Example Use Cases

The following are example use cases of integration strategies:

When to Use Enable Stats

You want to pilot Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave and doesn't want to make major configuration changes to
their infrastructure or manage configuration from AMP.
NOTE: Enable Stats still pushes a small subset of commands to the controllers via SSH.
See "Enable Stats Utilizing AMP" on

When to Use WMS Offload

You have older Dell PowerConnect W-Series infrastructure in a Master/Local environment and their Master

controller is fully taxed. Offloading WMS will increase the capacity of the Master Controller by offloading
statistic gathering requirements and device classification coordination to AMP.
You want to use AMP to distribute client and rogue device classification amongst multiple Master Controllers

in a Master/Local environment or in an All-Masters environment.
See the following topics:

When to Use RTLS

A hospital wants to achieve very precise location accuracy (5 -15 feet) for their medical devices which are

associating to the WLAN.
You want to locate items utilizing Wi-Fi Tags.

NOTE: RTLS could negatively impact your AMP server's performance.

When to Define AMP as Trap Host

You want to track IDS events within the AMP UI.

You are in the process of converting their older third-party WLAN devices to Dell PowerConnect W and want

a unified IDS dashboard for all WLAN infrastructure.
You want to relate Auth failures to a client device, AP, Group of APs, and controller. AMP provides this

unique correlation capability.

When to use Channel Utilization

You have a minimum version of AOS 6.1.0.0 and Dell PowerConnect W-AP105 or Dell PowerConnect W-
