This command creates an SNMPv3 user on the switch with the authentication protocol configured to SHA and
privacy protocol DES. The user and password must be at least eight characters because the Net-SNMP package in
OV3600 adheres to this IETF recommendation. AOS-W automatically creates Auth and Privacy passwords from
this single password. If mobility-manager is already using a preconfigured SNMPv3 user, ensure the privacy and
authentication passwords are the same.
Example:
mobility-manager 10.2.32.1 user ov3600123 ov3600123
Pushing Configs from Master to Local switches
Use the following AOS-W CLI commands to ensure that the master switch is properly pushing configuration
settings from the master switch to local switches. This command ensures configuration changes made on the
master switch will propagate to all local switches.
Do not use these commands if you use the OV3600 WebUI to monitor APs and clients.
(switch-Name) (config) # cfgm mms config disable
(switch-Name) (config) # write mem
Disable Debugging Utilizing the AOS-W CLI
If you are experiencing performance issues on the master switch, ensure that debugging is disabled. It should be
disabled by default. Debugging coupled with gathering the enhanced statistics can put a strain on the switch's
CPU, so it is highly recommended to disable debugging.
To disable debugging, SSH into the switch, enter enable mode, and issue the following commands:
(switch-Name) # show running-config | include logging level debugging
If there is output, then use the following commands to remove the debugging:
(switch-Name) # configure terminal
Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
(switch-Name) (config) # no logging level debugging <module from above>
(switch-Name) (config) # write mem
Restart WMS on Local switches
To ensure local switches are populating rogue information properly, use SSH to access the command-line
interface of each local switch, enter enable mode, and issue the following commands:
(switch-Name) # configure terminal
Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
(switch-Name) (config) # process restart wms
After executing the restart wms command in Alcatel-Lucent AOS-W, you will need to wait until the next Rogue
Poll Period on OV3600 and execute a Poll Now operation for each local switch on the APs/Devices > List
page before rogue devices begin to appear in OV3600.
Configure AOS-W CLI when not Offloading WMS
To ensure proper event correlation for IDS events when WMS is not offloaded to OV3600, access the command
line interface of each switch (master and local), enter enable mode, and issue the following commands:
