Parameter Description Range collect-stats Enables collection of statistics (up to 25,000 entries) on - the master controller for monitored APs and clients. This only applies when MMS is not configured. learn-ap Enables "learning" of non-Dell APs. - learn-system-wired-macs Enable or disable "learning" of wired MACs at the - controller. no Negates any configured parameter. - persistent-neighbor Do not age out known AP neighbors. - persistent-valid-sta poll-interval Do not age out valid stations. - Interval, in milliseconds, for communication between (any) the controller and Dell AMs. The controller contacts the AM at this interval to download AP to station associations, update policy configuration changes, and download AP and station statistics. poll-retries Maximum number of failed polling attempts before the (any) polled AM is considered to be down. propagate-wiredmacs Enables the propagation of the gateway wired MAC - information. sta-ageout-interval Time, in minutes, that a client remains unseen by any ? probes before it is deleted from the database. stat-update Enables statistics updating in the database. - Default disabled disabled disabled - disabled ? 60000 milliseconds (1 minute) 2 enabled 30 minutes enabled Usage Guidelines By default, non-Dell APs that are connected on the same wired networks as Dell APs are classified as "rogue" APs. Enabling AP learning classifies non-Dell APs as "valid" APs. Typically, you would want to enable AP learning in environments with large numbers of existing non-Dell APs and leave AP learning enabled until all APs in the network have been detected and classified as valid. Then, disable AP learning and reclassify any unknown APs as interfering. VLAN Trunking In deployments where Dell APs are not placed on every VLAN and where it is not possible to truck all VLANs to an Dell AP, enable the parameter learned-system-wired-mac. When this is enabled, ArubaOS is able to classify rogues on all the VLANs that belong to the Dellcontroller, as long as Dell APs can see the rogues in the air. If there are VLANs in the network residing on a third party controller and if those VLANs are trunked to a port on the Dellcontroller, enabling this feature will allow detection of rogues on those VLANs as well. Master/Local When learned-system-wired-mac is enabled in a master/local deployment, the learning of Wired and Gateway MACs will happen at each local controller. For topologies with local controllers in geographical locations, the local controller collects the Wired and Gateway MAC info and passes it to the APs that are connected to it. Even though the locals do the collection of Wired and Gateway MACs, the master is still be responsible for classification.
