Figure 22: User Classification
CAUTION: Changing User Classification within the AirWave UI will push a user reclassification message to all controllers managed
by the AirWave server that are in Groups with Offloading the WMS database set to Yes.
All users will be set to a default classification of unclassified when WMS is first offloaded. As APs report subsequent
classification information about users, this classification will be reflected within AirWave UI and propagated to
controllers that AirWave manages. It is probable that the user’s classification reflected in the controller’s UI and in
the AirWave UI will not match, because the controller/APs do not reclassify users frequently.
There is no method in the AirWave UI to update user classification on mass to match the controller’s classification.
Each client must be updated individually within the AirWave UI.
Rules-Based Controller Classification
