Wireless Clients Bandwidth Threshold

To configure a new Wireless Client Bandwidth threshold:

1. Configure the following:
   • 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. Select and enter the desired threshold criteria variables and values. The threshold will alert when clients that are connected to the specified SSID(s) exceed their bandwidth quota for the specified traffic direction, in the given time range. The default criteria is 20 MB transmitted and received in a time range of 30 minutes.
   • Devices to Monitor. Click Select to choose the devices to which the threshold applies. The Threshold Devices dialog appears. The user has the option to 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.

   Tip: Notification policies are optional for most thresholds. Out of threshold items still appear on the Alert Center dashboard.

   • Threshold check. Enter a value for the threshold check interval, or the interval at which the Alert Center checks the Network Performance Monitor 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.
2. Click OK.
