10 | Dell PowerConnect W Configuration in AirWave Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.4 | Configuration Guide
Configuration changes are pushed to the controller via SSH with no reboot required.
AMP only supports configuration of the settings which a master controller would push to the standby / local
controllers (global features). AMP supports all master, master-standby, and master-local deployments.
All settings for Profiles, Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups, Servers and Roles are supported, as is the AOS WLAN
Wizard. Controller IP addresses, VLANs, and interfaces are not supported, nor are Advanced Services with the
exception of VPN and IP Mobility.
Other features of Dell PowerConnect W Configuration in AMP include the following:
Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.4 understands AOS license dependencies.
AMP supports a variety of Dell PowerConnect W firmware versions, so profiles / fields which are not
supported by an older version will not be configured on controllers running that version.
You can provision thin APs from the AP/Devices > Manage page. You can move APs into Dell PowerConnect
W AP Groups from the Modify Devices option on the APs/Devices > List page.
You can configure AP names as AP Overrides.
Values for specific fields may be overwritten for individual controllers on the controller's APs/Devices > Manage
page.
Changes to dependency between the AMP group and folders help customers who want to use the folder structure to
manage configuration; however, users are now able to see (but not access) group and folder paths for which they do
not have permissions.
For more detailed information about this feature, as well as steps to transition from template-based configuration to
web-based configuration, refer to additional chapters in this user guide. For known issues and details on the AOS
version supported by each release, refer to the Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.4 Release Notes at
