Concept Guide

The WIDS report cites the number of IDS events for devices that have experienced the most instances in the
prior 24 hours and provides links to support additional analysis or configuration in response.
RF Visualization Support forInstant
W-AirWave supports RF visualization for Instant. The VisualRF module provides a real-time picture of the actual
radio environment of your wireless network and the ability to plan the wireless coverage of new sites. VisualRF
uses sophisticated RF fingerprinting to accurately display coverage patterns and calculate the location of every
Instant device in range. VisualRF provides graphical access to floor plans, client location, and RF visualization for
floors, buildings, and campuses that host your network.

PSK-based and Certificate-based Authentication
On the DHCP server, two formats for option 43 are supported:
l <organization>,<ams-ip>,<ams-key>— If you choose this format, the W-IAP authenticates the W-
AirWave Management Platform server using the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) login process.
l <organization>,<ams-domain>— If you choose this format, the W-IAP resolves the W-AirWave domain
name into one or two IP addresses as W-AirWave Primary or W-AirWave Backup, and then W-IAP starts a
certificate-based authentication with W-AirWave Management platform server, instead of the PSK login.
When the W-AirWave Management platform domain name is used, the W-IAP performs certificate-based
authentication with the W-AirWave Management platform server. The W-IAP initiates an SSL connection
with the W-AirWave server. The W-AirWave server verifies the signature and public key certificate from the
W-IAP. If the signature matches, the W-AirWave responds to the W-IAP with the login request.
Configurable Port for W-IAP and W-AirWave Management Server Communication
You can now customize the port number of the W-AirWave management server through the server_
host:server_port format, for example, amp.aruba.com:4343.
The following is an example for configuring the port number of the W-AirWave management server:
24:de:c6:cf:63:60# conf t
24:de:c6:cf:63:60 (config) # ams-ip 10.65.182.15:65535
24:de:c6:cf:63:60 (config) # end
24:de:c6:cf:63:60# commit apply
