Loading Certificates using Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave
You can now manage W-Instant AP certificates using the Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave
Management server (AMP). The AMP directly provision the certificates for basic certificate
verification (i.e certificate type, format, version, serial number etc) before accepting the certificate

message and sends it to the Virtual Controller of the W-IAP network. Once the Virtual Controller
receives this message, it draws the certificate content from the message, converts it to the right
format and saves it on the RADIUS server.
