Classifying Dell Devices in Client Detail

If you have deployed Dell PowerConnect W-Seriescontrollers and have WMS Offload enabled on the network, the
Clients > Client Detail page allows you to classify the device in the Device Information section, and to push this
configuration to the Dell PowerConnect W-Seriescontrollers that govern the devices. The classifications are as
follows:
Unclassified—Devices are unclassified by default.
l
Valid—If the Protect Valid Stations option is enabled, this setting designates the device as a legitimate network
l
device. When this Valid setting is pushed, this setting prevents valid stations from connecting to a non-valid AP.
Contained—When this status is pushed to the device, Dell PowerConnect W-Seriescontrollers will attempt to
l
keep it contained from the network.
You can classify the user regardless of whether WMS Offload is enabled. If WMS Offload is enabled, the
classification will get pushed up to the controller.

Quick Links for Clients on Dell Devices

In Clients > Client Detail, the following two drop-down menus appear next to the Save button in the Device Info
section:
Open controller web UI: A drop-down menu that allows you to jump to the controller's UI in a new window.
l
Thin APs link to Controller > Access Points when not operating in mesh mode, or Controller > Mesh Nodes
otherwise. Controllers show several more pages in this menu (Security Dashboard, for instance) if the controller
is running ArubaOS version 6.1 or greater.
Run a command: A drop-down menu with a list of CLI commands you can run directly from the APs/Devices >
l
Monitor page.
