Requirement:
- When WMS is terminated on the Master all the APs across the network communicates with WMS on the Master.
- Bandwidth is limited on WAN link between the BOC and Master controller.
- If WMS is on the Master, the WMS updates from Branch to Master controller utilizes more bandwidth.
- To optimize WAN link bandwidth utilization, WMS service can be terminated at BOC
Solution:•In 6.x, WMS service is terminated at Master only and every AP across the network communicates with WMS on the master.
•In 8.0.0.0, WMS service can be terminated at BOC instead of MM.
•This feature is designed mainly to optimize bandwidth usage between BOC and WMS, while still providing the WMS functionality that is needed.
•When wms is terminated at BOC, Security page can be viewed in BOC Dashboard. All other wms operations like export, import, etc are also available at BOC.
Configuration:Enable wms termination at BOC
Parameter ‘override-service-termination’ has to be enabled in ids wms-local-system-profile on device node:
CLI:
(Rajaguru-MM) [mynode] (config) #show configuration node-hierarchy
Default-node is "/md". Autopark is enabled.

By default, ‘override-service-termination’ parameter is disabled and WMS will be terminated on MM.
VerificationTo check whether WMS is terminated at BOC, login to BOC CLI (not the MM CLI) and issue the below show command.
(BOC-MD) #show ids wms-local-system-profile
