Configuring Local WMS Settings
You can also use the CLI to define local WMS system settings for the maximum number of APs and client
stations.
Use this command with caution. Increasing the limit will cause an increase in usage in the memory by WMS. In
general, each entry will consume about 500 bytes of memory. If the setting is bumped up by 2000, then it will cause
an increase in WMS memory usage by 1MB

(host) (config) #ids wms-local-system-profile max-sta-threshold <max-sta-threshold>
Managing the WMS Database
The WMS process interacts with all the air monitor (AM) processes in the network. When WMS receives an
event message from an AM, the WMS process will save the event information along with the BSSID of the AP
that generated the event in the WMS database. Use the following commands in Enable mode to manage the
WMS database.
The wms export-db command exports the specified file as an ASCII text file into the WMS database.
(host) #wms export-db <filename>
The wms import-db command imports the specified file into the WMS database:
(host) #wms import-db <filename>
The wms reint-db command reinitializes the WMS database. Note that this command does not make an
automatic backup of the current database.
(host) #wms reint-db
Optimizing Classification Behavior
Starting with AOS-W 6.4.4.0, APs can be configured to periodically send WMS a list of monitored devices that
are still unclassified. Once the WMS receives this list, a classification message is sent from the WMS to the AP, to
classify each unclassified device.
