Thecompnerd,
We appreciate the feedback regarding the WebUI. When developing the Mobility Access Switches, we found a majority of customers were focused more on the ability to configure things using the CLI (given their technical background) than a WebUI. I have actually had several customers ask me how to turn if off since they'll never use it regardless of the capabilities!
As you noted the Mobility Controllers have a very strong WebUI but that is a result of many years of development and unfortunately not a lot of it could be leveraged for the Mobility Access Switch given the differences in feature set. All of that said, we do want to improve the WebUI in future releases. We have made some incremental improvements most recently with the release of AOS 7.2.2.0, for example adding a "Diagnostic" tab and adding some more features in the "Maintenance" tab.
Another feedback we received from our customers and partners was with respect to using Airwave to manage the Mobility Access Switches. Airwave 7.7.0 is a result of that feedback which as Tim noted was released earlier this week. Our engineers have spent a great deal of time adding a lot of new configuration options as well as some monitoring features. Here are a few screenshots.
Brand New Configuration Tab
New Dropdowns on Monitor Page
If you are an Airwave user, we'd love to hear your thoughts on some of these new enhancements.
Again, we appreciate the feedback regarding the WebUI, I will definitely let our development team know.
Best regards,
Madani
