Firmware Upgrade Defaults
Locate the
Firmware Upgrade Defaults
section and adjust settings as required. This section allows you to configure
the default firmware upgrade behavior for AirWave.
Table 11
describes the settings and default values of this section.
Setting
Default
Description
Allow firmware
upgrades in monitor-
only mode
No
If
Yes
is selected, AirWave upgrades the firmware for APs in
Monitor Only
mode.
When AirWave upgrades the firmware in this mode, the desired configuration are not
be pushed to AirWave. Only the firmware is applied. The firmware upgrade may result
in configuration changes. AirWave does not correct those changes when the AP is in
Monitor Only
mode.
Maximum Interleaved
Jobs (1-20)
20
Defines the number of jobs AirWave runs at the same time. A job can include multiple
APs. When jobs are started by multiple users, AirWave will interleave upgrades so that
one user's job does not completely block another’s.
Maximum Interleaved
Devices Per Job (1-
1000)
20
Defines the number of devices that can be in the process of upgrading at the same
time. Within a single job, AirWave may start the upgrade process for up to this number
of devices at the same time. However, only one device will be actively downloading a
firmware file at any given time.
Failures before
stopping (0-20, zero
disables)
1
Sets the default number of upgrade failures before AirWave pauses the upgrade
process. User intervention is required to resume the upgrade process. Setting this
value to
0
disables this function.

Description
Enable FTP Server
No
Enables or disables the FTP server on AMP. The FTP server is only used to manage
Aruba AirMesh and Cisco Aironet 4800 APs. Best practice is to disable the FTP server if
you do not have any supported devices in the network.
Enable RTLS
Collector
No
Enables or disables the RTLS Collector, which is used to allow ArubaOScontrollers to
send signed and encrypted RTLS (real time locating system) packets to VisualRF-- in
other words, AirWave becomes the acting RTLS server. The RTLS server IP address
must be configured on each controller. This function is used for VisualRF to improve
location accuracy and to locate chirping asset tags. This function is supported only for
Dell PowerConnect W-Series, Alcatel-Lucent, and Aruba Networks devices.
If
Yes
is specified, the following additional fields appear. These configuration settings
should match the settings configured on the controller:
l
RTLS Port
—Specify the port for the AirWave RTLS server.
l
RTLS Username
—Enter the user name used by the controller to decode RTLS
messages.
l
RTLS Password
—Enter the RTLS server password that matches the controllers’
value.
l
Confirm RTLS Password
—Re-enter the RTLS server password.
Use embedded mail
server
Yes
Enables or disables the embedded mail server that is included with AirWave. If
