Firmware Image Management
AirWave pushes firmware to the Dell Networking W-Instant Virtual Controller, and the Virtual Controller pushes the
firmware to the rest of its IAPs. When using AirWave to manage IAPs, you can upgrade the firmware by loading the
firmware onto AirWave, and then scheduling an upgrade from AirWave.
If you have a mixed deployment with multiple Instant products, AirWave allows you to upload firmware for each of the
device types.
Intrusion Detection System
AirWave automatically detects rogue IAPs irrespective of their location in the network. It prevents authorized IAPs from
being detected as rogue IAPs, and tracks and correlates the IDS events to provide a comprehensive picture of your
network’s security.
Optional Tasks
Additional optional tasks include enabling an IAP role for location-specific access and updating the Instant template.

Enabling the IAP Role
As shown previously, new IAP devices can be added to AirWave automatically. In some cases, after a device is added,
the Admin may want to enable store-specific access. In this case, the Admin might enable a specific IAP role.
1. Enable the newly created Admin User Role in AMP Setup > Roles, as shown in Figure 14.
