Chapter 3

Configuring a Dell PowerConnect W

Group in AMP

It is prudent to establish a Dell PowerConnect W Group within AMP. During the discovery process you will

move new discovered controllers into this group.

This chapter contains the following topics:

 “Basic Monitoring Configuration” on page13

 “Advanced Configuration” on page14

Basic Monitoring Configuration

1. Navigate to Groups > List.

2. Select Add.

3. Enter a Name that represents the Dell PowerConnect W-Series infrastructure from a security, geographical,

or departmental perspective and select Add.

4. You will be redirected to the Groups > Basic page for the Group you just created. On this page you will need

to tweak a few Dell PowerConnect W-specific settings.

5. Find the SNMP Polling Periods section of the page, as illustrated in Figure 5.

6. Change Override Polling Period for Other Services to Yes.

7. Ensure User Data Polling Period is set to 10 minutes. Do not configure this interval lower than 5 minutes.

8. Change Device-to-Device Link Polling Period to 30 minutes.

9. Change Rogue AP and Device Location Data Polling Period to 30 minutes.

Figure 5 SNMP Polling Periods section of Groups > Basic

10. Locate the Aruba/Dell PowerConnect W section of this page, as illustrated in Figure 6.

11. Configure the proper SNMP Version for monitoring the Dell PowerConnect W-Series infrastructure.

NOTE: Enabling the SNMP Rate Limiting for Monitored Devices option in the previous chapter adds a small delay between each

SNMP Get request, thus the actual polling interval is 12 minutes for 10 minute polling interval.
