6. Select Save and Apply.
7. Select Save.
This will push a set of commands via SSH to all Dell Networking W-Series local controllers. AirWave must have
read/write access to the controllers in order to push these commands.
This process will not reboot your controllers.
Ifyou do not follow the above steps, local controllers will not be configured to populate statistics. This decreases AirWave's
capability to trend client signal information and to properly locate devices. See "AOS CLI" on page 35 for information about
how to utilize the AOS CLI to enable stats on Dell Networking W-Series infrastructure.
If your credentials are invalid or the changes are not applied to the controller, error messages will display on the
controller's APs/Devices > Monitor page under the Recent Events section. If the change fails, AirWave does not audit
these setting (display mismatches) and you will need to apply to the controller by hand. See "AOS CLI" on page 35 for
detailed instructions.
These are the commands pushed by AirWave while enabling WMS Offload. Do not enter these commands:
configure terminal
no mobility-manager <Active WMS IP Address>
wms
general collect-stats enable
stats-update-interval 120
show wms general
write mem
WMS Offload with AirWave
To offload WMS on the Dell Networking W-Seriescontrollers using AirWave:
1. In AMP Setup> General, locate the Device Configuration section and enable or disable Allow WMS Offload
Configuration in Monitor-Only Mode.
2. Select Save and Apply. This will push a set of commands via SSH to all Dell Networking W-Series master
controllers. If the controller does not have an SNMPv3 user that matches the AirWave database it will automatically
create a new SNMPv3 user. AirWave must have read/write access to the controllers to push these commands
3. Navigate to Groups > Basic and locate the Dell Networking W section.
4. Set the Offload WMS Database field to Yes.
