Aruba Switches

AirWave supports monitoring, template configuration, and firmware changes on the Aruba switches listed in Table 3. On these switches, you can set up device-specific triggers and alerts and designate them as trap receivers. If you want to see the SNMP traps, go to the System > Syslog & Traps page.

In addition, you can push a complete configuration profile using templates to Aruba switches that have a factory-default configuration, or you can send configuration jobs using switch CLI commands and snippets to switches in a device group.

NOTE In VisualRF, these Aruba switches appear in the VisualRF product catalog. However, their utilization values will be 0 because AirWave does not get utilization values for these devices.

High Availability Support

AirWave 8.2 introduces support for pairs of HP Unified Wired-WLAN (UWW) devices operating in HA mode. AirWave monitors the status of each controller. After AirWave detects that a failover occurred and the APs failed over to the backup controller, AirWave displays the current status of the APs.

Monitoring Support

AirWave provides monitoring through SNMP polling with the OIDS listed in the following table.

NOTE Configuration and configuration backup features are not supported in the above listed devices. Limited testing is done with simulated devices.

HPE ProCurve

HPE ProCurve switches have the following additional support through AirWave:

  • Automated discovery through SNMP
  • Model & software version identification

Other Third-Party Vendor Devices

AirWave supports the following monitoring features for other third party devices:

  • User monitoring data such as connection time, user name, SSID, and bandwidth
  • Network monitoring data, including real-time and historical bandwidth and user count metrics
  • Rogue detection and classification using AirWavecustomizable rules
  • VisualRF heatmaps and user/rogue location
  • Reports
  • Triggers and alerts

In some cases, you can do basic configuration and firmware upgrades, as well as discover third-party controller and APs.

Cisco® Devices

AirWave supports Cisco devices that are running the latest verified firmware versions and have not reached the end of life milestone. Informal testing shows that AirWave supports devices running more recent versions of firmware, but full support for these later versions is not validated.

Cisco Autonomous Access Points

AirWave provides monitoring, management, and software upgrade support for the devices listed in Table 8.

Terminology Change

As part of advancing HPE's commitment to racial justice, we are taking a much-needed step in overhauling HPE engineering terminology to reflect our belief system of diversity and inclusion. Some legacy products and publications may continue to include terminology that seemingly evokes bias against specific groups of people. Such content is not representative of our HPE culture and moving forward, Aruba will replace racially insensitive terms and instead use the following new language:

Usage Old Language New Language
Campus Access Points + Controllers Master-Slave Conductor-Member
Instant Access Points Master-Slave Conductor-Member
Switch Stack Master Slave Conductor-Member
Wireless LAN Controller Mobility Master Mobility Conductor
Firewall Configuration Blacklist, Whitelist Denylist, Allowlist
Types of Hackers Black Hat, White Hat Unethical, Ethical
