Track occurrence or frequency of unrecognized SSIDs to wireless clients.
See access point masquerading and SSID collisions between new and obsoleted access points, IoT devices using private networks, and more.
Managing Rogue Unknown SSID Thresholds:
From the Thresholds Library in the WhatsUp Gold Alert Center Libraries view, you can perform the following Rogue Unknown SSID Threshold operations.
Add. Create a new Rogue Unknown SSID Threshold.
Configure a Wireless Rogue Unknown SSID threshold:
This threshold alerts when any new or previously unseen SSIDs are detected in the specified time range (Duration). The default range is 30 minutes.
Automatically resolve items no longer out of threshold. Select this option if you want Alert Center to automatically resolve items when they return to the value within the threshold limit.
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.
Add Condition Rules:
Exclude Devices. Select to build or apply an exclusion list.
Note: Configure the threshold check interval for a longer time than the sampling interval for thresholds relating to trends, such as percent utilization. Configure it for a time the same as (or similar to) the sampling interval when configuring a threshold for a health check.
Tip: Avoid setting the threshold check interval to a very short time. Aggressive intervals can degrade system performance. In general, setting the threshold check interval to less than five minutes is not advised.
Edit. Adjust, tune, and configure an existing Rogue Unknown SSID Threshold.

Copy. Clone a new Rogue Unknown SSID Threshold based on an existing Rogue Unknown SSID Threshold's configuration.
Clone a threshold based on a custom or built-in configuration:
