Aruba Configuration in AWMS
Introduction
ArubaOS (AOS) is the operating system, software suite, and application engine that operates Aruba mobility
controllers and centralizes control over the entire mobile environment. The AOS Wizards, the AOS
command-line interface (CLI), and the AOS WebUI are the primary means by which to configure and deploy
AOS. For a complete description of AOS, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide for your release.
The Aruba Configuration feature in the AirWave Wireless Management Suite consolidates AOS
configuration and pushes global Aruba configurations from one utility. This chapter introduces the
components and initial setup of Aruba Configuration with the following topics:

Groups. This document provides information about the configuration and use of Aruba AP Groups, and describes
