General Overrides

To review a profile‘s original configuration requirements and the options available for a target device, refer to General Profile Configuration.

To define a device‘s general profile override configuration:

1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices from the Configuration tab.

   The Device Configuration screen displays a list of managed devices or peer controllers. The listed devices can be other controllers or access points.

3. Select a device (by double-clicking it) from amongst those displayed within the Device Configuration screen.

   Devices can also be selected directly from the Device Browser in the lower, left-hand side of the UI.

4. Select Profile Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
5. Select General if it does not display by default.

   

   

   Note

   A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having an override applied. To remove an override go to the Basic Configuration section of the device and click the Clear Overrides button. This removes all overrides from the device.
6. Select the IP Routing option (within the Settings field) to enable routing for the device.
7. Set a NoC Update Interval of 0, or from 5-300 seconds for updates from the RF Domain manager to the controller.
8. Select + Add Row below the Network Time Protocol (NTP) table to define (or override) the configurations of NTP server resources the controller uses it obtain its system time. Set the following parameters to define the NTP configuration:

   Server IP	Set the IP address of each server as a potential NTP resource.
   Key Number	Select the number of the associated Authentication Key for the NTP resource.
   Key	If an autokey is not being used, manually enter a 64 character maximum key the controller or service platform and NTP resource share to securely interoperate.
   Prefered	Select the radio button to designate this particular NTP resource as preferred. If using multiple NTP resources, preferred resources are given first opportunity to connect to the controller and provide NTP calibration.
   AutoKey	Select the radio button to enable an Autokey configuration for the controller and NTP resource. The default setting is disabled.
   Version	Use the spinner control to specify the version number used by this NTP server resource. The default setting is 0.

9. Refer to the RAID Alarm field to either enable or disable the chassis alarm that sounds when events are detected that degrade RAID support (drive content mirroring) on a NX 9000series service platform.

   RAID controller drive arrays are available within NX 9000 series service platforms (NX 9000, NX 9500 and NX 9510 models) only. However, they can be administrated on behalf of a NX 9000 profile by a different model service platform or controller.

   NX 9000 series service platforms include a single Intel MegaRAID controller (virtual drive) with RAID-1 mirroring support enabled. The online virtual drive supports up to two physical drives that could require hot spare substitution if a drive were to fail. With the WiNG 5.5 release, an administrator can manage the RAID controller event alarm and syslogs supporting the array hardware from the service platform user interface and is not required to reboot the service platform BIOS.

10. Select OK to save the changes and overrides made to the general profile configuration. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
