Configuring Wlse To Communicate With Aps; Discovering Devices; Managing Devices; Inventory Reporting - Dell PowerConnect W-Airwave User Manual

Configuring WLSE to Communicate with APs

1. Go to the Device Setup > Discover page.
2. Configure SNMP Information.
3. Configure HTTP Information.
4. Configure Telnet/SSH Credentials.
5. Configure HTTP ports for IOS access points.
6. Configure WLCCP credentials.
7. Configure AAA information.

Discovering Devices

There are three methods to discover access points within WLSE, as follows:
Using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)

Importing from a file

Importing from CiscoWorks

Perform these steps to discover access points.
1. Go to the Device > Managed Devices > Discovery Wizard page.
2. Import devices from a file.
3. Import devices from Cisco Works.
4. Import using CDP.

Managing Devices

Prior to enabling radio resource management on IOS access points, the access points must be under WLSE
management.
NOTE: AWMS becomes the primary management/monitoring vehicle for IOS access points, but for AWMS to gather Rogue
information, the WLSE must be an NMS manager to the APs.
Use these pages to make such configurations:
1. Go to Device > Discover > Advanced Options.
2. Select the method to bring APs into management Auto, or specify via filter.

Inventory Reporting

When new devices are managed, the WLSE generates an inventory report detailing the new APs. AWMS
accesses the inventory report via the SOAP API to auto-discover access points. This is an optional step to enable
another form of AP discovery in addition to AWMS' CDP, SNMP scanning, and HTTP scanning discovery for
Cisco IOS access points. Perform these steps for inventory reporting.
1. Go to Devices > Inventory > Run Inventory.
2. Run Inventory executes immediately between WLSE polling cycles.

Defining Access

AWMS requires System Admin access to WLSE. Use these pages to make these configurations.
1. Go to Administration > User Admin.
2. Configure Role and User.
