Usage Guidelines
By default, non-Dell APs that are connected on the same wired networks as Dell APs are classified as “rogue”
APs. Enabling AP learning classifies non-Dell APs as “valid” APs. Typically, you would want to enable AP learning
in environments with large numbers of existing non-Dell APs and leave AP learning enabled until all APs in the
network have been detected and classified as valid. Then, disable AP learning and reclassify any unknown APs
as interfering.
VLAN Trunking
In deployments where Dell APs are not placed on every VLAN and where it is not possible to trunk all VLANs to
a Dell AP, enable the parameter learned-system-wired-mac. When this is enabled, ArubaOS is able to classify
rogues on all the VLANs that belong to the Dell controller, as long as Dell APs can see the rogues in the air. If
there are VLANs in the network residing on a third party controller and if those VLANs are trunked to a port on
the Dell controller, enabling this feature will allow detection of rogues on those VLANs as well.
Master/Local
When learned-system-wired-mac is enabled in a master/local deployment, the learning of Wired and
Gateway MACs will happen at each local controller. For topologies with local controllers in geographical
locations, the local controller collects the Wired and Gateway MAC info and passes it to the APs that are
connected to it. Even though the locals do the collection of Wired and Gateway MACs, the master is still be
responsible for classification.
Example
The following command enables AP learning:
(host)(IDS WMS General Profile) #learn-ap
To disable AP learning:
(host)(IDS WMS General Profile) #no learn-ap
