AWMS does not push such configurations when a license related to those configurations is unavailable. For details on the licenses required by a specific version of AOS, refer to the Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS User Guide for that release. Setting Up Initial Dell PowerConnect W Configuration This section describes how to deploy an initial setup of Dell PowerConnect W Configuration in AWMS 6.4 or later versions. Prerequisites  Complete the AWMS upgrade to AWMS 6.4 or later. Upon upgrade to AWMS Version 6.4 or later, global Dell PowerConnect W Configuration is enabled by default in groups with devices in monitor-only mode and AOS firmware of 3.3.2.10 or greater.  Back up your AOS controller configuration file. Information about backing AWMS is available in the Dell PowerConnect W AirWave 7.2 User Guide in the "Performing Daily Operations in AWMS" chapter. Procedure Perform the following steps to deploy Dell PowerConnect W Configuration when at least one Dell PowerConnect W AP Group currently exists on at least one Dell PowerConnect W controller on the network: 1. Determine whether you are using global or group configuration, and set AMP Setup > General > Device Configuration > Use Global Dell PowerConnect W Configuration accordingly. 2. On the Groups > Basic page, enable device preferences for Dell PowerConnect W devices. Figure 17 illustrates this page. This configuration defines optional group display options. This step is not critical to setup, and default settings will support groups appropriate for Dell PowerConnect W Configuration. One important setting on this page is the Dell PowerConnect W GUI Config option. Ensure that setting is Yes, which is the default setting. 3. Authorize Dell PowerConnect W controllers into the device group in Monitor Only mode. CAUTION: When authorizing the first controller onto a device group, you must add the device in monitor-only mode. Otherwise, AWMS removes the configuration of the controller before you have a chance to import the configuration, and this would remove critical network configuration and status. NOTE: Dell PowerConnect W Configuration is enabled by default in AWMS. 4. Navigate to the AP/s/Devices > Audit page for the first controller to prepare for importing an existing Dell PowerConnect W controller configuration file. Figure 16 illustrates the information available on this page if the device is mismatched. Dell PowerConnect W AirWave 7.2 | Configuration Guide Dell PowerConnect W Configuration in AWMS | 21

AWMS does not push such configurations when a license related to those configurations is unavailable. For
details on the licenses required by a specific version of AOS, refer to the
Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS
User Guide
for that release.
Setting Up Initial Dell PowerConnect W Configuration
This section describes how to deploy an initial setup of Dell PowerConnect W Configuration in AWMS 6.4 or
later versions.
Prerequisites
Complete the AWMS upgrade to AWMS 6.4 or later. Upon upgrade to AWMS Version 6.4 or later, global
Dell PowerConnect W Configuration is enabled by default in groups with devices in monitor-only mode and
AOS firmware of 3.3.2.10 or greater.
Back up your AOS controller configuration file. Information about backing AWMS is available in the
Dell
PowerConnect W AirWave 7.2 User Guide
in the “Performing Daily Operations in AWMS” chapter.
Procedure
Perform the following steps to deploy Dell PowerConnect W Configuration when at least one Dell
PowerConnect W AP Group currently exists on at least one Dell PowerConnect W controller on the network:
1.
Determine whether you are using global or group configuration, and set
AMP Setup > General > Device
Configuration > Use Global Dell PowerConnect W Configuration
accordingly.
2.
On the
Groups > Basic
page, enable device preferences for Dell PowerConnect W devices.
Figure 17
illustrates this page.
This configuration defines optional group display options. This step is not critical to setup, and default
settings will support groups appropriate for Dell PowerConnect W Configuration. One important setting on
this page is the
Dell PowerConnect W GUI Config
option. Ensure that setting is
Yes
, which is the default
setting.
3.
Authorize Dell PowerConnect W controllers into the device group in
Monitor Only
mode.
4.
Navigate to the
AP/s/Devices > Audit
page for the first controller to prepare for importing an existing Dell
PowerConnect W controller configuration file.
Figure 16
illustrates the information available on this page if
the device is mismatched.
CAUTION:
When authorizing the first controller onto a device group, you must add the device in monitor-only mode. Otherwise,
AWMS removes the configuration of the controller before you have a chance to import the configuration, and this would remove
critical network configuration and status.
NOTE:
Dell PowerConnect W Configuration is enabled by default in AWMS.
