Configuring a Wireless Rogue Access Point MAC Addresses threshold

To configure a new Wireless Rogue Access Point MAC Addresses threshold:

From the WhatsUp Gold web interface, go to Alert Center > Threshold Library. The Alert Center Threshold Library dialog appears.
Click New. The Select Threshold Type dialog appears.
Select Wireless Rogue Access Point MAC Addresses from the list, then click OK. The New Wireless Access Point MAC Addresses dialog appears.
Specify or select the appropriate information in the dialog boxes:
- Name. Specify a name for the threshold. This name helps you identify the threshold in the Threshold library and displays as the report title on the Alert Center Home page.
- Threshold. Enter any rogue MAC addresses separated by commas and select an interval time range. The default range is 30 minutes. The threshold will alert when any MAC addresses listed here broadcast SSID's in the given time interval.
- Devices to Monitor. Click Select to choose the devices to which the threshold applies. The Threshold Devices dialog appears. Specify to which devices the threshold applies by adding them or to which devices the threshold does not apply by excluding them using this dialog. Additionally, groups can also be added or excluded from the threshold using this dialog. Click OK.
- Notification. Select the notification policy to apply to this threshold. This policy begins sending notifications when an item is outside the configured threshold limits. If you do not see an appropriate threshold policy, or if the list is empty, click browse (...) to open the Notification Policy dialog and configure a new policy.
Note: Notification policies are optional for most thresholds. If you do not select a notification policy, no notifications are generated for the threshold, but a dashboard report listing the out of threshold items still appears on the Alert Center Home page.
- Threshold Check. Enter a value for the threshold check interval, or the interval at which the Alert Center checks the WhatsUp Gold database to see if there are items that are out of the threshold's parameters. The default check interval is every 5 minutes.
- Select Automatically resolve items no longer out of threshold to have Alert Center automatically resolve items when they go back inside the parameters of the threshold.
Click OK.
