Page 14 highlights

Instant CLI The Instant Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based interface that is accessible through a Secure Shell (SSH) session. SSH access requires that you configure an IP address and a default gateway on the W-IAP and connect the WIAP to your network. This is typically performed when the Instant network on a W-IAP is set up. What is New in this Release The following features are introduced in Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0: Table 5: New Features Feature Description Cluster Security Support for cluster security is introduced to secure control plane messages between WIAPs. Additionally, DTLS is used with cluster security for extended security facilities. Cluster security also provides the option of logging and debugging by organizing the logs into modules which are later used for debugging. Support for RFC5997 Starting from Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0, you can configure the RFC5997 feature on the WIAP to send a status request query to the RADIUS server each time there is an authentication or accounting request timeout. This helps determine if the server is actually down before marking the server as unavailable. Clarity Live Instant now supports inline monitoring through Clarity Live to identify client connectivity issues and send the data to W-AirWave for analysis. It helps in isolating the root cause of the connectivity issues experienced by receiving regular statistics and updates generated by the events. Client Match for Access Points in a Zone Starting from Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0, the decision to move a client from a home W-IAP to a target W-IAP will be made at the SSID level instead of the radio level, by adding the SSID name to the client match radio database. Client Match will check if the same SSID (zone specific SSID on Home W-IAP) is available on the target W-IAP before it moves the client. Changing the W-IAP Installation Mode Instant now allows users to change the installation type of the W-IAPs from indoor to outdoor or vice-versa. Support for New IAP Devices Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 release introduces support for the following new DellW-IAP devices. These new devices do not interoperate with Instant versions lower than Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0. If these W-IAPs are placed into a cluster running older Instant versions prior to Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0, the devices will reboot with the Image Sync Fail reason. To resolve this issue, upgrade the existing cluster to minimum Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 release, and then add the new W-IAP devices. 14 | About Instant Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide

Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
Instant CLI
The Instant Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based interface that is accessible through a Secure Shell
(SSH) session.
SSH access requires that you configure an IP address and a default gateway on the W-IAP and connect the W-
IAP to your network. This is typically performed when the Instant network on a W-IAP is set up.
What is New in this Release
The following features are introduced in Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0:
Feature
Description
Cluster Security
Support for cluster security is introduced to secure control plane messages between W-
IAPs. Additionally, DTLS is used with cluster security for extended security facilities.
Cluster security also provides the option of logging and debugging by organizing the
logs into modules which are later used for debugging.
Support for RFC5997
Starting from Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0, you can configure the RFC5997 feature on the W-
IAP to send a status request query to the RADIUS server each time there is an
authentication or accounting request timeout. This helps determine if the server is
actually down before marking the server as unavailable.
Clarity Live
Instant now supports inline monitoring through Clarity Live to identify client connectivity
issues and send the data to W-AirWave for analysis. It helps in isolating the root cause of
the connectivity issues experienced by receiving regular statistics and updates
generated by the events.
Client Match for Access
Points in a Zone
Starting from Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0, the decision to move a client from a home W-IAP to
a target W-IAP will be made at the SSID level instead of the radio level, by adding the
SSID name to the client match radio database. Client Match will check if the same SSID
(zone specific SSID on Home W-IAP) is available on the target W-IAP before it moves the
client.
Changing the W-IAP
Installation Mode
Instant now allows users to change the installation type of the W-IAPs from indoor to
outdoor or vice-versa.
Table 5:
New Features
Support for New IAP Devices
Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 release introduces support for the following new DellW-IAP devices. These new devices
do not interoperate with Instant versions lower than Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0. If these W-IAPs are placed into a
cluster running older Instant versions prior to Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0, the devices will reboot with the
Image
Sync Fail
reason. To resolve this issue, upgrade the existing cluster to minimum Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0
release, and then add the new W-IAP devices.
