Field Default Description
Add New LDAP Rule none
The LDAP rule parameters are Position, Role Attribute,
Operation, Value, and AirWave role. If you create multiple
LDAP rules, rules are processed in order based on the rule
position value, so the position you assign to the LDAP rule
represents the order in which the LDAP rule is applied to
determine the AirWave role. LDAP rules can only be
configured and applied after LDAP authentication is enabled.
The LDAP rules are similar to the rules used by the controller
to derive the AirWave role.

Enabling AirWave to Manage Your Devices
Once AirWave is installed and active on the network, the next task is to define the basic settings that allow AirWave to
communicate with and manage your devices. Device-specific firmware files are often required or are highly desirable.
Furthermore, the use of Web Auth bundles is advantageous for deployment of Cisco WLC wireless LAN controllers
when they are present on the network.
This section contains the following procedures:
