Setup Guide
AirWave collects basic information about universal devices including name, contact, uptime and location. After you add
a universal device, you can view a list of its interfaces on APs/Devices > Manage.
Select the pencil icon next to an interface, to select to be non-monitored or monitored as an interface. AirWave collects
this information and displays it on the APs/Devices > Monitor page in the Interface section. AirWave supports MIB-II
interfaces and polls in/out byte counts for up to two interfaces. AirWave also monitors sysUptime.
Adding a Dell Controller
Dell Networking W-Series controllers can be discovered during a scan or can be added manually. The steps are similar to
those described in "Adding Devices with the Device Setup >Add Page" on page 5; however, additional steps are
described to ensure that the controller is configured properly for monitoring.
1. Select the Dell Controller type and select Add.
2. Enter the Name and the IP Address for the device.
3. Enter the SNMP Community String, which is required field for device discovery.
Be sure to note the community string because it must match the SNMP trap community string, which is configured later in
this document.
4. Enter the required fields for configuration and basic monitoring:
l Telnet/SSH Username
l Telnet/SSH password
l Enable password
5. Assign the device to the correct Group and to a Folder.
6. Ensure that the Monitor Only option is selected.
7. Select Add. The Confirmation page displays.
8. Select Apply Changes Now.
9. Navigate to the APs/Devices > New page.
10. Select the Dell controller you just added from the list of new devices.
11. Ensure Monitor Only option is selected.
12. Select Add.
Adding as a Management Server
This section describes how to set up AirWave as a management server.
Enabling these commands on ArubaOS (AOS) versions prior to 6.0.1.0 can result in performance issues on the controller. If
you are running previous firmware versions such as AOS 6.0.0.0, you should upgrade to AOS 6.0.1 (to obtain RF utilization
metrics) or 6.1 (to obtain RF utilization
and
classified interferer information) before you enter this command.
The following commands are for AOS 6.4. To get the commands for other versions, refer to the Command-Line Interface
Reference Guide for that version.
Use SSH to access the ’s command-line interface, enter enable mode, and issue the following commands:
(Controller-Name) # confcontrollerigure terminal
Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
(Controller-Name) (config) # mgmt-server type amp primary-server <AMP-IP> profile <profile-name>
(Controller-Name) (config) # write mem
