    Posted Aug 02, 2022 12:13 PM
    Dear Experts,

    I have installed Airwave 8.2.14.1 with trial license. Using VMC as standalone 8.9.0.3.

    1) I created a group called Aruba Controller with monitor only mode
    2) I add the device with ip address and correct snmp and telnet/ssh details
    3) On VMC, under mobility controller hirerachy, i connected to Airwave with correct snmp string
    4) Device connected and showed up. But there are 2 problems.

    1) I cannot change management mode from monitor to manage. Its greyed out
    2) Its not showing any configuration when i click on Aruba Controller > Controller config.

    Please advise

    When i try to do it from the list page, by clicking on edit, selecting the device and management level, then clicking on manage read/write, it gives below error

    The following devices do not support management mode: MC-1

    Management for AOS8 controllers is not supported in AirWave. For AOS8 architecture controller management is from MM.

    Dear Gowri, 

    But as per 8.2.14.2 supported devices, it supports management

    Secondly it should atleast show the current configuration when its already showing configuration is good?

    Hi,

    Irrespective of Airwave version, for AOS8, the controllers can be managed by MM only and there is no support for controller management in Airwave. AOS8 controllers can be monitored by Airwave.  However, configuration management for Instant APS with AOS8 is supported in Airwave.

    Airwave backups controller config nightly and the same will be see in the controller > config page.
    It does have option to show running config or create a backup now for the controller.

    Thanks Gowri, 

    But it will show monitoring stuff like uptime downtime, client details, ap details like in 6.x days?

    All of the monitoring will work in AOS8. Use AirWave as AMON receiver on the controllers, more data will show up including Clarity, AppRf etc along with controller, AP and client details

    This has to be set manually.
    Please refer to below guide and articles which explains the same in detail.

    https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/AirWave/82140/AirWave_8.2.14.0_Best_Practices_Guide.pdf
    https://community.arubanetworks.com/browse/articles/blogviewer?blogkey=954ed9ee-a480-4134-8374-eea63b0d054c

    Commands from the Airheads article may have changed from 6.x to 8.x but the concept is the same.
