Configuring and Managing Devices

This section contains the following topics describing individual device configuration within device groups:

 “Moving a Device from Monitor Only to Manage Read/Write Mode” on page132

 “Configuring AP Settings” on page133

 “Configuring Device Interfaces for Cisco Catalyst Switches” on page138

 “Individual Device Support and Firmware Upgrades” on page141

While most device configuration settings can be efficiently managed by AWMS at a Group level, certain settings

must be managed at the individual device level. For example, because devices within a Group are often

contiguous with one another, and have overlapping coverage areas, it makes sense to manage these devices

individually to avoid RF interference.

AWMS automatically saves the last 10 device configurations for reference and compliance purposes. Archived

device configurations are linked on the APs/Devices > Audit page and identified by name. By default,

configuration is tracked by the date and time it was created; device configurations are also archived by date.

It is not possible to push archived configurations to devices, but archived configurations can be compared to the

current configuration, the desired configuration, or to other archived configurations using the drop-down menus

on the APs/Devices > Audit page. This applies to startup or to running configuration files.

Compare two configurations to highlight the specific lines that are mismatched. The Audit page provides links to

the AWMS pages where any mismatched settings can be configured.

Moving a Device from Monitor Only to Manage Read/Write Mode

Once the device configuration status is Good on the APs/Devices > List page, or once you have verified all

changes that will be applied to the device on the APs/Devices > Audit page, you can safely shift the device from

Monitor Only mode to Manage Read/Write mode.

To move a device from Monitor Only to Manage Read/Write mode, perform the following steps.

1. Go to the APs/Devices > List page and select the wrench icon next to the name of the AP to be shifted from

Monitor Only mode to Manage Read/Write mode. This directs you to the APs/Devices > Manage page.

NOTE: Any changes made at an individual device level will automatically override Group level settings.

NOTE: These procedures assume you are familiar with the function buttons available to save, apply, revert, and so on. For details

on button functions, see “Buttons and Icons” on page 25.

NOTE: Once a device is in Manage mode, AWMS will push a new configuration to the device in the event that the actual device

configuration does not match the AMP configuration for that device.
