Appendix Cwms Offload Details; State Correlation Process - Dell PowerConnect W-Airwave Manual

WMS Offload instructs the master controller to stop correlating ARM, WIPS, and WIDS state information
amongst its local controllers because AirWave will assume this responsibility.

State Correlation Process

1. AP-1-3-1 hears rogue device A.
2. Local controller 1-3 evaluates devices and does initial classification and sends a classification request to the
AirWave.
3. AirWave receives message and re-classifies the device if necessary and reflects this within AirWave GUI and
via SNMP traps, if configured.
4. AirWave sends a classification message back to all local controllers managed by master controller 1, (1-1, 1-2,
and 1-3).
5. AirWave sends a classification message back to all additional local controllers managed by the AirWave server.
In this example all local controllers under master controller 2, (2-1, 2-2, and 2-3) would receive the
classification messages.
6. If an administrative AirWave user manually overrides the classification, then AirWave will send a re-
classification message to all applicable local controllers.
