Configuring aDell Networking W
Group in AirWave
It is prudent to establish one or more Dell Networking W Groups within AirWave. During the discovery process you
will move new discovered controllers into this group.
This section contains the following topics:
l "Basic Monitoring Configuration" on page 11
l "Advanced Configuration " on page 12
Basic Monitoring Configuration
1. Navigate to Groups > List.
2. Select Add.
3. Enter a Name that represents the Dell Networking W-Series device infrastructure from a security, geographical, or
departmental perspective and select Add.
4. You will be redirected to the Groups > Basic page for the Group you just created. On this page you will need to
verify and/or change the following Dell-specific settings.
a. Find the SNMP Polling Periods section of the page, as illustrated in Figure 6.
b. Verify that the Override Polling Period for Other Services option is set to Yes.
c. Verify that Client Data Polling Period is set to 10 minutes. Do not configure this interval lower than 5 minutes.
Enabling the SNMP Rate Limiting for Monitored Devices option in the previous chapter adds a small delay between each
SNMP Get request, thus the actual polling interval is 12 minutes for 10 minute polling interval.
d. Verify that the Device-to-Device Link Polling Period option is set to 30 minutes.
e. Verify that the Rogue AP and Device Location Data Polling Period option is set to 30 minutes.

6. Configure the proper SNMP Version for monitoring the Dell Networking W-Series infrastructure.
