Additional Concepts and Components

Dell PowerConnect W Configuration emphasizes the following components and network management concepts.

Global Configuration and Scope

Dell PowerConnect W Configuration supports ArubaOS as follows:
AirWave supports global configuration from both a master-local controller deployment and an all-master

controller deployment:
In a master-local controller deployment, ArubaOS is the agent that pushes global configurations from

master controllers to local controllers. AirWave supports this ArubaOS functionality.
In an all-master-controller scenario, every master controller operates independent of other master

controllers. AirWave provides the ability to push configuration to all master controllers in this scenario.
Dell PowerConnect W Configuration supports ArubaOS profiles, Dell PowerConnect W AP Profiles, Servers,

and User Roles.
