Understanding WMS Offload Impact on Dell PowerConnect W-Series
infrastructure
When offloading WMS, it is important to understand what functionality is migrated to AMP and what
functionality is deprecated.
The following ArubaOS tabs and sections are deprecated after offloading WMS:
 Plan Tab - where floor plans are stored and heatmaps are generated. Prior to offloading WMS, ensure that you
have exported floor plans from ArubaOS and imported into AMP. All functionality within the Plan Tab is
incorporated with the VisualRF module in AMP.
 Report Tab - All reports are incorporate within AMP.
 Events Tab - the majority of functionality within this Tab is incorporate within AMP Reports and Alerts
sections with the exception of:
 Interference Detected
 Rogue AP
 Station Failed
 Suspected Rogue AP
The Security Summary section (Figure 11) disappears after offloading WMS. The data is still being processed by
the Master Controller, but the summary information is not available. AMP does provide the ability to view some
of this information in detail and summary form.
