The District currently uses a cloud hosted Aruba Central to manage and monitor its wireless and wired infrastructure. Any proposed solutions should work seamlessly with the existing product and newly proposed product OR provide an alternative that is comparative in features. The District prefers to not have a split management platform, so any proposed solution should be able to manage and monitor all WAP’s within the District. Any proposed alternative solution should meet the following requirements listed below: ● Management of platform should be 100% web based ● Solution should be browser agnostic ● Proposed solutions end-user workstation should be OS agnostic. ● Ability to create new wireless networks (SSID’s) ● Monitor entire wireless network performance with the ability to drill down to the individual WAPS; notification of down and saturated WAPs ● See connected clients in total at a site and on an individual WAP ● Ability to identify troubles within the network (misconfigurations, radio issues, hardware issues, client health etc) and provide detail resolution suggestions or fix without any interaction with the operator where applicable ● Central Management Authentication via AD and LDAP ● Firmware upgrade and downgrade ● Be able to manage WAP’s across Layer 3 that may be placed in geographically diverse locations
