6. Select Save and Apply.
7. Select Save.
This will push a set of commands via SSH to all Dell Networking W-Series local controllers. AirWave must have
read/write access to the controllers in order to push these commands.
This process will not reboot your controllers.
Ifyou don't follow the above steps, local controllers will not be configured to populate statistics. This decreases AirWave's
capability to trend client signal information and to properly locate devices. See "ArubaOS CLI" on page 37 for information
on how to utilize the ArubaOS CLI to enable stats on Dell Networking W-Series infrastructure.
If your credentials are invalid or the changes are not applied to the controller, error messages will display on the
controller's APs/Devices > Monitor page under the Recent Events section. If the change fails, AirWave does not audit
these setting (display mismatches) and you will need to apply to the controller by hand. See "ArubaOS CLI" on page 37
for detailed instructions.
These are the commands pushed by AirWave while enabling WMS Offload. Do not enter these commands:
configure terminal
no mobility-manager <Active WMS IP Address>
wms
general collect-stats enable
stats-update-interval 120
show wms general
write mem

Configuration in Monitor-Only Mode.
2. Select Save and Apply. This will push a set of commands via SSH to all Dell Networking W-Series master
controllers. If the controller does not have an SNMPv3 user that matches the AirWave database it will automatically
create a new SNMPv3 user. AirWave must have read/write access to the controllers in order to push these commands
3. Navigate to Groups > Basic and locate the Dell Networking W section.
4. Set the Offload WMS Database field to Yes.
