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.
Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS 6.2 | Reference Guide
Description
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.
Enables "learning" of non-Dell APs.
Enable or disable "learning" of wired MACs at the
controller.
Negates any configured parameter.
Do not age out known AP neighbors.
Do not age out valid stations.
Interval, in milliseconds, for communication between
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.
Maximum number of failed polling attempts before the
polled AM is considered to be down.
Enables the propagation of the gateway wired MAC
information.
Time, in minutes, that a client remains unseen by any
probes before it is deleted from the database.
Enables statistics updating in the database.
