Setting a Maintenance Window for a Device

AirWave Management Platform can automate the manual action of putting multiple devices into Manage mode
at once so that changes can be applied, and after the maintenance period is over, the devices automatically revert
to Monitor-Only mode.
Maintenance windows can be set as a one-time or recurring event on the APs/Devices > Manage and Groups >
Basic page. You can also use the Modify Devices link to add or delete maintenance windows to multiple selected
devices at once. Additionally, this feature can be used on Master Console to set maintenance windows for
multiple AMPs.
To set a maintenance window for a single device in APs/Devices > Manage, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the APs/Devices > Manage page for a device.
2. At the bottom of the page, locate the Maintenance Windows section.
3. Select Add New AP Maintenance Window.
Figure 99 Add New Maintenance Window in APs/Devices > Manage page
4. Enter a name for the maintenance window.
5. In the Occurs field, specify whether the maintenance window should occur one time, or daily, weekly,
monthly, or annually.
6. Set the desired start time and the duration (in minutes) of the maintenance window.
7. Select Add.

Configuring Device Interfaces for Switches
