Using AirWave as a Master Device State Manager
AirWave offers the following benefits as a master device state manager:
l Ability to correlate state among multiple master controllers. This will reduce delays in containing a rogue device or
authorizing a valid device when devices roam across a large campus.
l Ability to correlate state of third party access points with ARM. This will ensure that Dell Networking W-Series
infrastructure inter-operates more efficiently in a mixed infrastructure environment.
l Ability to better classify devices based on AirWave wire-line information not currently available in AOS.
l AirWave provides a near real-time event notification and classification of new devices entering air space.
l RAPIDS gains additional wire-line discovery data from Dell Networking W-Seriescontrollers.
