Understanding WMS Offload Impact on Dell PowerConnect W-Series
Infrastructure
When offloading WMS, it is important to understand what functionality is migrated to AirWave and what
functionality is deprecated.
The following ArubaOS tabs and sections are deprecated after offloading WMS:
 Plan - The tab where floor plans are stored and heatmaps are generated. Prior to offloading WMS, ensure that
you have exported floor plans from ArubaOS and imported them into AirWave. All functionality within the
Plan Tab is incorporated with the VisualRF module in AirWave.
 Dashboard>Security Summary - The Security Summary section (Figure 12) disappears after offloading
WMS. The data is still being processed by the master controller, but the summary information is not
available. You must use AirWave to view data for APs, clients and events in detail and summary from.
 AirWave displays information on Rogue APs in the RAPIDS > Overview pages.
 Information on Suspected Rogue, Interfering and known interfering APs is available in AirWave on each
APs/Devices > Manage page.
 IDS events data and reports appear on AirWave’s Reports > Generated > IDS Events page.
