Only global configuration is supported; AWMS can work in a master-local or an all-master configuration.
Configuration changes are pushed to the controller via SSH with no reboot required.
All settings for Profiles, Aruba AP Groups, Servers and Roles are supported, as is the AOS WLAN Wizard
(basic view). Controller IP addresses, VLANs and interfaces are not supported, nor are Advanced
