Enabling Management via Unleashed Multi-Site Manager

If you have a RUCKUS Unleashed Multi-Site Manager (UMM) server installed on the network, you can enable Unleashed Multi-Site Manager management to centralize monitoring and administration of your remote Unleashed deployments.

The Unleashed Multi-Site Manager allows customers to manage up to 300 Unleashed networks from a central location, enabling remote administration of multiple Unleashed deployments using a single admin user name and password.

The Unleashed Multi-Site Manager provides the following critical centralized network management functions:

  • Monitoring: Provides the ability to view the overall health status of all Unleashed networks, events and alarms, placement of APs on a world map, and connected client information from the dashboard.
  • Reporting: Detailed statistics reports are available including device inventories, client associations, resource monitoring, throughput capacity, etc.
  • Management: Enables several management activities from a central location, including scheduled software upgrades, backup and restore tasks, and the ability to create cookie-cutter configuration templates for deployment at multiple sites.

  1. Go to Admin & Services > Administer > Network Management, and click the Unleashed Multi-Site Manager Management tab.
  2. Under Unleashed Multi-Site Manager Management, select the Enable management by Unleashed Multi-Site Manager check box.
