Access Point Alerts

Aruba Central allows you to configure and enable the following Access Points alerts:

New Virtual Controller Detected—Generates an alert when a new virtual controller is detected.

Virtual Controller Disconnected—Generates an alert when a virtual controller is disconnected. This alert is enabled by default and the alert severity is Major. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. The default value is 10 minutes.

New AP Detected—Generates an alert when a new Instant AP is detected.

AP Disconnected—Generates an alert when an Instant AP is disconnected. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. The default value is 15 minutes.

Rogue AP Detected—Generates an alert when a rogue Instant AP is detected. This alert is enabled by default and the alert severity is Major.

Infrastructure Attack Detected—Generates an alert when an infrastructure attack is detected.

Client Attack Detected—Generates an alert when a client attack is detected.

Uplink Changed—Generates an alert when an uplink has changed.

Modem Unplugged—Generates an alert when the modem is unplugged.

Modem Plugged—Generates an alert when the modem is plugged.

AP CPU Utilization—Generates an alert when the Instant AP CPUCentral Processing Unit. A CPU is an electronic circuitry in a computer for processing instructions. utilization exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert.

AP Memory Utilization—Generates an alert when the Instant AP memory utilization exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert.

Insufficient Power Supplied—Generates an alert when the Access Point is supplied with lesser power than the required power.

Radio Channel Utilization—Generates an alert when the Instant AP radio channel utilization exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. From the Band drop-down, select the spectrum bandBand refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert.

Radio Noise Floor—Generates an alert when the Noise Floor (dBmDecibel-Milliwatts. dBm is a logarithmic measurement (integer) that is typically used in place of mW to represent receive-power level. AMP normalizes all signals to dBm, so that it is easy to evaluate performance between various vendors.) exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. From the Band drop-down, select the spectrum band: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert.

Connected Clients per VC—Generates an alert when the number of connected clients to the VC exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert.

Connected Clients per AP—Generates an alert when the number of connected clients to the AP exceeds the threshold value. User can enter the threshold value after which the alerts must be generated. The recommended value is 15 minutes and above. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert.

Radio Frames Retry Percent—Generates an alert when the Instant AP or Campus APCampus APs are used in private networks where APs connect over private links (LAN, WLAN, WAN or MPLS) and terminate directly on controllers. Campus APs are deployed as part of the indoor campus solution in enterprise office buildings, warehouses, hospitals, universities, and so on. radio frames retry percent exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. From the Band drop-down, select the spectrum band: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert.

IAP Firmware Upgrade Failed—Generates an alert when there is any Instant AP upgrade failure such as, no firmware image is available or there is no response from the device.
