Aruba AirWave DL360 Enterprise
Centralized visibility and management for multivendor access networks

Features:

Real-Time Monitoring and Visibility

• Automatically track every user and device - wireless and remote - on the network.
• Gain visibility into clients associated to network including location, SNR, connection speed and more.
• Measure response times and failures rates for client association with Wi-Fi radio, authentication with a RADIUS server, gathering IP address through DHCP, and resolving names for DNS services.
• Monitor wired infrastructure that connects wireless controllers and APs.
• View radio and RADIUS errors, including noise floor and channel utilization information, frequent causes of connectivity problems.
• Drill down rapidly from network-wide to device-level monitoring views.
• Track RF performance, capacity and application-level statistics, web traffic as well as network deviations over a 40-week period.

Device Discover

• Automatically discovers wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure devices.
• Operate in any network environment, including large distributed networks with multiple locations.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

• View client device data from ArubaOS, Aruba Instant and Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager including device type, operating system, operating system details, manufacturer and model.
• Search for clients by user name or MAC address for a diagnostic view of device and network statistics along with indicators to evaluate overall health and performance.
• Overlay client health on a floor plan to diagnose issues specific to the client or to an area on a floor plan.
• Easily diagnose RF issues in the network for advanced RF troubleshooting.

Root Cause Analysis and Event Correlation

• Map upstream relationships between APs, controllers and switches to identify the root cause of downtime and performance problems.
• Correlate performance and downtime issues to send only a single alert in the event of an upstream device failure.

Configuration Management

• Automatically configure APs, controllers, Aruba Instant, and Aruba Switches.
• Define configuration policies through a web user interface or by importing known-good configuration from an existing device.
• Configure Aruba Instant APs to provision a large number of branch locations with ease. Manage configurations across multiple locations with tools like adding notes, and overrides, as well as multi-edit and contextsensitivity support.
• Eliminate time-consuming and error-prone manual updates with efficient remote software distribution.
• Support advanced firmware image upgrades with features such as enforcing certified versions by group, splitting-up image downloads and reboot processes, as well as support for scheduling of firmware upgrades or change configurations to occur during off hours.
• Archive device configurations for auditing and version control. Additionally, archive device configurations and flash backups to restore previous stat and configuration of Aruba controllers.
• Maintain detailed audit logs of changes made by all AirWave operators.

Better Network Planning and Provisioning

• VisualRF and the offline VisualRF Plan tool allow quick planning of RF and wired coverage for new sites.

Managing Latest Technologies, Architectures and Products

• A single management interface for multiple generations of devices.
• Support autonomous, controller-managed and mesh APs, including outdoor Aruba AirMesh.
• Monitor wired edge devices using standard MIB data.
• Generate reports on wired port utilization for capacity planning.
• Support latest ArubaOS and ArubaOS-Switch management capabilities.

Easy-To-Use Web Interface

• Role-based access, viewing rights and administrative privileges tailored to job responsibilities.
• Custom graphs of key information allow for pan and zoom for visibility into specific periods of time.
• Identify and search for users by user name.
• Client overview summarizes the types of clients attached to the network and provides visibility into watched or VIP clients.
• Multiple dashboard views provide visibility into every aspect of RF, clients, apps and network services.

Hardware Platforms

The following hardware platforms are designed and tested to run AirWave, to ensure compatibility and performance. Two available models are:

• Pro version supporting up to 1,500 managed devices
• Enterprise version supporting up to 4,000 managed devices.
