Airwave Integration and Management

AirWave is a solution for managing rapidly changing wireless networks. The easy-to-use interface and user-centric

approach lets you to easily solve any connectivity issues. It allows you to efficiently and remotely manage and

monitor enterprise wireless LAN. It allows you to monitor and change wireless LAN settings, generate compliance

reports, locate users and W-IAPs, and diagnose problems from any Internet connection. Dell PowerConnect

W-IAPs communicate with AirWave using the HTTPS protocol. This allows an AirWave server to be deployed in

the cloud across a NAT device such as a router.

AirWave Features

This section describes the AirWave features that are available in the Dell Instant network.

Image Management

AirWave allows updating the firmware on WLAN devices by defining a minimum acceptable firmware version for

each make and model of a device. It remotely distributes the firmware image to the WLAN devices that require

updates, and also schedules the firmware updates such that updating is completed without the necessity to

manually monitor the devices.

The following models can be used to upgrade the firmware:

 Directed: In this model, the user initiates a new image upgrade by giving a command to the virtual controller

with a URL that provides the new image location.

 Automatic: In this model, the virtual controller periodically checks for newer updates from a configured URL,

and automatically initiates upgrade of the network.

W-IAP and Client Monitoring

AirWave allows you to find any W-IAP or client on the wireless network and to see real-time monitoring views.

These monitoring views can be used to aggregate critical information and high-end monitoring information.

Template Based Configuration

AirWave automatically creates a configuration template based on any of the existing W-IAPs, and it applies that

template across the network as shown in Figure 89. It audits every device on an ongoing basis to ensure that

configurations never vary from the enterprise policies. It alerts you whenever a violation is detected and

automatically repairs the misconfigured device.
