Understanding WMS Offload Impact on Dell PowerConnect W
Infrastructure
When offloading WMS, it is important to understand what functionality is migrated to AWMS and what
functionality is deprecated.
The following tabs and sections are deprecated after offloading WMS:
 Plan Tab - where floor plans are stored and heatmaps are generated. Prior to offloading WMS, ensure that you
have exported floor plans from the Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS and imported into AWMS. All functionality
within the Plan Tab is incorporated with the VisualRF module in AWMS.
 Report Tab - All reports are incorporate within AWMS.
 Events Tab - the majority of functionality within this Tab is incorporate within AWMS Reports and Alerts
sections with the exception of:
 Interference Detected
 Rogue AP
 Station Failed
 Suspected Rogue AP
The Security Summary (Figure 12) disappears after offloading WMS. The data is still being processed by the
Master Controller, but the summary information is not available. AWMS does provide the ability to view some of
this information in detail and summary form.

 DOS Attacks - no summary data available in AWMS
NOTE: You will see many IDS and Auth Traps from this command. AWMS only processes a small subset of these traps which
display within AWMS. The Traps that AWMS does process are listed above.
