Configuring WMS via the CLI
Use the following commands to configure WMS via the CLI. The parameters in this command are described in
detail in Table 111.
wms general
adhoc-ap-ageout-interval <minutes>
| ap-ageout-interval <minutes> | collect-stats
{disable|enable} | learn-ap {enable|disable} | learn-system-wired-macs |
persistent-neighbor {enable|disable} | poll-interval <milliseconds> |
poll-retries <number> | propagate-wired-macs {enable|disable} | sta-ageout-interval
<minutes> | stat-update {enable|disable}
Configuring Local WMS Settings
You can also use the CLI to define local WMS system settings for the maximum number of APs and client
stations.
(host) (config) #wms-local system max-threshold <max-threshold>
Managing the WMS Database
The WMS process interacts with all the air monitor (AM) processes in the network. When WMS receives an
event message from an AM, the WMS process will save the event information along with the BSSID of the AP
that generated the event in the WMS database. Use the following commands in Enable mode to manage the
WMS database.
The wms export-db command exports the specified file as an ASCII text file into the WMS database.
(host) #wms export-db database <file>
The wms import-db command imports the specified file into the WMS database:
Station Ageout Interval The amount of time, in minutes, that a client is unseen by any probes before it
is deleted from the database. Enter 0 to disable ageout.
Default: 30 minutes
Enable Statistics Update in DB Enables or disables statistics update in the database.
Default: enabled
Collect Stat Enables collection of statistics (up to 25,000 entries) on the master controller
for monitored APs and clients. This only applies when Mobility Manager??? is
not configured.
Default: disabled
Learn System Wired Mac Enable or disable “learning” of wired MACs at the controller.
Default: disabled
Propogate Wired Mac Enables the propagation of the gateway wired MAC information.
Default: enabled
Mark Neighbor APs as Persistent Neighbor APs Enables or disables APs that are marked as neighbor from being aged out.
Default: enabled
Learn APs Enables or disables AP learning. Learning affects the way APs are classified.
Default: disabled

Parameter Description
NOTE: Use this command with caution. Increasing the limit will cause an increase in usage in the memory by WMS. In general,
each entry will consume about 500 bytes of memory. If the setting is bumped up by 2000, then it will cause an increase in WMS
memory usage by 1MB
