Overview of Dell Networking W-Instant

DellNetworkingW-Instant (Instant)isasystemof accesspointsinaLayer2 subnet. TheIAPsarecontrolledby a singleIAPthat servesadualroleasanIAPandprimary VirtualController(VC),eliminatingtheneedfordedicated controllerhardware. Thissystemcanbedeployedthroughasimplifiedsetupprocessappropriateforsmaller organizations,orformultiplegeographically dispersedlocationswithout anon-siteadministrator.

Only thefirst IAP/VirtualControlleryouaddtothenetworkmust beconfigured; thesubsequent IAPswillall inherit thenecessary configurationinformationfromtheVirtualController. DellNetworkingW-Instant continually monitorsthenetworktodeterminetheIAPthat shouldfunctionastheVirtualControllerat any time, andtheVirtualControllerwillmovefromIAPtoIAPasnecessary without impactingnetworkperformance.

TheVirtualControllertechnology inDellNetworkingW-Instant iscapableof IAPautodiscovery,802.1X authentication,role-basedanddevice-basedpolicy enforcement,roguedetection,andAdaptiveRadio Management (ARM).

Instant Management with AirWave

UnlikeotherWLANmanagement products,AirWaveeliminatestheneedtoconfigureandtroubleshoot individualAPsordispatchITpersonnelon-site. WithAirWave,ITcancentrally configure,monitor,and troubleshoot DellNetworkingW-Instant WLANs,uploadnewsoftwareimages,trackdevices,generatereports, andperformothervitalmanagement tasks,allfromaremotelocation.

AirWave Security Options

AVirtualControllerorInstant APcanauthenticatetotheAirWaveserverusingapre-sharedkey,orusingtwo- way certificate-basedauthenticationusinganSSLcertificatesent fromAirWavetotheInstant device.

TheCertificate-basedauthenticationfeaturerequiresyouuploadtheacertificatefromasupportedcertificate authority totheAirWaveserver,asthedefault AirWavecertificatewillnot berecognizedby theInstant AP,and willcausetheSSLhandshaketofail. Certificateauthenticationalsorequiresthat theAirWave IP address informationconfiguredontheInstant APisadomainname,andnot anIPaddress.

Intrusion Detection System

AirWaveautomatically detectsrogueIAPsirrespectiveof theirlocationinthenetwork. It preventsauthorized IAPsfrombeingdetectedasrogueIAPs,andtracksandcorrelatestheIDSeventstoprovideacomprehensive pictureof yournetwork’ssecurity.

Firmware Image Management

AirWavepushesfirmwaretotheDellNetworkingW-Instant VirtualController,andtheVirtualControllerpushes thefirmwaretotherest of itsIAPs. WhenusingAirWavetomanageIAPs,youcanupgradethefirmwareby loadingthefirmwareontoAirWave,andthenschedulinganupgradefromAirWave.

If youhaveamixeddeployment withmultipleInstant products,AirWaveallowsyoutouploadfirmwareforeach of thedevicetypes.

Using Instant with AirWave

AirWavecanbeusedtoprovisionandmanageamulti-sitedeployment of DellNetworkingW-Instant networks. Forexample,if youhave100 retailofficesthat requireInstant toprovideWLANconnectivity at eachoffice, AirWavecanbeusedtoprovisionallthe100 officesfromacentralsite. AirWavealsoprovidestheadministrator withtheability tomonitorthesegeographically dispersedInstant networksusinganAirWaveserver(depending onthescalability recommendationsforAirWave).

Withadistributeddeployment wheremultiplelocationshaveaVirtualControllerandIAPs,AirWaveservesasa centralizedmanagement console. AirWaveprovidesallfunctionality fornormalWLANdeployments,including long-termtrendreporting,PCI compliance,configurationauditing,role-basedadministration,locationservices, RFvisualization,andmany otherfeatures.

IntegratingInstant systemsintoAirWaveisuniquefromthesetupof any otherdeviceclassduetothefollowing considerations:

Setting up Dell Networking W-Instant

Overview

Youcanset upDellNetworkingW-Instant inoneof thefollowingways:

•Manually. See"SettingupInstant Manually"onpage9.

•Automatically (throughDHCP). See"SettingupInstant Automatically"onpage12.

Theautomaticsetupismost suitedforamulti-siteInstant deployment. Bothoptionsaresummarizedhere,but refertotheDellNetworkingW-Instant documentationformoreinformationonsettingupthehardwareand configuringthenetwork.

Foreachremotelocation,anon-siteinstallerisrequiredtophysically mount theIAPs,connect totheDell NetworkingW-Instant SSID,configuretheWLAN,configurethenamesof theIAPs,andentertheinformationin thefirst IAP’suserinterfacethat willenablecommunicationwithAirWave. Thefirst Instant networkthat isadded toAirWaveincludesthe‘golden’configurationthat isusedasatemplatetoprovisionotherInstant networksat otherlocationsasthelocationsarebrought online. It isrecommendedthat the‘golden’configurationisvalidated andpre-testedinanon-productionenvironment priortoapplyingit toaproductionnetwork.

Users have the optiontoaddadditional devices intomanagedmode automatically by setting the Automatically Authorized Virtual Controller Mode optionto Manage Read/Write onthe AMP Setup > General page. Refer tothe

Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 User Guide for more information. Itis alsoimportanttonote thatany changes thatare made tothe template variables will have tobe manually appliedtoeachdeployeddevice.

Setting up Instant Manually

WhensettingupDellNetworkingW-Instant manually,youwillberequestedtoprovideanOrganizationstring, theAirWaveIPaddress,andaSharedKey. Thestepstocreatethisinformationaredescribedinthefollowing sections:

•"CreatingyourOrganizationString"onpage9

•"AuthenticatingtotheAirWaveServer"onpage10

•"EnteringtheOrganizationStringandAirWaveInformationintotheIAP"onpage11

Creating your Organization String

TheOrganizationStringisaset of colon-separatedstringscreatedby theAirWaveadministratortoaccurately represent thedeployment of eachDellNetworkingW-Instant system. ThisstringisenteredintotheDell NetworkingW-Instant UI by theon-siteinstaller.

Theformat of theOrganizationStringisOrg:subfolder1:subfolder2... andsoon,upto31 characterslong. Org, thetop-levelstring,isgenerally thenameof yourorganizationandisusedtoautomatically generatethe following(if not already present)inAirWave:

•AirWaveRole: OrgAdmin(initially disabled)

•AirWaveUser: OrgAdmin(assignedtotheroleOrgAdmin)

•Folder: Org(undertheTopfolderinAirWave)

•ConfigurationGroup: Org

AdditionalstringsintheOrganizationStringareusedtocreateahierarchy of subfoldersunderthefoldernamed Org:

TocreateyourOrganizationString,considertheplanof howyourDellNetworkingW-Instant IAPsaretobe physically distributed. Asabest practice,theOrganizationStringshouldmirroryourcompany'sgeographicalor internalreportingstructure. Forexample,if youplantodeploy DellNetworkingW-Instant infourstoresintwo different citiesforAcmeCorporation,yourOrganizationStringsmight looklikethese:

•Acme:NewYork:TimesSquareStore

•Acme:NewYork:QueensStore

•Acme:SanFrancisco:Sunset Store

•Acme:SanFrancisco:SOMAStore

Authenticating to the AirWave Server

WhentheAirWaveadministratormanually authorizesthefirst VirtualControllerforanorganization,Dell NetworkingW-AirWaveusestheVirtualController'ssharedkey orauthenticationcertificatetoauthenticate otherInstant devicesonthenetwork. OnceindividualInstant accesspointssuccessfully completed authentication,they canalsobevalidatedagainst apredefinedwhitelist beforethey appearintheAPs/Devices > Newlist.

Dell Networking W-AirWave 8.0 User Guide for more information. Itis alsoimportanttonote thatany changes thatare made tothe template variables will have tobe manually appliedtoeachdeployeddevice.

Shared Key Authentication

TheAirWaveadministratorcanuseasharedkey tomanually authorizethefirst VirtualControllerforan organization. Any stringisacceptable,but thisstringmust bethesameforalldevicesinyourorganization.

TheAirWaveadministratorsendsthesharedsecret key,OrganizationStringandtheAirWaveIPaddresstothe on-siteinstallersettinguptheVirtualControllerandotherInstant devicesonthenetwork. TheAirWave administratorthenmanually authorizestheVirtualControllersharedsecret key whenit appearsinthe APs/Devices > Newlist. AftertheVChasbeenvalidated,otherInstant devicesusingthat sharedkey will automatically authenticatewiththeAirWaveserver,andappearintheAPs/Devices > Newlist.

Always ensure the protectionof your organization’s sharedsecret. Knowledge of this sharedsecret, the organization string, andcommunicationprotocol couldallowa rogue device tomasquerade as a Dell Networking W-Instantdevice.

Whitelist Authentication

TheInstant whitelist databaseisalist of theInstant APsthat areallowedtoaccesstheAirWaveserverafter completingpre-sharedkey orcertificateauthentication. Whitelist authenticationisdisabledby default,but can beenabledinthe Authorize Dell InstantAPs connecting to AirWave sectionof the AMP Setup > General page. Best practicesistocreateyourwhitelist before enablingthewhitelist authenticationfeature.

TheInstant APwhitelist canbemanually configuredusingtheAirWaveUI,orimportedintoAirWaveincommaseparatedvalues(CSV)format.

Whitelist filescanincludethefollowingdatacolumns. TheName fieldismandatory,andeachentry must also containeitheraserialnumberoraLANMACaddress.
