In the W-AirWave User Interface (UI), you can select either Manage Read/Write or Monitor-only+Firmware Upgrades as management modes. When the W-AirWave Management level is set to Manage Read/Write, the Instant UI is in read-only mode. When the W-AirWave Management level is set to Monitoronly+Firmware Upgrades, the Instant UI changes to the read-write mode. With the latest version of W-AirWave, a new option in the AMP is available to put the W-IAP in config-only mode. In this mode, the W-IAP will receive the firmware upgrades and configurations, but will not send any statistics for monitoring. The load is reduced on W-IAP and W-AirWave and this assists in scaling W-AirWave effectively. Template-Based Configuration W-AirWave automatically creates a configuration template based on any of the existing W-IAPs, and it applies that template across the network as shown in the following figure. It audits every device on an ongoing basis to ensure that configurations never vary from the enterprise policies. It alerts you whenever a violation is detected and automatically repairs the incorrectly configured devices. Figure 82 Template-Based Configuration Trending Reports W-AirWave saves up to 14 months of actionable information, including network performance data and user roaming patterns, so you can analyze how network usage and performance trends have changed over time. It also provides detailed capacity reports with which you can plan the capacity and appropriate strategies for your organization. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) W-AirWave provides advanced, rules-based rogue classification. It automatically detects rogue W-IAPs irrespective of their location in the network and prevents authorized W-IAPs from being detected as rogue WIAPs. It tracks and correlates the IDS events to provide a complete picture of network security. 308 | W-IAP Management and Monitoring Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
