Omnivista Features

Omnivista is a powerful tool and easy-to-use network operations system that manages Alcatel-Lucent wireless,

wired, and remote access networks, as well as wired and wireless infrastructures from a wide range of third-party

manufacturers. With its easy-to-use interface, Omnivista provides real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, historical

reporting, and fast, efficient troubleshooting. It also offers tools that manage RF coverage, strengthen wireless

security, and demonstrate regulatory compliance.

The OAW-IAPs communicate with Omnivista using the using the HTTPS protocol. This allows an Omnivista server

to be deployed in the cloud across a NAT device, such as a router. This Omnivista features available in the AOS-W

Instant network are described in the following sections.

Image Management

Omnivista allows you to manage firmware updates on WLAN devices by defining a minimum acceptable firmware

version for each make and model of a device. It remotely distributes the firmware image to the WLAN devices that

require updates, and it schedules the firmware updates such that updating is completed without requiring you to

manually monitor the devices.

The following models can be used to upgrade the firmware:

l Automatic— In this model, the Virtual Controller periodically checks for newer updates from a configured URL and

automatically initiates upgrade of the network.

l Manual— In this model, the user can manually start a firmware upgrade for each Virtual Controller or set the

desired firmware preference per group of devices.

OAW-IAP and Client Monitoring

Omnivista allows you to find any OAW-IAP or client on the wireless network and to see real-time monitoring views.

These monitoring views can be used to aggregate critical information and high-end monitoring information.

In the OmniVista User Interface (UI), you can select either Manage Read/Write or Monitor-only+Firmware

Upgrades as management modes. When the Management level is set to Manage Read/Write, the AOS-W

Instant UI is in read-only mode. If OmniVista Management Level is set to Monitor-only+Firmware Upgrades

mode, the Instant UI changes to the read-write mode.

Template-based Configuration

Omnivista automatically creates a configuration template based on any of the existing OAW-IAPs, and it applies that

template across the network as shown in the following figure. It audits every device on an ongoing basis to ensure

that configurations never vary from the enterprise policies. It alerts you whenever a violation is detected and

automatically repairs the incorrectly configured devices.
