When to introduce IMCManaging a mixed vendor environment

“I’m locked into Cisco how can I manage my network if I add a second vendor?”– Comprehensive support for Cisco

– Single Management solution for mixed HPE Aruba / Cisco network– Use IMC to replace Prime in Cisco accounts and open the door to HPE Aruba Switching

– Some Aruba customers may be using AirWave for wireless and Cisco Prime for wired today

– Supports Gartner’s “Dual Vendor” strategy– Includes IMC Platform, WSM*, QoSM*

– Extensive 3rd party support– User / partner extensible

IMC Focus to support Mobile First (Wireless andCampus)– Comprehensive IMC Platform support for Aruba OS switches and Controllers

– WSM support for Aruba Wireless– Allow existing UWW customers to start adopting Aruba Wireless and continue to manage via IMC/WSM

– SNMP based management of Wireless Controllers & IAPs– Features like AppRF, Client health etc would requiredAirWave or Controller UI

– IMC Platform integration with AirWave– IMC gets the wireless context from AirWave to enable edge to DC infrastructure management & trouble shooting– Customers don’t pay for wireless management twice

– IMC Platform will provide AW Integration without the need to WSM– APs will not count as platform nodes

– Cross launch to AirWave and use AirWave APIs to retrieve Wireless context for Platform

– IMC Platform integration with ClearPass– Keep the benefits of User Context in the platform and simplify Access Deployment

– IMC Platform will get user context from ClearPass

IMC / AirWave integration– Phase 1 – IMC 7.2

– AirWave Launch from Resources -> AirWave menu

– Phase 2 – May Patch– Context sensitive launch from WSM to AW

– Controller– APs– Clients

– AW context sensitive launch of IMC – AirWave 8.2– Switch

– Phase 3 – IMC 7.3– Context sensitive integration without WSM

IMC / AirWave integration – phase 3 – without WSM

– WLAN Manager becomes AirWave WLAN Mgmt

– If WSM is not present

– New Menu Structure

– AirWave Console – Home Overview

– Wireless Topology– Visual RF– Converged topology

– – Link to IMCs the converged topology view

– APs/Devices

– Clients

– AppRF

– UCC

– RF Performance

– RF Capacity

– Rapids

Converged Topology

Wireless infrastructure

IMC / ClearPass integration

– User Context with IMC without UAM.– How many users are logged into a switch– NTA – user context of who is logged into IP address– UBA – user context

Initial Arista support in imc V7.3

– initial Arista support will be L1 support – Discovery – Topology – Performance monitoring – Network assets

– Phase 2 Arista support (Target 1HC17) will include – Full ICC support (eliminating the need for the custom device adapter) – VLAN Manager support – ACL Manager support

Positioning imc and Airwave on thecustomer site

35

Steps That “I” Use………….

– Ask the question, what do you use for monitoring and “management” today?

– Did he want manage wired and wireless network?– Talk about some of the high level features of IMC and the benefits of Airwave

– Offer a free 60 day demo in which case you will show them around the software, ask the customer to do the install

– Don’t forget to leverage the YouTube Channel!– Imc: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheIMCManagement– Airwave: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsYGHuNuBZcZ-aiFtqptePrdkq5Di8-hx
