dell Networking W
Configuration > Security path, (see Figure 8). The following general guidelines apply to Security profiles in Dell
Networking W configuration:
l Roles can have multiple policies, and each policy can have numerous roles.
l Server groups are comprised of servers and rules. Security rules apply in Dell Networking W Configuration in the
same way as the rules deployed in AOS. For additional information about Security, refer to "Security" on page 48 in
the Appendix.
Figure 8:īDell Networking W Configuration > Security Navigation
Local Config Section
Use the Local Config section for local configuration of Dell Networking W-Seriesīcontrollers (see Figure 4). Locally
configured settings are not pushed to local controllers by master controllers. SNMP trap settings for controllers are also
managed locally. For additional information, refer to "Local Config " on page 55.
Figure 9:īDell Networking W Configuration > Local Config Navigation
Advanced Services Section
Navigate to Advanced Services with the Dell Networking W Configuration > Advanced Services path. The Advanced
Services section includes AirGroup, IP Mobility and VPN Services (see Figure 10For additional information about
AirGroup, IP Mobility and VPN Services, refer to"Advanced Services" on page 59.
Figure 10:īDell Networking W Configuration > Advanced Services Navigation
APs/Devices > List Page
This page supports all AirWave devices. This page supports controller reboot, re-provisioning, changing Dell
Networking WīAP groups, and updating thin APīsettings (see Figure 11). Select Modify Devices below the graphs to
perform these tasks and more. The Modify Devices field also includes an option to configure a custom view using search
filters.
Figure 11:īAPs/Devices List Page (Partial Display)
APs/Devices > Manage Page
This page configures device-level settings, including Manage mode, that enable pushing configurations to controllers.
For additional information, refer to "Pushing Device Configurations to Controllers" on page 29.
Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 | Controller Configuration Guide Controller Configuration in AirWave | 15
16 | Controller Configuration in AirWave Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 | Controller Configuration Guide
You can create controller overrides for entire profiles or a specific profile setting per profile. This allows you to avoid
creating new profiles or Dell Networking W AP Groups that differ by one or more settings. Controller overrides can be
added from the controller's APs/Devices > Manage page (see Figure 12).
Figure 12:īAPs/Devices > Manage Page (Partial Display)
APs/Devices > Monitor Page
Used in conjunction with the Manage page, the Monitor page enables review of device-level settings. The contents of
this page varies, depending on the device type being monitored, and can provide a large volume of information,
including:
l Status nfo
l Controllerās License link
l Radio Statistics about some Dell Networking W thin APs
l Clients and Usage and interactive graphs showing the numbers of clients connected to the network, and upstream
and downstream bandwith usage over the selected period.
l CPU Utilization and Memory Utilization interactive graphs.
l APs Managed by this controller list (when viewing a controller)
l Alert Summary
l An option to poll the controller
l Recent AirWave Device Events
l Links to the System Event and Audit Logs
l Information about wired interfaces
l Information about RF Neighbors
For additional information, refer to "Pushing Device Configurations to Controllers" on page 29.
APs/Devices > Audit Page
Use the APs/Devices > Audit page to view the configuration status of a device. You can also perform the following
tasks:
l Audit a deviceās current configuration
l Update group settings based on the deviceās current configuration using the Import button
l Customize settings to include/ignore during configuration audits
l View configuration mismatches
l View archived device configurations
l Create and restore flash backups.
Groups > Basic Page
The Groups > Basic page deploys the following aspects of Dell Networking W Configuration:
l Use this page to control which device settings appear on the Groups pages.
l If you want to configure your controllers using templates instead, disable Dell Networking W GUI configuration
from the Groups > Basic page and use template-based configuration. See the Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 User
Guide for more information about templates.
Additional Concepts and Components
Dell Networking W Configuration emphasizes the following components and network management concepts.
l "Global Configuration and Scope" on page 17
l "Referenced Profile Setup" on page 17
l "Save, Save and Apply, and Revert Buttons" on page 19
l "Additional Concepts and Benefits" on page 20
Global Configuration and Scope
AirWave supports global configuration from both a master-local controller deployment and an all-master-controller
deployment:
n In a master-local controller deployment, AOS is the agent that pushes global configurations from master controller
to local controllers. AirWave supports this AOS functionality.
n In an all-master-controller scenario, every master controller operates independently of other master controllers.
AirWave provides the ability to push configurations to all master controllers in this scenario.
l Dell Networking W Configuration supports AOS profiles, Dell Networking W AP Profiles, Servers, and User Roles.
For additional information about these and additional functions, see "General Controller Procedures and Guidelines" on
page 29.
Referenced Profile Setup
AirWave allows you to add or reconfigure many configuration profiles while guiding you through a larger configuration
sequence for a Dell Networking W AP Group or WLAN. For example, after you create an Dell Networking W AP
Group from the Device Setup > Dell Networking W Configuration page, the Referenced Profile section appears (see
Figure 13).
Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 | Controller Configuration Guide Controller Configuration in AirWave | 17
18 | Controller Configuration in AirWave Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 | Controller Configuration Guide
Click the Add icon (the plus symbol) on the right to add a referenced profile to a new AP Group. After you click Save
or Save and Apply, AirWave automatically returns you to the original Dell Networking W AP Group configuration
page.
This configuration is also supported on the Additional Dell Networking W Profiles section of the Groups > Controller
Config page.
Figure 13:īReferenced Profile Configuration for a Dell Networking W AP Group
Save, Save and Apply, and Revert Buttons
Several Add or Detail pages in Dell Networking W Configuration include the Save, Save and Apply, and Revert
buttons. These buttons function as follows:
l Save āThis button saves a configuration but does not apply it, allowing you to return to complete or apply the
configuration at a later time. If you use this button, you might see an alert on other Dell Networking W
Configuration pages warning that you have unapplied Dell Networking W-Series Configuration Changes, and that
Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 | Controller Configuration Guide Controller Configuration in AirWave | 19
20 | Controller Configuration in AirWave Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 | Controller Configuration Guide
you must click Save and Apply to make the changes take effect. You can apply the configuration after all changes
are complete.
l Save and Apply āThis button saves and applies the configuration with reference to Manage and Monitor modes. For
example, you must click Save and Apply for a configuration profile to propagate to all controllers in Manage mode.
If you have controllers in Monitor Only mode, AirWave audits them, comparing their current configuration with the
new desired configuration. For additional information and instructions about using Manage and Monitor Only
modes, refer to "Pushing Device Configurations to Controllers" on page 29.
l RevertāThis button cancels out of a new configuration or reverts back to the last saved configuration.
Additional Concepts and Benefits
Scheduling Configuration Changes
You can schedule deployment of Dell Networking W Configuration to minimize impact on network performance.
For example, configuration changes can be accumulated over time by using Save and Apply for devices in Monitor
Only mode, then pushing all configuration changes at one time by putting devices in Manage mode. Refer to "Pushing
Device Configurations to Controllers" on page 29.
Ifyour controllers are already in Manage mode, you can also schedule the application of a single set of changes when
clicking Save and Apply; just enter the date/time under Scheduling Options and click Schedule.
AirWave pushes configuration settings that are defined in the GUI to the Dell Networking W-Seriesīcontrollers as a set
of CLI commands using Secure Shell (SSH). No controller reboot is required.
Auditing and Reviewing Configurations
AirWave supports auditing or reviewing in these ways:
1. You can review the AOS running configuration file. This is configuration information that AirWave reads from the
device. In template-based configuration, you can review the running configuration file when working on a related
template.
2. You can use the APs/Devices > Audit page for device-specific auditing.
3. Once you audit your controller, you can click Import from the APs/Devices > Audit page to import the controller's
current settings into its AirWave Group's desired settings.
Licensing and Dependencies in Dell Networking W Configuration
You can review your current licensing status with the Licenses link on the APs/Devices > Monitor page.
AirWave requires that you have a policy enforcement firewall license always installed on all Dell Networking W-
Seriesīcontrollers. If you push a policy to a controller without this license, a Good configuration will not result, and the
controller will show as Mismatched on AirWave pages that reflect device configuration status.
Dell Networking W Configuration includes several settings or functions that are dependent on special licenses. The user
interface conveys that a special license is required for any such setting, function, or profile. AirWave does not push such
configurations when a license related to those configurations is unavailable. For details on the licenses required by a
specific version of AOS, refer to the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS User Guide for that release.
Setting Up Initial Dell Networking W Configuration
This section describes how to deploy an initial setup of Dell Networking W Configuration.
Dell Networking W Configuration is enabled by default in AirWave.
