Top 5 Anwendungsfälle für AirWave1.Kapazitätsplanung

– Proaktiv identifizieren der Radios / APs, welche die maximaleKapazität erreicht haben

2.Helpdesk und Fehlerbehebung– Vereinfachte Suche und detaillierte “Drill-Downs” für die

Client RF-Performance und Analyse

3.Alarmierung und Reporting– Hilft IT Administratoren herauszufinden, was im Netzwerk

passiert

4.RF Optimierung– Schnelle Identifizierung von RF Performance-Problemen,

Störquellen und RF Statistiken

5.Transparenz im Netzwerk– Proaktive Überwachung der Geräte,

Anwendungen, APs, Controller……….

Airwave Pro-active Insights using Clarity Synthetic

– Ability to simulate network traffic using synthetic clients

– Schedule tests or run tests on-demand

– Pro-active alerts to boil up trends– Built-in KPIs to track the health of the network

– New Dashboard for Clarity Synthetic– Ability to correlate synthetic results with other

network data on AirWave

– NBAPI to export test results to 3rd party collectors

– AirWave 8.2.3 and AOS 6.5 (2xx platform), 6.5.1 (3xx platform)– Synthetic will not be supported on 1xx platform– AirWave beta Q4/2016

Real Time Insights using Clarity Live

– Inline Monitoring for associated clients– Ability to monitor

– Association time– Authentication time– DHCP time– DNS time

– New dashboards for Live– Network and Client level Live views– Trends and patterns based on KPI/SLAs

– AOS 6.4.3 + AirWave 8.2

Association Metrics

– Time between association request and response

– Track reason codes– 90 reason codes in total (802.11 + Aruba)– For e.g. ClientMatch, STA blacklist, VOIP

CAC, AP busy, STA left, age out etc. – Reason for association failure categorized

into various buckets– Tracked on a per-client basis on the AP– Aggregated association information is shared

every 1 min

Association Req

Association Resp

12

Authentication Response Times & Failures

– Time between authentication request and a successful auth– Transactions vary based on auth

type– Auth types supported

– Open, MAC auth, PSK, Dot1x , Captive portal

– Tracked for new clients and roaming clients

– Tracked on a per-client basis on the controller

– Aggregated info is shared with the controller every 5 sec

4-way MSG 1 (ANonce)

MSG 2 (ANonce & SNonce)

MSG 3 Set PTK & GTK

MSG 4 (DONE)

13

DHCP Response Times and Failures

– Time between the DISCOVER and ACK – Includes DHCP RENEW

– Tracked on a per-client basis at the controller– Track NAK, DECLINE & RELEASE info as

well– Aggregated DHCP info is shared every 5 sec

14

DNS

– Time between the controller getting the query and receiving a response

– Measuring the DNS server response, but not the URL request info

– Tracked on a server basis on the controller (and not on a client basis)

– Aggregated info is shared every1 min– Max of 16 DNS servers tracked

Clarity Engine

• Simulates the client stack for AP & AM based synthetic• Acts as an endpoint for performance tests • Available as an ISO in phase 1• Support for bare metal will follow

• ZTP for installation • Manual, DHCP, DNS

• AirWave will act as the UI• No UI, CLI

• 3rd party consumers can leverage JSON data for visualization
