7. AMP periodically polls each Local controller's MIB to ensure state parity with the AMP database. If the Local
controller's device state does not comply with the AMP database, AMP will send a re-classification message to
bring it back into compliance.
Benefits of using AMP as Master Device State Manager
 Ability to correlate state among multiple Master controllers. This will reduce delays in containing a rogue
device or authorizing a valid device when devices roam across a large campus.
 Ability to correlate state of third party access points with ARM. This will ensure Dell PowerConnect W-Series
infrastructure interoperates more efficiently in a mixed infrastructure environment.
 Ability to better classify devices based on AMP wire-line information not currently available in ArubaOS.
 AMP provides a near real-time event notification and classification of new devices entering air space.
 RAPIDS gains additional wire-line discovery data from Dell PowerConnect W-Series controllers.
NOTE: The Rogue Detail page displays a BSSID table for each rogue that displays the desired classification and the classification
on the device.
