ARUBA AIRWAVE
On premise IT operations management for multi-vendor campus networks
Aruba AirWave is a scalable, full featured management
solution for multi-vendor wired and wireless networks.
Organizations gain the visibility, control and troubleshooting
tools required to fully manage today’s distributed
enterprise environments.
AirWave integrates conguration and deployment and
real-time visibility and control for comprehensive
management and troubleshooting. This provides a exible
platform for maintaining the reliability and performance of
Aruba access points, controllers, switches, and selected
multi-vendor devices.
STREAMLINED CONFIGURATION AND
DEPLOYMENT
AirWave utilizes conguration groups, assigned templates,
and step by step workows to simplify device conguration.
Entire cong les can be imported, compared, assigned and
archived. Modifying and using smaller segments of
conguration les across groups of devices is also supported.
KEY FEATURES
• Unied Wired and Wireless Network Management
• Simplied Deployment Models
• Broad Visibility and Control
• Proactive Troubleshooting
• Physical and Virtual Appliances
• Enhanced Security and App Visibility
• Trac Analysis – helps to monitor application usage
and policy enforcement across the entire network. Tracks
web categories, client destinations and relative trust
levels. Details are displayed by network, roles, device type
and users.
• UCC Analytics – a consolidated view of how VoIP
applications are performing displays MOS scores, and
potential RF performance and capacity issues.
These capabilities allow IT to quickly add, modify and deploy
devices across distributed locations, while saving time and
minimizing mistakes. Aruba’s Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
can be used to automatically push conguration les to
devices to further simplify the deployment process.
Integrated auditing is also provided for security and
change management.
REAL-TIME VISIBILITY AND CONTROL
AirWave provides detailed health and analytics dashboards
to monitor critical applications and services, including:
• Network Health – used to view client usage, monitoring
and conguration compliance, alert summaries and other
selected statistics.
Figure 1: Aruba AirWave Dashboard
For detailed device visibility, simply click a chart or graph to
drill-down from any network level view, or locate and select a
device for a conguration summary and details on connected
clients, neighbors, alerts and related events.
When looking at switch information, additional visibility into
key values of individual and stacked switches is provided.
This includes port status, PoE consumption, VLAN
assignment, device and neighbor connections, power status
and trends, alerts and events and which troubleshooting
actions can be performed.

COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
Role-Based Access, Discovery and Topology
AirWave utilizes a role-based model for administrative access.
Multiple combinations of access and management rights can
be assigned as needed. AirWave allows IT to protect the
environment and provides the ability to tailor administrative
access based on assigned scope and responsibilities.
AirWave also discovers and maps devices across the entire
environment, including those with distributed locations. The
resulting topology map shows upstream relationships
between APs, controllers and switches in order to assess the
impact on related devices and clients, and to isolate root
cause of issues.
