Extreme Networks Wireless Management Suite Reference Guide 75
Refer to the following to discern whether a listed device configuration is compliant with its expected
configuration or in conflict:
Once the information within the Compliance tab is reviewed, determine whether the following
additional actions are required:
● Viewing a Device’s Configuration on page 75
● Checking a Device’s Compliance Now on page 76
● Assessing a Device’s Configuration Differential on page 77
● Resolving a Non Compliant Device Configuration on page 78
● Resetting Device Compliance on page 78
● Viewing Device Compliance Details on page 79
Viewing a Device’s Configuration
A device can be selected and its last saved WMS configuration viewed to assess the configuration used
by WMS to interpret the status displayed within the Compliance tab.
To display a device’s last saved WMS configuration:
1 Select the Configuration tab from within the My Networks menu item.
2 Highlight a device (controller or other) from within the Compliance tab.
3 Click the View button.
The View Device Configuration screen displays with the selected device’s last saved WMS
configuration. This is the configuration WMS compares to the device’s current configuration (polled
by WMS) to assess whether a conflict exists.
Device
Displays the name assigned to the device. WMS periodically polls to check whether
the device is compliant. This interval is internal to WMS and cannot be modified.
IP Address
Displays the IP address of each listed device.
Site
Displays the name of the WMS managed site within which a target device resides.
SNMP polls the listed device within this site (on behalf of WMS) to assess whether
its configuration is in conflict.
Last Check
Displays a timestamp of the time WMS polled the device to assess compliance.
Status
The following status states display when the compliance check is in progress or if
a device is not reachable. Potential devices statuses include:
Compliant - The device’s current configuration is the same as the configuration
maintained by WMS for this device model. This configuration is defined by WMS
as desired for this device model until replaced by a more optimal one.
Unknown - The compliance status is Unknown if there is an issue with the relay
server or device and compliance cannot be determined.
Saved Cfg Changed - WMS has determined the device’s saved config is different
from the saved configuration. This is important, as this different Saved Config will
be invoked the next time the device boots. This state applies to not only controller
products, but AP-3510, AP-3550 and 4600 Series models as well.
Running Cfg Changed - WMS has determined a WM3400, WM3600 or WM3700’s
running-config (current configuration) is different from the configuration saved by
WMS. Consider changing the controller’s running-config back to the configuration
saved by WMS or determine if the controller’s running-config has attributes making
it better suited for compliance.
