Introduction

AirWave is a network management platform that provides a single console where you can monitor, analyze, and configure wired and wireless networks. Whether your network is simple or a large, complex, multi-vendor installation, AirWave makes it easy to monitor your network with features like AppRF, Clarity, and VisualRF.
AirWave also provisions Aruba switches, provides CPU, memory and interface monitoring, configuration management, and upgrades switch firmware. AirWave can be used to implement zero-touch provisioning for Aruba Instant APs (IAP), Aruba switches and branch controllers.
With AirWave, you can configure:
l "Aruba Mobility Controllers" on page 15
l "Instant Access Points" on page 15
l "ArubaOS-S Switches and ArubaOS-CX Switches" on page 16

Aruba Mobility Controllers

AirWave supports global and group-level configuration of Aruba mobility controllers. Several controllers can work together with APs to provide a hierarchical and redundant mobility controller system.
The mobility controller system provides:
l AP tunnel termination and translational bridging
l GRE tunnel between each AP and a mobility controller
l A virtual connection point to wireless clients
l Frame translation from 802.11 to 802.3 and 802.3 to 802.11, including encryption and decryption of
wireless traffic
l Quality of service (QoS) and traffic prioritization
Working alone or in conjunction with ClearPass, the mobility controller authenticates wireless clients and includes a stateful firewall that can be configured to filter wireless traffic.
In this document, mobility controllers are also called access devices. For information about controller configuration, refer to the AirWave 8.2.9 Controller Configuration Guide.

Instant Access Points

Aruba Instant (Instant) is a system of access points in a Layer 2 subnet. The Instant APs (IAPs) are controlled by a single IAP that serves a dual role as both an IAP and primary Virtual Controller (VC), eliminating the need for dedicated controller hardware. This system can be deployed through a simplified setup process appropriate for smaller organizations, or for multiple geographically dispersed locations without an on-site administrator.
With AirWave, IT can centrally configure, monitor, and troubleshoot ArubaInstant WLANs, upload new software images, track devices, generate reports, and perform other vital management tasks, all from a remote location.
A Virtual Controller or Instant AP can authenticate to the AirWave server using a pre-shared key, or using two­way certificate-based authentication using an SSL certificate sent from AirWave to the Instant device. Virtual Controllers push data to AirWave via HTTPS. If your enterprise has a security policy that restricts the use of port 443 for inbound communication, you can change the port AirWave uses to communicate with Instant devices.
For additional information about Instant AP configuration, refer to the Aruba Instant in AirWave 8.2.8.2 Deployment Guide.
AirWave 8.2.9 | User Guide Introduction | 15

ArubaOS-S Switches and ArubaOS-CX Switches

AirWave supports group-level configuration of ArubaOS-S Switches andArubaOS-CX Switches. These switches connect APs, wired clients and other endpoints to the network. Working alone or in conjunction with ClearPass, the ArubaOS-S Switches provide authentication, authorization and accounting.
In this document, ArubaOS-S Switches are also called access switches, and ArubaOS-CX Switches are also called core and aggregation switches. For informationabout switch configuration, refer to the AirWave 8.2 Switch Configuration Guide.

Help improve AirWave by sending anonymous usage data
Nightly Maintenance Time (00:00 ­23:59)
Daily This setting defines the interval of queries which compares actual
device settings to the Group configuration policies stored in the AirWave database. If the settings do not match, the AP is flagged as mismatched and AirWave sends an alert via email, log, or SNMP.
NOTE: Enabling this feature with a frequency of Daily or more frequently is recommended to ensure that your AP configurations comply with your established policies. Specifying Never is not recommended.
Disabled If enabled, this setting automatically reconfigures the settings on the
device when the device is in Manage mode and AirWave detects a variance between actual device settings and the Group configuration policy in the AirWave database.
Disabled If enabled, AirWave will send anonymous data to Aruba, which may be
used to improve the AirWave software.
04:15 Specifies the local time of day AirWave should perform daily
maintenance. During maintenance, AirWave cleans the database, performs backups, and completes a few other housekeeping tasks. Such processes should not be performed during peak hours of demand.

If you select a security method that includes Certificate-based authentication, you must upload the a certificate from a supported certificate authority to the AirWave server, as the default AirWave certificate will not be recognized by the Instant AP, and will cause the SSL handshake to fail. Certificate authentication also requires that the AMP IPaddress information configured on the Instant AP is a domain name, and not an IP address.
AirWave supports the following trusted certificate authorities:
l Chain 1: Trusted Root CA: C=SE, O=AddTrust AB, OU=AddTrust External TTP Network, CN=AddTrust External
CA Root Intermediate CA: C=GB, ST=Greater Manchester, L=Salford, O=COMODO CA Limited, CN=COMODO High-Assurance Secure Server CA
