Default Description
No When Yes is selected, you can enable the Dell PowerConnect W WMS
offload feature on the Groups > Basic page for WLAN switches in Monitor
Only mode. Enabling WMS offload does not cause a controller to reboot.
This option is supported only for Aruba Networks and Dell PowerConnect W
devices.
No Allows AWMS to retain unused Dell PowerConnect W OS configuration
profiles. You can define profiles on a WLAN switch but it is not necessary to
reference them from a virtual AP configuration or other component of Dell
PowerConnect W Configuration. Normally AWMS deletes unreferenced
profiles, but this setting retains them when enabled with Yes.
NOTE: If this setting is enabled with Yes, then all profiles are pushed to all
controllers. In this case, you cannot have different configurations for
different controllers.

more hard disk space you require.

store client session records, the more hard disk space you require.
