It is important to consider this when migrating an older controller to the W-7200 Series. If you load a
configuration from a non-W-7200 controller, that controller will not have network connectivity because any
interface configuration will not be recognized. For information about migrating to a W-7200 Series controller,
see the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.2 Release Notes.
Individual Port Behavior
The first two ports on the W-7200 Series controller, 0/0/0 and 0/0/1 are combination ports and can be used for
management, HA, and I/O. Ports 0/0/2 through 0/0/5 can only be used for I/O.
Using the LCD Screen
Some controllers are equipped with an LCD panel that displays a variety of information about the controller’s
status and provides a menu that allows for basic operations such as initial setup and reboot. The LCD panel
displays two lines of text with a maximum of 16 characters on each line. When using the LCD panel, the active
line is indicated by an arrow next to the first letter.
The LCD panel is operated using the two navigation buttons to the left of the screen.
l Menu: Allows you to navigate through the menus of the LCD panel.
l Enter: Confirms and executes the action currently displayed on the LCD panel.
The LCD has four modes:
l Boot: Displays the boot up status.
l LED Mode: Displays the mode that the STATUS LED is in.
l Status: Displays the status of different components of the controller, including Power Supplies and
ArubaOS version.
l Maintenance: Allows you to execute some basic operations of the controller such as uploading an image or
rebooting the system.
