Chapter 2
Configuring AirWave for Global Dell
PowerConnect W-Series Infrastructure
This chapter explains how to optimally configure Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave to globally manage your global
Dell PowerConnect W-Series infrastructure, and contains the following topics:
“Disabling Rate Limiting in AMP Setup > General” on page5
“Entering Credentials in Device Setup > Communication” on page5
“Setting Up Recommended Timeout and Retries” on page6
“Setting Up Time Synchronization” on page7
“Enabling Support for Channel Utilization And Statistics” on page7
Disabling Rate Limiting in AMP Setup > General
The SNMP Rate Limiting for Monitored Devices option adds a small delay between each SNMP GET request,
thus the actual polling intervals will be longer than what is configured. For example, setting a 10-minute polling
interval will result in an actual 12-minute polling interval. Disabling rate limiting is recommended in most cases.
To disable rate limiting in AirWave, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to AMP Setup > General.
2. Locate the Performance section on this page.
3. In the SNMP Rate Limiting for Monitored Devices field, select No, as shown in Figure 2.
4. Select Save.
Figure 2 SNMP Rate Limiting in AMP Setup > General
Entering Credentials in Device Setup > Communication
AirWave requires several credentials to properly interface with Dell PowerConnect W-Series devices. To enter
these credentials, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to Device Setup > Communication.
2. In the Default Credentials section, select the Edit link next to Dell. The page illustrated in Figure 3 appears.
3. Enter the SNMP Community String.
NOTE: Be sure to note the community string because it must match the SNMP trap community string, which is configured later in
this document.

6| Configuring AirWave for Global Dell PowerConnect W-Series Infrastructure Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.5 | Best Practices Guide
Figure 3 Credentials in Device Setup > Communication
4. Enter the required fields for configuration and basic monitoring:
Telnet/SSH Username
Telnet/SSH Password
“enable” Password
5. Enter the required fields for WMS Offload:
SNMPv3 Auth Protocol
SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol
SNMPv3 Username
Auth Password
Privacy Password
6. Select Save when you are finished.
Setting Up Recommended Timeout and Retries
To set recommended timeout and retries settings, follow these steps:
1. In the Device Setup > Communication page, locate the SNMP Setting section.
2. Change SNMP Timeout setting to a value or either 3, 4, or 5. This is the number of seconds that the AirWave
will wait for a response from a device after sending an SNMP request, so a smaller number is more ideal.
3. Change SNMP Retries to 10. This value represents the number of times AirWave tries to poll a device when
it does not receive a response within the SNMP Timeout Period or the Group’s Missed SNMP Poll Threshold
setting (1-100).
NOTE: The protocols should be SHA and DES in order for WMS Offload to work.
NOTE: Although the upper limit for this value is 40, some SNMP libraries still have a hard limit of 20 retries. In these cases, any
retry value that is set above 20 will still stop at 20.

Figure 4 Timeout settings in Device Setup > Communication
4. Select Save.
Setting Up Time Synchronization
Setting up NTP on AirWave
On the AMP Setup > Network page, locate the Network Time Protocol (NTP) section. The Network Time
Protocol is used to synchronize the time between AirWave and your network reference NTP server. NTP servers
synchronize with external reference time sources, such as satellites, radios, or modems.
To disable NTP services, clear both the Primary and Secondary NTP server fields. Any problem related to
communication between AirWave and the NTP servers creates an entry in the event log. For more information
on ensuring that AirWave servers have the correct time, please see http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/
NTPPoolServers.
You can set the clock on a controller manually or by configuring the controller to use a Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server to synchronize its system clock with a central time source.
Manually Setting the Clock on a Controller
You can use either the WebUI or CLI to manually set the time on the controller’s clock.
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Management > Clock page.
2. Under Controller Date/Time, set the date and time for the clock.
3. Under Time Zone, enter the name of the time zone and the offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
4. To adjust the clock for daylight savings time, click Enabled under Summer Time. Additional fields appear
that allow you to set the offset from UTC, and the start and end recurrences.
5. Click Apply.
Enabling Support for Channel Utilization And Statistics
In order to enable support for channel utilization statistics, you must have the following:
AirWave 7.2 or later
NOTE: Specifying NTP servers is optional. NTP servers synchronize the time on the AirWave server, not on individual access
points.
Table 2 AMP Setup >Network > Secondary Network Fields and Default Values
Setting Default Description
Primary ntp1.yourdomain.com Sets the IP address or DNS name for the primary NTP server.
Secondary ntp2.yourdomain.com Sets the IP address or DNS name for the secondary NTP server.

AirWave Setup
Follow these steps in AirWave:
1. Navigate to AMP Setup > General.
2. In the Additional AMP Services section, set Enable AMON Data Collection to Yes, as shown in Figure 5:
Figure 5 AMON Data Collection setting in AMP Setup> General
3. Select Save.
Controller Setup (Master And Local)
Use SSH to access the controller’s command-line interface, enter enable mode, and issue the following
commands:
(Controller-Name) # configure terminal
Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
(Controller-Name) (config) # mgmt-server type amp primary-server <AMP-IP>
(Controller-Name) (config) # write mem
NOTE: ArubaOS 6.0.1 can report RF utilization metrics, while ArubaOS 6.1 is necessary to also obtain classified interferer
information.
CAUTION: Enabling these commands on ArubaOS versions prior to 6.0.1.0 can result in performance issues on the controller. If
you are running previous firmware versions such as ArubaOS 6.0.0.0, you should upgrade to ArubaOS 6.0.1 (to obtain RF
utilization metrics) or 6.1 (to obtain RF utilization and classified interferer information) before you enter this command.

Chapter 3
Configuring a Dell PowerConnect W
Group in AirWave
It is prudent to establish one or more Dell PowerConnect W Groups within AirWave. During the discovery
process you will move new discovered controllers into this group.
This chapter contains the following topics:
“Basic Monitoring Configuration” on page9
“Advanced Configuration” on page10
Basic Monitoring Configuration
1. Navigate to Groups > List.
2. Select Add.
3. Enter a Name that represents the Dell PowerConnect W-Series device infrastructure from a security,
geographical, or departmental perspective and select Add.
4. You will be redirected to the Groups > Basic page for the Group you just created. On this page you will need
to tweak a few Dell-specific settings.
5. Find the SNMP Polling Periods section of the page, as illustrated in Figure 6.
6. Change Override Polling Period for Other Services to Yes.
7. Ensure User Data Polling Period is set to 10 minutes. Do not configure this interval lower than 5 minutes.
8. Change Device-to-Device Link Polling Period to 30 minutes.
9. Change Rogue AP and Device Location Data Polling Period to 30 minutes.
Figure 6 SNMP Polling Periods section of Groups > Basic
10. Locate the Dell PowerConnect W section of this page, as illustrated in Figure 7.
NOTE: Enabling the SNMP Rate Limiting for Monitored Devices option in the previous chapter adds a small delay between each
SNMP Get request, thus the actual polling interval is 12 minutes for 10 minute polling interval.

Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.5 | Best Practices Guide Discovering Dell PowerConnect W-Series Infrastructure | 11
Chapter 4
Discovering Dell PowerConnect W-
Series Infrastructure
AirWave utilizes Dell PowerConnect W-Series topology to efficiently discover downstream infrastructure. This
chapter guides you through the process of discovering and managing your Dell PowerConnect W-Series device
infrastructure.
Refer to the following earlier chapters in this book before attempting discovery:
Chapter 2, “Configuring AirWave for Global Dell PowerConnect W-Series Infrastructure” on page5
Chapter 3, “Configuring a Dell PowerConnect W Group in AirWave” on page9
The following topics in this chapter walk through the basic procedure for discovering and managing Dell
PowerConnect W-Series Infrastructure:
“Discovering Master Controllers” on page11
“Local Controller Discovery” on page13
“Thin AP Discovery” on page13
Discovering Master Controllers
Scan networks containing Dell PowerConnect W-Series master controllers from Device Setup > Discover.
- or -
Manually enter the master controller by following these steps in the Device Setup > Add page:
1. Select the Dell Controller type and select Add. The page illustrated on Figure 8 appears.
2. Enter the Name and the IP Address for the controller.
3. Enter SNMP Community String, which is required field for device discovery.
NOTE: Always add one controller and its affiliated Thin APs into management or monitoring mode in a serial fashion, one at a time.
Adding new devices is a very CPU intensive process for AirWave and can quickly overwhelm all of the processing power of the
server if hundreds of Thin APs are added (migrated from New to Managed or Monitoring) simultaneously.
NOTE: Be sure to note the community string because it must match the SNMP trap community string, which is configured later in
this document.

12 | Discovering Dell PowerConnect W-Series Infrastructure Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.5 | Best Practices Guide
Figure 8 Dell PowerConnect W Credentials in Device Setup > Add
4. Enter the required fields for configuration and basic monitoring:
Telnet/SSH Username
Telnet/SSH password
“enable” password
5. Enter the required fields for WMS Offload
SNMPv3 Auth Protocol
SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol
SNMPv3 Username
Auth Password
Privacy Password
NOTE: The protocols should be SHA and DES in order for WMS Offload to work.

Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.5 | Best Practices Guide Discovering Dell PowerConnect W-Series Infrastructure | 13
6. Assign controller to a Group and Folder.
7. Ensure Monitor Only option is selected.
8. Select Add.
9. Navigate to APs/Devices > New page.
10. Select the Dell PowerConnect W-Series master controller you just added from the list of new devices.
11. Ensure Monitor Only option is selected.
12. Select Add.
Local Controller Discovery
Local controllers are added to AirWave via the master controller, by a discovery scan, or manually added in
Device Setup > Add. After waiting for the Thin AP Polling Period interval or executing a Poll Now command
from the APs/Devices > Monitor page, the local controllers will appear on the APs/Devices > New page.
Add the local controller to the Group defined previously. Within AirWave, local controllers can be split away
from the master controller's Group.
Thin AP Discovery
Thin APs are discovered via the local controller. After waiting for the Thin AP Polling Period or executing a Poll
Now command from the APs/Devices > Monitor page, thin APs will appear on the APs/Devices > New page.
Add the thin APs to the Group defined previously. Within AirWave, thin APs can be split away from the
controller's Group. You can split thin APs into multiple Groups if required.
CAUTION: If you are using SNMPv3 and the controller's date/time is incorrect, the SNMP agent will not respond to SNMP
requests from AirWave SNMP manager. This will result in the controller and all of its downstream access points showing as
Down in AirWave.
NOTE: Local Controller Discovery/monitoring may not work as expected if AirWave is unable to communicate directly with the
target device. Be sure and update any ACL/Firewall rules to allow AirWave to communicate with your network equipment.

Chapter 5
AirWave and Dell PowerConnect W-
Series Integration Strategies
This chapter describes strategies for integrating AirWave and Dell PowerConnect W-Series devices and contains
the following topics:
“Integration Goals” on page15
“Example Use Cases” on page16
“Prerequisites for Integration” on page17
“Enable Stats Utilizing AirWave” on page17
“WMS Offload with AirWave” on page18
“Define AirWave as a Trap Host using ArubaOS CLI” on page18
“Understanding WMS Offload Impact on Dell PowerConnect W-Series Infrastructure” on page22
Integration Goals
The following table summarizes the types of integration goals and strategies for meeting them in certain
architectural contexts:
Key integration points to consider include the following:
IDS Tracking does not require WMS Offload in an all-master or master/local environment.
IDS Tracking does require enable stats in a master/local environment.
WMS Offload will hide the Security Summary tab on master controller’s web interface.
WMS Offload encompasses enable stats or enable stats is a subset of WMS Offload.
Unless you enable stats on the local controllers in a master/local environment, the local controllers do not
populate their MIBs with any information about clients or rogue devices discovered/associated with their APs.
Instead the information is sent upstream to master controller.
Table 3 Integration Goals in All Masters or Master/Local Architectures
Integration Goals All Masters Architecture Master/Local Architecture
Rogue And Client Info enable stats

16 | AirWave and Dell PowerConnect W-Series Integration Strategies Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.5 | Best Practices Guide
Example Use Cases
The following are example use cases of integration strategies:
When to Use Enable Stats
You want to pilot AMWS and doesn't want to make major configuration changes to their infrastructure or
manage configuration from AirWave.
See “Enable Stats Utilizing AirWave” on page17.
When to Use WMS Offload
You have older Dell PowerConnect W-Series infrastructure in a master/local environment and their master
controller is fully taxed. Offloading WMS will increase the capacity of the master controller by offloading
statistic gathering requirements and device classification coordination to AirWave.
You want to use AirWave to distribute client and rogue device classification amongst multiple master
controllers in a master/local environment or in an All-Masters environment.
See the following topics:
“WMS Offload with AirWave” on page18
“Understanding WMS Offload Impact on Dell PowerConnect W-Series Infrastructure” on page22
“WMS Offload Details” on page37
When to Use RTLS
A hospital wants to achieve very precise location accuracy (5 -15 feet) for their medical devices which are
associating to the WLAN.
You want to locate items utilizing WiFi Tags.
See “Leveraging RTLS to Increase Accuracy” on page39.
When to Define AirWave as a Trap Host
You want to track IDS events within the AirWave UI.
You are in the process of converting their older third-party WLAN devices to Dell PowerConnect W-Series
devices and want a unified IDS dashboard for all WLAN infrastructure.
You want to relate Auth failures to a client device, AP, Group of APs, and controller. AirWave provides this
unique correlation capability.
See “Define AirWave as a Trap Host using ArubaOS CLI” on page18.
When to use Channel Utilization
You have a minimum version of ArubaOS 6.1.0.0 and AP-105 or AP-135.
NOTE: Enable Stats still pushes a small subset of commands to the controllers via SSH.
NOTE: RTLS can negatively impact your AirWave server's performance.
