Inventory Reporting; Defining Access; Grouping; Configuring Ios Aps For Wds Participation - Dell PowerConnect W-Airwave User Manual

Inventory Reporting

When new devices are managed, the WLSE generates an inventory report detailing the new APs. AMP 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 AMP's 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

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

Grouping

It's much easier to generate reports or faults if APs are grouped in WLSE. Use these pages to make such
configurations.
1. Go to Devices > Group Management.
2. Configure Role and User.
