Whats New in This Release

The following new feature was introduced in AirWave 7.3.4:

Per-User Session Timeouts

AMP now allows session idle timeouts to be set per user, rather than for all users on an AMP. In addition, users can set sessions to never expire based on a flag in their role. The following new features were introduced in AirWave 7.3.0:

Name Change
The AirWave Wireless Management Suite (AWMS) which consisted of AMP, VisualRF, and RAPIDS will now be called AirWave Management Platform as of 7.3. AMP, Failover, and Master Console will now be called AirWave collectively, for short.

64-bit OS Required
As of 7.3, AirWave requires a 64-bit operating system and does not install on a 32-bit OS. A 64-bit OS is included in a fresh installation of AirWave, but for upgrades, you should either upgrade from a 64-bit version of AirWave or migrate to a 64-bit version if your AirWave is installed on a 32-bit OS. In 7.2, network administrators were able to use the nightly backup from a 32-bit AMP to restore AMP on a 64-bit installation, rather than having to create a special backup file or use the special restore script. The 32-bit to 64-bit migration must be the same version of AirWave. See http://www.airwave.com/support/ knowledge-base/?sid=50140000000aOby for migration instructions.

VisualRF and RAPIDS Now Standard

VisualRF and RAPIDS are now standard part of the AirWave Management Platform and are no longer addon modules. By default, the navigation tabs are disabled in new AirWave installations. Administrators can enable them, along with Helpdesk, in the new AMP Features section of AMP Setup > General.

Syslog and Trap Collection

A new admin-only page, System > Syslog & Traps, has been added to display all syslog messages and SNMP traps that AMP receives. These device events are listed by time, type, source device, AP, severity, facility, category, and message (a searchable column). Most columns can be filtered except for Time, which can be sorted. Syslog messages also appear in the APs/Devices > Monitor page for controllers and in Users > User Detail pages under the Association History section.

0510822-26 | October 2011

A new trigger type called Device Event has been added in System > Triggers for alerting based on SNMP traps and syslog messages. The conditions supported are:

Event Contents (case insensitive substring matches on message content) Event Type (syslog or trap) Syslog Severity: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Bug, Error, Warning, Notice, or Info Syslog Category SNMP Trap Category: Hardware, IDS, Client Security, AP Security, AP Status, Software, or Rogue Detection

During the process of upgrading or installation for non-Master Console/Failover AMPs, the system now creates two default trigger definitions for Device Events:

SNMP Trap Category of Hardware or Software Event Type is Syslog and Syslog Severity >= Critical

Syslog expiration has also been added to nightly maintenance tasks.

Mobile Device Access Control

Aruba Mobile Device Access Control (MDAC) secures, provisions and manages network access for Apple iOS and other employee-owned mobile devices by enabling device fingerprinting, device registration, and increased device visibility. Refer to http://www.arubanetworks.com/technology/mobile-device-accesscontrol/ for more information on MDAC. The following new MDAC features have been added to AirWave:

New OS and OS Detail fields appear in the Users > All, Users > Connected, Users > User Detail, and in Search results for users A new Device Type column has also been added to the user lists and some relevant reports. In the Home > Search results for Users, new columns have been added: Name, Serial Number, Phone Number, Asset ID, and Notes. A new page called AMP Setup > Device Type Setup has been added for enabling, disabling, and reordering the seven new device classification rules that determine how to compute the values in the Device Type column. New fields have been added to the Users > User Detail page. The Automatically populate device information radio button has been removed -- instead, some fields can be enabled or disabled by a checkbox. The User Session Report can be customized with the new client properties.

Aruba Mobility Access Switch Support

AirWave 7.3 features basic monitoring support for wired users on the new Aruba Mobility Access Switch. The Aruba Mobility Access Switch is a multiport Ethernet mobility access switch that offers Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, and the capability to act as a wired access point (AP). Support for this device appears in the following areas of AirWave 7.3.0:

Added a Connected Users list to a switch's APs/Devices > Monitor > Interface list. It has the same columns as the Users list on Switch's monitoring page. Interface list: Added a Users column to both physical and virtual lists. AMP links Radio names in list tables to the Radio Statistics page, and links Interfaces on an AP to the APs/Devices > Monitor page or the APs/Devices > Monitor > Interface page for a switch.

AirWave 7.3.7 | Release Notes

CPU and Memory graphs have been added to the APs/Devices > Monitor page for the Aruba Mobility Access Switch. Users are now monitored on Mobility Access Switch ports which are tunneled back to controllers.

On Users > User Detail:

The Current Association table indicates either Interface or Radio depending on the user is currently connected to. This field link to the radio or interface for the associated device. The Association History section show both an AP Radio and Interface column, with only one populated depending on which type the association was on.

ArubaOS 6.1 Support

Support has been added for ArubaOS 6.1. When upgrading Aruba controllers to AOS 6.1, AirWave performs the double upgrade that is sometimes necessary. ArubaOS version 6.1 requires an extra upgrade so it can run an image capable of extracting the new image packaging scheme. Because of this, users upgrading from an earlier ArubaOS release need to load the new software image twice. You only have to load it twice the first time you upgrade to ArubaOS version 6.1 from a 3.3.x version and later. Added support for icmpv6 policy rules in AOS 6.1.0.0 (only available under IPv6 session rules.) New 6.1 traps have been added to the SNMP Profile in Alcatel-Lucent Configuration. Added 6.1 support for IDS profiles. In the Advanced Authentication Profile, added a new IPv6 Extended Header profile, and added support for the User Stats Timeout in AOS 6.1.0.0 as follows:

removed license restriction for User Idle Timeout post-6.1.0.0 Changed the name of AAA Timer to Advanced Authentication Profile in Group > Aruba Config

Added new IPv6 fields to AP Provisioning: New fields and values were added for the IPSEC and IKE fields in Aruba Configuration:

IPSEC Dynamic Maps now support PFS group19 and group20 and version 1 and 2. IKE Policies now support Suite-B for hash algorithm, authentication, and diffie- hellman group. They also support selecting a pseudo-random function and version.

Refer to the ArubaOS 6.1 User Guide for more information about this firmware version. To see whats new in this firmware version, see the ArubaOS 6.1 Release Notes.

Aruba AirMesh Support

Aruba AirMesh is a new outdoor product portfolio and solution focused on industrial, municipal and transportation deployments that heavily rely on high speed backhaul, quick convergence and high speed roaming. The Aruba mesh solution consists of two parts. The first part is a campus extension solution, AP175, works with controllers within 1- to 2-hop mesh networks and runs ArubaOS. The second part is the MSR2000, MSR4000 and MSR1200 autonomous APs running a new operating system called MeshOS; these are used for pure outdoor mesh networks where the number of hops is not limited to 1-2.

MeshOS 4.2 is the recommended firmware version for AirWave 7.3.

Basic Aruba AirMesh support has been added in AirWave 7.3, including:

Support for SNMP discovery Monitoring of device CPU and memory usage
3

AirWave 7.3.7 | Release Notes

Monitoring of radio statistics including transmit power, channel, noise, and 802.11 counters (except MSR4000) Support for firmware upgrades Monitoring users on all 4 radios of MSR4000

Two new columns, Mesh Portal and Mesh ID, have been added in APs/Devices > List and appear as fields in the APs/Devices > Monitor page for a device. These columns only appear if mesh devices are in the list. Support has been added for APs with more than two radios (such as Aruba AirMesh APs and Motorola/ Symbol 7131) throughout AirWave.

Session-based Authentication in AirWave

When an AirWave URL is accessed either interactively using a browser or programmatically using an API, a sent cookie may match a session stored in the database, granting authentication (but not necessarily access, depending on how the user's role matches the required role for the URL). If the cookie is not present or the session in the database has expired, the request is denied. For browser requests, this results in a new login form being displayed. When you submit the login form, the supplied credentials are checked against the AMPs user database, an external RADIUS server, or external TACACS+ server per the AMPs configuration. If the credentials are valid, the user's browser is sent a session cookie to use in subsequent requests. An API user may log out by sending an HTTP POST to /LOGOUT, and a browser user can use the new Log out link is provided on the AMP on the upper right hand side of every page. This invalidates the session in the database. AMP has a configurable log-in session expiration time. Each login session in the database has an expiration time which is set upon creation to now plus the AMP-wide log-in session expiration time. Interactive requests for URLs update the expiration time. If a session retrieved from the database has expired, it is considered invalid and is deleted. Non-interactive requests for URLs (APIs servicing automatically-refreshing UI widgets, for instance) do not update the log-in the session's expiration time.

Filtering on List Tables by Drop-Down Menu or Strings

On some list tables such as Users, Guest Users, APs/Devices, Reports and Search results, a new funnelshaped Filter icon is positioned next to the Sort icon over filterable columns (Device Type, Manufacturer, Role, AP/Device, Group, and so on). Select this icon to display a drop-down menu of all possible values for that column. Choose a value for immediate filtering of the list. To filter again within that list, select a funnel icon over another column. To undo a filter, select -All- from the drop-down menu or select the Reset filters link under the table. Some columns (Title in Reports, Message in Syslog & Traps) can be filtered by a substring entered in the Search field within the column.

Exact Match Searches

Exact-match, case-sensitive searches using single or double quotes are now supported for APs, Users, Folders, Groups, Rogues, and Tags. Searches without quotes are still case-insensitive.

Updated Radio Statistics Page

Various improvements were made to the Radio Statistics page for supported devices:

The link to the Radio Statistics page is no longer on the word Statistics, but on the radio type name itself. The Active Interfering Devices table has now been renamed Detected Interfering Devices.
AirWave 7.3.7 | Release Notes

Channel Utilization graphs have been moved from the APs/Devices > Monitor page to the Radio Statistics page. Previously, this graph had been an optional additional tab to the Users / Bandwidth graph set, which appeared only when Utilization data exists for the thin AP being reviewed. The graph tab still appears only if you've collected Channel Utilization data for that radio. Selecting an Interfering Device from the Radio Statistics page loads a list of Interfering Devices on that radio, filtered to show only interferers of the same Device Type of the device you selected. You can still see all interferers on that radio by setting the device type filter back to - All -. Running a CSV export of this list always shows all interfering device types for that radio.

Other enhancements

A Device Type filter has been added to all reports to allow them to limit devices (based on category) from being included in the report. Currently, the available types to filter on are:

Access Point (thin or autonomous) Controller Router/Switch Universal Network Device

The following improvements have been made to role-based access control (RBAC) in AMP:

A new privilege level, RAPIDS Admin, has been added. Only rapids admins may see RAPIDS Rules, Setup, Overrides, Audit Log, and Whitelist pages. Upon migration to AirWave 7.3, any existing RAPIDS: Read/Write users are promoted to RAPIDS: Administrator. The following pages have been restricted to admin users only: VisualRF> Setup, VisualRF > Audit Log, System > AMP Events, and System > Performance. Visibility of the following three pages is now role dependent: APs/Devices > New, APs/Devices > Ignored, and Device Setup > Discover. These pages are visible to management users only if their role has Allow authorization of APs/Devices set. Listing of generated reports (with visibility 'By Role') now respects report content visibility according to what the currently logged-in user's role can see.

SNMP debugging is now properly supported for pushing guest user creation and rogue classification to Aruba and Cisco WLC controllers. AMP now features device-specific rotating logs in /var/log/ap/[id]/telnet_cmds. Thin AP logs are moved to their controller_id log. A link to these logs appears on the APs/Devices > Audit page. The link to telnet logs has been removed from System > Status. A Message of the Day can be configured by administrators in the AMP Setup > Authentication page. The message itself displays in the new login page. In Groups > Basic, the SSH version field for AP Groups has been split into Symbol and IOS. Performance of Spectrum monitoring, introduced in 7.2, has been improved in 7.3.0. To allow greater scalability of Spectrum features, interfering device information is only updated if the interference of a previously logged device has worsened. A User Inventory Report has been added. It can be filtered either by Devices or by Users. The following changes have been added to the RF Health Report:

Least Utilized By Channel Usage is now shown after Most Utilized by Channel Usage Added units to Average Noise (dBm), Average Channel Utilization (%), Interference (%) and Channel Busy (%) columns.

The AirWave database has merged all data from the vpn_user table into the client_first_last table. APs/Devices > Interfaces is now visible but not editable to monitoring/audit users. The APs/Devices > Monitor > Interface list is also visible to monitoring/audit users.

AirWave 7.3.7 | Release Notes

APs/Devices > Monitor has split the Interfaces table into two lists: Radios and Wired Interfaces. The Avg Client count has been removed from Groups > Monitor, APs/Devices > List, the list of connected controllers, and the Folder search results. The label Client Count has been changed to Users in Folder search results. Upgraded Postgres to 9.0.2. The binary and data directories for Postgres have moved as follows: Previously: main: /opt/airwave/(bin/share/lib64) data: /var/lib/pgsql/data Now: main: /opt/airwave/pgsql-9.0/ (will change on every subsequent major revision upgrade), /opt/airwave/pgsql (symlink to the current real directory) data: /var/lib/pgsql/9.0/data (real), /var/lib/pgsql/current_version/data (symlink) Customers that have a custom setup on these directories (such as mounting them on a different drive) should confirm their optimizations still work for the new directory structure.

The link to legacy AMC files and the old AMC documentation has been removed from AirWave. The new AMP Features section of AMP Setup > General contains toggles to enable or disable the visibility of RAPIDS, VisualRF, and Helpdesk.

Changes
The following changes and improvements were implemented in AirWave:

Aruba Enhancements

A new Aruba License Report has been added in the Reports tab to track licenses on Aruba devices in your network. This report includes information on the type, quantity, percent used, installation date, expiration date, and the license keys. Added Open controller web UI... drop-down menu to the APs/Devices > Monitor and Users > User Detail pages for Aruba devices. The menu allows you to jump to certain pages on the controller UI and show different options based on context:

Thin APs link to Controller > Access Points when not operating in mesh mode, or Controller > Mesh Nodes otherwise. Controllers show several more pages (Security Dashboard, for instance) if the controller is AOS version 6.1 or greater.

When discovering Aruba thin APs, AirWave can check for the WLAN IP IPSEC Mode to determine if it is a remote AP. Added device support for Aruba AP-135.

Cisco Enhancements

Added support for Cisco Aironet 3500 Series. When polling CDP from a switch/controller, AMP now sets its downstream devices to point to it as the upstream device. Previously only polling the downstream device itself would set the downstream device's upstream device. Fixed an IOS issue where %manager_ip_address% could show up incorrectly in the template Fixed UI validation on IGMP Timeout Fixed an issue where configuring rogue containment on WLC could fail if rogues could not be immediately moved to the contained state
AirWave 7.3.7 | Release Notes

Fixed a CLI login related crash for IOS APs with bad enable password Fixed an issue where deleting a Cisco WLC controller with auto mobility turned on was not deleting its mobility group element

Motorola Devices
AirWave now properly handles the following RADIUS traps from second-generation Motorola controllers (models RFS4000, RFS7000, and WS5100):

wsTrapWirelessStationRadiusAuthFailed wsTrapRadiusServerStarted wsTrapRadiusServerStopped wsTrapMiscSwitchEvent RADIUS traps only)

AMP supports Motorola/Symbol firmware up to version 4.3.3.0.

Juniper Networks Devices

Added basic monitoring support (SNMP discovery, model detection, version/LAN MAC/serial fetching) for switches from Juniper Networks.

Trapeze Devices
Added support for Trapeze MP-522 thin AP and MX-800R controller.

Legacy Devices
Configuration and monitoring support for the following legacy devices have been removed in AirWave. They must be removed in order to upgrade.

3Com 8750 Colubris legacy autonomous APs Enterasys RoamAbout Access Point 2000 Enterasys RoamAbout Access Point R2 Intel 2011/2011b NEC Pasolink PTP bridge Proxim/Lucent AP-500/1000, WavePoint-II Siemens SCALANCE W788-2 Pro

Configuration support for the following devices has been removed in AirWave, but monitoring will remain:

Cisco 4800 (pre-VxWorks) Cisco VxWorks Enterasys RoamAbout Access Point 3000/4102 HP ProCurve 420 HP ProCurve 350 LANCOM/Hirschmann Nomadix - AG-2100w, AG-2100, AG-3000, AG-5000

AirWave 7.3.7 | Release Notes

RAPIDS

The RAPIDS > Overview and RAPIDS > IDS Events pages have improved scalability to be able to load very large numbers of records. RAPIDS notes are now included in Home > Search results.

VisualRF Visualization and Location Module

VisualRF provides the ability to provision these switches all models (S3500-24T, S3500-24P, S3500-48T, S3500-48P) and view port status within an IDF. VisualRF provides planning and real-time visualization for MST 200, MSR 1200. VisualRF 7.3 adds a new Mesh monitoring page specially for viewing Aruba AirMesh devices. It automatically renders Mesh APs based on GPS coordinates. 7.3 provides support for Aruba AP-134/135 as well as the ability to plan and real-time display data rates up to 450 Mbps. VisualRF 7.3 provides the ability to locate and display interfering devices with Aruba infrastructure running AOS 6.1 or greater. VisualRF 7.3 provides new menu system which improves navigation and reduces clutter by only showing options based on context. The new list added a new column for grid cell size to help quickly ferret out performance issues, and removed legacy timing columns. Microsoft released the production version of IE9 and is now fully supported in VisualRF 7.3. VisualRF 7.3 can auto plan access points unto a floor plan ensure the ability to optimally located client devices.

Security

Upgraded logwatch due to a vulnerability (remote root exploit). See http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA2011-0324.html Updated kernel packages to 2.6.18-238.19.1. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0927.html Updated kernel packages to 2.6.18-238.12.1. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0833.html Updated vsftpd package to 2.0.5-21.el5. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2011-0830.html Updated kernel packages to 2.6.18-238.9.1. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0429.html It is recommended to upgrade to AirWave 7.3 for the following resolved vulnerabilities that are present in AMP version 7.1 and earlier:

Qualys Risk level V4: SSL Server Allows Anonymous Authentication Vulnerability: /root/svn/thirdparty/ new-build/httpd/ssl.conf: SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT:!SSLv2:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW Qualys Risk level V1: Apache Web Server ETag Header Information Disclosure Weakness: Fixed in / checkins revision #57102: Set FileETag none in apache conf file Qualys Risk level V2: Specific CGI HTTP Redirection Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability: AirWave already restricts the URL to templates - so an unknown URI would cause a 'Page not found' error if authenticated. It would be also be useful to create Apache rewrite rules to handle unexpected URIs. Qualys Risk level P4: OpenSSH Signal Handling Vulnerability (already resolved in current version: openssh-4.3p2-41.el5) - CVE ID: CVE-2006-5051, CVE-2006-4924 - If this vulnerability is successfully exploited, it can crash the OpenSSH server and potentially allow execution of arbitrary code.

Resolved Issues
Table 1 below lists resolved issues in AirWave 7.3.7: Table 1 Resolved Issues in AirWave 7.3.7 ID
DE10516

Description
After upgrading to 7.3.6 from other 7.3 versions, maps images in VisualRF that were originally over 2048px wide no longer matched with the AP placement or walls, and regions took on different shapes. Now AMP restores the background.jpg in the upgrade backup file. Previously, the Network Usage Report on the Master Console did not show Max Users data in the line graphs. This has been fixed in 7.3.7.

DE10524

Table 2 below lists resolved issues in AirWave 7.3.6: Table 2 Resolved Issues in AirWave 7.3.6 ID
DE9253 DE9410 DE9746

Description
VisualRF: Fixed a problem in which heatmaps could not appear in VisualRF, and a deleted AP would not then appear in the Provisioning list to be added back. Fixed a problem that caused AP status to not be displayed after a device goes down and comes back up. Moved 'Idle Timeout' and 'Disable Timeout' settings from the User Information section to the Display Preferences section in Home > User Info so that these settings can be visible to all users. Previously, some users such as RADIUS authenticated remote users could not manage those settings. VisualRF: Fixed a problem in which overlays for APs and sensors were not displaying. Fixed an issue in which read-only users were able to edit data in the Clients > Client Detail page, which should only show the fields as static text. Fixed a problem with report generation on Master Consoles, which caused database problems when attempting to create a report with certain SSIDs, roles, or Classification type options. The default minimum time between the start of adjacent MPDUs within an aggregate MPDU is now 8 seconds, beginning in AOS version 3.3.2.18. Affected sections of Aruba Configuration are Profiles > SSID > HT SSID and Profiles > Mesh > Radio > Mesh HT SSID. Users who have disabled their session idle timeouts can now log in to 32-bit AMPs properly. Fixed an Aruba Configuration issue that caused unintentional Server Group Rules profile mismatches in Security > Server Groups. VisualRF now uses the read/write permissions set in AMP to determine if a user can perform write actions (planning APs, adding/removing APs, adding regions) in VisualRF. AMP now backs up and restores NTP settings as part of the regular AMP backup/restore process. Fixed a crash and memory overflow that could occur during nightly maintenance. The asynchronous logger client is now restarted once per week to avoid memory overflows. Upgraded logwatch due to a vulnerability (remote root exploit). See http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA2011-0324.html VisualRF: Aruba AP 134 and AP 135 now can be used in AP planning under Edit > Add Planned Device > Type: Sensors. For Aruba License report, there was a flaw where AMP would only include controllers that have AP count greater than the threshold specified in the report. But now AMP includes the controller if the AP count greater than or equal to the threshold. This also provides the ability to generate a Aruba License Inventory report by setting the threshold to 0.

DE9530 DE9591

Description
In the VisualRF wired IDF view, racks that have just been added can now be moved. Inactive round-robin database files (used to store client signal quality and bandwidth) are now properly purged when their corresponding client entry in the database is purged (according to the settings on AMP Setup > General > Data Retention. In prior releases, these files were not deleted and were needlessly consuming disk space. VisualRF and RAPIDS pages are now displayed on upgrade even if they are not enabled in the license key. Added support in VisualRF for Symbol 4131 APs transmitting at 13mW. Added support in VisualRF Alcatel-Lucent OAW-AP120/OAW-AP121. Increased the AP Data By MAC cache expiry to one day from 10 minutes. Under certain circumstances, devices on AMP may have expired from the cache before being re-inserted into it. When deleting devices, radios, or interfaces, AMP now also deletes their MAC addresses from the cache. In AirWave 7.2 and prior versions of 7.3, if an AP in VisualRF goes down and then comes back up, VisualRF continued to display the AP as down until VisualRF was restarted. The correct AP state is now displayed when a device comes back up. Upgraded PostgreSQL, the internal SQL database used by AirWave, to version 9.0.4. This version fixes problems related to the potential data retrieval issues present in AirWave 7.3.1 and 7.3.2

Description
QuickView: Heatmap overlay was displayed when 'utilization' checkbox is selected. Now the Channel Utilization checkbox and the Type dropdown menu updates the overlay. XML API: Updated client_detail.xml API documentation to include the new <lan_elements> and <vpn_elements> nodes in the example provided. Cisco: Fixed LWAPP controller address mismatches that occurred after an AMP 7.3.1 upgrade by expanding desired config addresses to empty strings if they are 0.0.0.0. Previously, upgrading from AMP version 7.2.5 to 7.3.1 was failing with a database migration error, which has now been fixed. Also added a new log for troubleshooting database issues at /var/log/ check_awrrd_cache. VisualRF: Cookie-based authentication introduced in 7.3 did not work correctly with Google Earth's login page, so now 7.3.4 allows Google Earth access via Basic Authentication. Fixed an issue in which APs were not importing from Aruba controllers through RF Plan. RAPIDS: Fixed a backend crash processing AMC discovery events that correspond to managed APs. Fixed a crash during (non-AirMesh) mesh monitoring. Previously, when AMP was changing a device's uplink AP, AMP failed to delete the old link when the downlink device did not correspond to an AP on the AMP. Note that this crash would not occur in earlier versions of AMP because the unique constraints were dropped from the database.

Description
RHEL 5 kernel update (RHSA-2011:0927-1) for security fixes. Please see the updated Security section of these release notes for the URL. Fixed the monitoring of MAC addresses of Aruba AirMesh APs. AMP now allows session idle timeouts to be set per user, rather than for all users on an AMP. In addition, users can set sessions to never expire based on a flag in their role.

DE8577 DE9323 DE9400 DE9469

Description
Fixed an issue in which read-only users could perform update commands in VisualRF. The Mesh menu link no longer requires a VisualRF restart to become visible. Only Aruba AirMesh APs will now show parenthesized radio indices on Client lists, Client detail, and Radio statistics pages. In /client_detail.xml API documentation page, added <lan_elements> and <vpn_elements> examples to replace the existing <ip> and <*_hostname> tags.

Table 6 below lists resolved issues in AirWave 7.3.1: Table 6 Resolved Issues in AirWave 7.3.1 ID
DE9048 DE9153 DE9287

Description
Fixed an issue that caused mesh link details to appear inconsistently in VisualRF. VisualRF: In IDF, the lock icon says Editing locked when it is actually locked. VisualRF now uses the latitude and longitude fields in APs/Devices > Manage to place Mesh APs in fixed locations in the Mesh network view. If these fields in APs/Devices > Manage are blank, the Mesh AP icons in VisualRF can be moved. Previously, switch port bandwidth was tracked using 32-bit counters, which can roll over between polling intervals when a large volume of traffic passes through the port. This sometimes caused inaccurate port bandwidth to be reported. Now, AMP tracks switch port bandwidth using 64-bit counters where possible. Fixed an issue in which downed radios would not come back online in VisualRF until a restart causing heatmaps and data rates not to display and location to be less accurate. AMP will now try to correlate device events to APs for up to an hour after deleting the AP. Filtering syslog on '-' will now retrieve rows with deleted ap/source device IDs. The Aruba Mobility Switch is no longer showing gaps in the Bandwidth interactive graphs. Significant speedups to the ArubaOS configuration changing and importing processes. Fixed characters that were not displaying completely in the Uplink and Downlink titles in the Mesh Link pop-up window. VisualRF > Import: The note on 'Batch Import Floor Plans' no longer mentions any browser limitations. For LWAPP APs, AMP now notices if transmit power units are given in mW and converts them to dBm.

Description
Fixed the CSV export in the Session Data by User table of the User Session Report for the following columns: AMPs, MAC Address, and Connection Modes. In Users > Connected list table, wired users are now indicated with a hyphen (-) in the Signal Quality column. Previously, it displayed a 0. In order to improve Aruba Mobility Switch and Juniper switch support, polling Q-Bridge MIB for MACs now uses dot1dBasePortIfIndex to translate the port number given by dot1qTpFdbPort into the actual ifIndex. Previously, AMP assumed the dot1qTpFdbPort was already an ifIndex. Now if AMP cannot translate the port number using dot1dBasePortIfIndex, then AMP assumes the port number to be the ifIndex. Added a new capacity calculation to the Aruba License Report. Previously this calculation was wrong since AMP did not distinguish between campus APs and total APs. Added two new columns to the Aruba License report, Hardware Max APS and Hardware Max Campus APs. Changed the display of the two capacity columns; now it should be more clear what the percentage calculation is based on. Capacities are now calculated per-license type rather than per-controller. The CDP Neighbors list table in APs/Devices > Monitor now only displays links if the logged-in user has visibility to the linked APs. Fixed a net-snmp memory leak with a backported patch. Changed the default data retention of syslog from 7 days to 2 to fix an issue with slow-loading filter menus. Under certain conditions, the postgres upgrade process was not waiting for the server to be ready to take requests. This has been fixed. In APs/Devices > Mismatched, AMP now shows the proper count of mismatched devices, taking into account whether those devices are in groups with auditing disabled. VisualRF: Channel Utilization or Interfering Device Data is only processed for APs that have not been ignored and are authorized. AMP list tables with All Records selected in the pagination options will have a 2,000-rows-per-page limit. Updated kernel packages to 2.6.18-238.12.1.See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0833.html VisualRF: The default value for Client Transmit Power is now 30mW rather than 100mW. Wired user bandwidth is now properly incorporated in the Network Usage report in interface bandwidth section.

Description
If any other AP in your group is importing configuration, AMP will not show the 'Import' button or the 'Import unreferenced profiles' checkbox. Instead, AMP displays the message 'Another device in this group is currently importing.'If none of the APs in your group have management state of 'Importing', AMP shows the 'Import' button and potentially the 'Import unreferenced profiles' checkbox. Resolved Qualys vulnerabilities (see Security section for more information)

Description
The following APs/Devices > List columns can now be filtered: Aruba AP Group Detailed Status Group Mesh ID Mesh Portal Radio Radio Antenna Radio Ch. Radio TX Power Remote Device Status For the Detailed Status column, the filter dropdown options will not include extra hints. Extra hints are strings of '-- <troubleshoot hint goes here>' that are appended to the end of the detailed status. When filtering on Detailed Status, AMP will display all records that correspond to the filter option, regardless of what their extra hints are. For example, filtering on 'SNMP get failed' may yield the following fields: - SNMP get failed -- Connection error - SNMP get failed -- Upstream Device Aruba-F3:04:A0 is Down - SNMP get failed -- Upstream Device hq-master-controller is Down Fixed uninitialized warning errors in the User agent string parser for certain Android user agent strings. AMP now avoids fetching secondary channel and channel width on Motorola thin APs which do not support it (i.e those which aren't 802.11n). Fixed an issue that caused problems in the monitoring of users on a controllers thin APs that are currently being created.

Description
Fixed an error that can lead to corrupted cache files, which meant the interactive graphs were not updating until the cache files were manually purged. A new subtab named Interface Monitoring opens when you select a physical or virtual interface from the Interfaces list, client lists, and client detail fields. AirWave 7.3b2 includes some trigger performance enhancements (mainly for the interface bandwidth trigger): AMP's interface bandwidth monitor fetches out all relevant interface tags and folder IDs in bulk, and then caches in the triggers so they don't have to duplicate effort some minor speed improvements for database various speedups and scalability improvements for trigger condition evaluation The Device Type used to sometimes show 'Win 7', but now AMP shows it as 'Windows 7' consistently, instead of 'Win 7' in some cases and 'Windows 7' in others. AMP no longer permits SSL ciphers that allow anonymous authentication.

Description
VisualRF: Non admin users can view floor plans created by admin user VisualRF: Google Earth 'clamped to ground' setting works again VisualRF: Campus/building info missing for new admin role user VisualRF: IDF Search now clears previous search from showing current and cached searches VisualRF: Antenna gain can be obtained from AMP/controller for architectures which support this model. VisualRF: Floor height was represented in feet instead of meters when metric is enabled; this has been fixed. The purging of unused SSIDs now globally deletes SSIDs that have expired across all APs, groups, and folders (rather than deleting them more individually per AP). Removed RAPIDS discovery event rate information from the System > Performance page. That information had not actually been tracked in a few years. The Trigger type previously called Radio Utilization is now called Channel Utilization. Users that roam from one radio to another no longer create bar-shaped valleys in the interactive graphs. Now they correctly display a continuous connection line for roaming clients. This only applies to the Users on AP graph on the APs/Devices > Monitor page. The Active Interfering Devices table in the Radio Statistics page has now been renamed Detected Interfering Devices. Password hiding characters now show a consistent length of 10 characters to obscure the length of the password. AMP has improved Aruba thin ap configuration fetching by adding more methods referencing thin APs over the AOS CLI. AMP will now try the BSSID, the apparent IP, the desired IP, the actual name of the AP, and desired name, in that order. VisualRF: You can now export all floors when a campus has more than one building Aruba Instant no longer creates duplicate folder names and properly takes folder ancestry into account. Globally turning off RAPIDS via AMP Setup > General or turning off RAPIDS for a particular role via AMP Setup > Roles now turns off the rogue header, either globally or just for a given role: creating rogue-related triggers creating rogue-related reports the rogue devices count in the header links Turning off a role's ability to authorize APs via AMP Setup > Roles now turns off these new device elements in AMP: creating new-device triggers the New Devices count in the header links Previously, the New Devices statistics link at the top of the page would appear even for a user with Allow Authorize APs set to No, and clicking on the header would show an Access Denied error. Trapeze device discovery has been improved and mismatching has been reduced by merging Trapeze sub-models into the base model type. When discovering APs, AMP ignores letters at the end of the type string, but stores the full model string for added devices. Configuration verification in AMP now works properly as it no longer assumes that thin AP device IDs are a higher number than their associated controller IDs. Interactive graphs with tabs, such as those on the Radio Statistics page, should no longer have their last legend item cut off. Clarified the interface instructions in Aruba AP Group configuration so that the user is told to choose the AP group from the controller's AMP group, not the AMP group that the AP is being authorized into. Renamed Top Users by Bandwidth to Top Users by Total Traffic in the Dashboard widgets.

Description
Previously, APs with one radio or one-or many wired interfaces (such as the Aruba RAP-5) did not display data properly on APs/Devices > Monitor or Radio Statistics interactive graphs. The changes in 7.3b1 are as follows: On an AP's monitoring page, there is now a line on the bandwidth and client count graphs for each of the AP's interfaces (wireless + wired interfaces). On an AP's radio's monitoring page, AMP shows only that particular radio's line on the Bandwidth graphs. Historical graphs now also support devices with more than two radios and feature one column for each radio and one column at the end for wired. Device Summary Reports and User Session Reports were previously displaying different interpretations of average bandwidth data. In 7.3b1, the data between the two reports is now more accurate and consistent, but it must be noted that the two reports calculate average bandwidth for different durations of time -- the Device Summary Report measures data pushed by the client during the report's start and end dates, and the User Session Report divides the same data amount by client connection time. Search results for rogue devices do not appear if RAPIDS is not enabled for an AMP. Trapeze rogue monitoring now reports signal instead of RSSI so that VisualRF can display neighbor links for Trapeze APs. A hint was added to the Domain Name field in Aruba Config > AP Provisioning that states the required AOS version numbers to use this field. Removed the Wired Interfaces section from the APs/Devices > Monitor page for Aruba Instant IAPs. While they do have wired interfaces, the Virtual Controllers do not report on them. Firmware fetching for Motorola WS5000 devices now works properly. The New User Association alert email now has link to the Users > User Detail page for a client. AMP can now retrieve the serial number for the following Motorola devices: - WS2000 controller and thin APs - Generation two controllers and thin APs (minimum firmware of 3.0) - Generation two controllers only (firmware earlier than 3.0) - Motorola autonomous APs The capability for AMP to reboot an Aruba Instant virtual controller is currently in development. Until it is completed, in the APs/Devices > Manage page, the reboot button will be temporarily hidden for Aruba Instant virtual controllers. The Device Bandwidth trigger has been renamed AP Bandwidth, and the condition section has been removed because only one valid device type is supported. When an unexpected LAN MAC address is seen in a device's IP address, its APs/Devices > Manage page will show the message Click Replace Hardware (preferred) or Reset MAC Address to reset the LAN MAC address if this device has been replaced with new hardware at the top of the page. Aruba recommends always using the Replace Hardware button at the bottom of that page in order to avoid this message. The undefined value error in Async Logger Client for device user count triggers has been corrected. Non-blocking SNMP sessions such as APWatcher and Motorola controller monitoring are now cached on AMP. This fixes a number of errors such as Cisco WLC controllers not coming back up when rebooted. Fixed an issue for IE9 users that caused drag and drop pages in AirWave (such as Dashboard customization) to not work properly. The MDM columns in Users > All and Users > Connected are now hidden by default, but they can be made visible by using the Choose Columns link at the top of the list table. In the Group > Cisco WLC Config > Controller > Mobility Management > Mobility Groups, the old mobility group element is deleted if the Replace Hardware button is used in APs/Devices > Manage page for a down Cisco WLC controller. This will now properly update the new device's MAC address. Cisco WLCs which try to set a rogue to contained and get a Failure error will try to set the rogue to Pending as a fall-back setting.

Description
Previously, the Audit button appears on Groups > List for groups with audit disabled. Now, if a group has audit disabled for its devices, AMP doesn't show the Audit button in the Modify devices list. To prevent performance issues, the All records pagination option has been removed from Syslog lists on all AMP pages including APs/Devices > Monitor, Users > User Detail, and System > Syslog pages. Column headings in device lists (including relevant reports) are now abbreviated to make better use of the UI real estate. AMP now checks the backup file for gzip integrity after mirroring from the watched amp and also before restoring it while failing over. AMP also returns a relevant status message when LWP UserAgent mirror fails because of truncated transfer or any other reason. Enhance LWAPP managed-certificate rebuild logging to show when the rebuild is happening, and added a qlog to indicate how fast it is progressing. When rebuilding LWAPP Managed Certificates, AMP will initially attempt to acquire non-blocking access exclusive lock until the specified timeout (5 mins). After, it will attempt to lock in blockingaccess-exclusive mode to complete the transaction. Previously, when selecting Reject as the action in policy, the option Send deny response is then displayed with two radio buttons: Yes and No. In AirWave, the Yes option is selected by default. On the controller, No is the default which equals a Drop action. In 7.3b1, AirWave has been changed to match the controller UI default. AMP now intelligently ignores machine auth entries in the local user database, but only if all of the following are true: its username is a MAC address, it has an expiration, and there exists an AAA 802.1X Auth prof with machine auth enabled and a default machine auth role that matches this user's role. Under typical circumstances, this should ignore machine auth entries but not ignore MAC auth local user database entries. All Apache errors are now logged to httpd/error_log and not to httpd/ssl_error_log. Sped up Master Console alerts by only allowing one request to the alerts XML per Managed AMP. This prevents concurrent requests from stacking up if alerts took longer to process than the Managed AMP polling period. Fixed sorting on the Bandwidth column to prevent page crashes on Users > Connected lists. In all lists in the Users tab, the column label MB Used has been changed to Total Data. Duplicate Aruba configuration profiles were caused by importing more than once. AMP now prevents duplicate profiles with the same name from being created when in global configuration mode by using a conditional unique constraint for profile names. Additionally, AMP upgrade does not proceed if duplicate rows are found for any Aruba configuration profile while in global configuration mode. If you see this message, contact Support for assistance in dealing with the duplicate profiles. Fixed an issue that caused uninitialized-value errors in APs/Devices > Monitor when generating Quick Links for an AP with an undefined mesh mode. When AMP receives a timeout error after using the copy tftp command when pushing a configuration to a Motorola WS5100 or RFS controller, AMP now stops and logs a useful message, instead of continuing and copying the startup-config to the running-config. Previously, auditing or importing the settings for a Cisco IOS switch with comments were completing prematurely in AMP. Now, AMP looks for the first components of the hostname followed by non-whitespace characters, then by > or # and no longer prematurely stops on a pound sign in a comment.

Description
VisualRF: When a user attempts to import an unsupported floor plan file format, the error message that appears does not explain that it was an unsupported format. Instead, the error message says "When this link <Validate> is available, the import is complete and ready for validation." Unable to launch Google Earth for Mesh APs in Internet Explorer 7 and 8. VisualRF: If you export a floor plan with Planned APs or AMs from an Aruba controller and import it to VisualRF, the import fails to get the radio properties for the device. This can be demonstrated by leftclicking an imported device and viewing the Properties dialog, which will not show any radio properties at the bottom of the menu. This is generally a rare occurrence. When attempting to restore a VisualRF backup on the same AMP or another AMP of the same version, an error message that says "Upload failed: VisualRF communication error" may appear. However, all the data except for the network background is restored. VisualRF: Since AirWave 7.2.3, the network background image may be lost when restoring a backup from a freshly installed 7.3 AMP to the same AMP, or another on the same version. Campus x,y locations may also be lost. A workaround is to upload the original image again, the campuses will return to the proper x,y location. If you experience problems with the network background image or x,y locations outside of these specific conditions, please contact AirWave support at support@airwave.com.

Description
Juniper switch virtual interfaces are sometimes being listed in the Physical Interface table on the APs/ Devices > Interface Monitoring page. Quickly toggling lines (neighbor, rogue, client, ) on/off can cause VisualRF to lose its current state and show lines when the toggle is off, and vice-versa. The Username field in Users > Guest Users was intended to be a string-filtered column, but can currently only be sorted. Search on this field will be in a future release of AMP. If an AMP has regular wired users and polls for tunneled users (or vice-versa), the wired clients may be deleted and recreated next time the AMP polls for them. In the Mesh View, multiple pop-ups can be active at once. SOTI device name population does not work properly. Some landscape PDF files may upload in portrait mode. The workaround is to save file as another image type before uploading into VisualRF. Client VLAN for Users on Aruba devices tracked incorrectly. Even if RAPIDS has been disabled for an AMP, Custom Report still displays RAPIDS and IDS widgets. If an AMP upgrade is in progress during nightly maintenance, the maintenance process attempts to wait out the upgrade, and can fail without properly logging details about the problem. Setting refresh to 1 minute and leaving the browser open for an extended period of time can cause the error message to appear Flash script causing browser to hang. Workarounds are to increase refresh rate or close and re-open browser.

Description
VisualRF: Wrong units are displayed for BW in Client & AP left-click popup window. On the Search results page and in the Device Info section of APs/Devices > Monitor, long notes in the Notes field/column can make the page very wide and can slow down page display. AMP developers are considering limiting the text input field to 4000 characters, or limiting the text display to the first 40 characters. VisualRF: User and Bandwidth are displayed only after VisualRF is restarted. In APs/Devices > List, some of the columns (Controller, Aruba AP Group, 1st Radio, 2nd Radio) that have hyphens in some values are not sorting consistently. Importing Aruba configuration from a controller can cause page crashes if multiple browser tabs are open. AMP is updating the last session username incorrectly in Users > User Detail page. Apache sessions are marked with an expires_epoch right after they are created, so there should never be a session without this field. Defective sessions were apparently causing the undefined value warnings. As a temporary fix, these defective sessions are deleted with a warning, Apache Session (id=#####) has no expires_epoch, in the http error log. Filtering on the User column on Reports > Generated page yields an error in httpd/error_log. The bandwidth counters on some LAN switches are showing incorrect values. When the bandwidth is greater than 30 - 40MB, the numbers roll over as the counter is not large enough to support them. Popup error appearing under certain conditions when defining a report in Internet Explorer 7 and 8. QuickView: There is no overlay displayed for Mesh points added to the Floor plan. New users added to AMP can't see IDF components until VisualRF restarts. VisualRF: Mesh Link does not show up until VisualRF is restarted (see note above). The Transmit Power value for the Aruba RAP-5WN is not being supplied to AMP. In the API, a server error response may occur if you attempt a request for an AP id without a valid integer used in the auto-assigned ids. Rogue details page is displaying an Access Denied message for non-admin users. APs/Devices > Monitor page for the Aruba 6000 controller is crashing when it is added as a master controller to AMP. The bandwidth values of tunneled users on the Aruba Mobility Switch are not being added to aggregate graphs for a folder or group. The VisualRF > Audit log has the new filtering ability for columns, but does not yet have a Reset Filters link. The AMP group_restore script does not work properly in 7.3.0. This script is used copy and restore group data backups from one server to another, and is used by customers who split AP data into multiple AMP servers. This will be repaired in a 7.3.x maintenance release. AMP does not yet support Motorola firmware later than version 4.3.3.0.
