Additional Settings
Additional RAPIDS settings such as role filtering and performance tuning are available in the following locations:
Use the AMP Setup > Roles > Add/Edit Role Page to define the ability to use RAPIDS by user role. Refer to
“Creating AMP User Roles” on page45.
Use the AMP Setup > General > Performance Tuning page to define the processing priority of RAPIDS in
relation to AMP as a whole (see Table 17 on page 41).
Defining RAPIDS Rules
The RAPIDS > Rules page is one of the core components of RAPIDS. This feature allows you to define rules by
which any detected device on the network is classified.
This section describes how to define, use, and monitor RAPIDS rules, provides examples of such rules, and
demonstrates how they are helpful.
This section contains the following topics:
“Controller Classification with WMS Offload” on page168
“Device OUI Score” on page169
“Rogue Device Threat Level” on page169
“Viewing and Configuring RAPIDS Rules” on page170
“Recommended RAPIDS Rules” on page172
“Using RAPIDS Rules with Additional AMP Functions” on page172
Controller Classification with WMS Offload
This classification method is supported only when WMS offload is enabled on Dell PowerConnect W-Series
WLAN switches. Controller classification of this type remains distinct from RAPIDS classification. WLAN
switches feed wireless device information to AMP, which AMP then processes. AMP then pushes the WMS
classification to all of the ArubaOS controllers that are WMS offload enabled.
WMS Offload ensures that a particular BSSID has the same classification on all of the controllers. WMS Offload
removes some load from master controllers and feeds 'connected-to-lan' information to the RAPIDS classification
engine. RAPIDS classifications and controller classifications are separate and often are not synchronized.
NOTE: RAPIDS classification is not pushed to the devices.
