User's Guide

Configure the following thresholds:
Threshold Description
New Associations Enter the maximum number of new associations per minute
Extreme AirDefense will allow between a BSS and all Wireless
Clients combined.
Default = 20.
Generally, this number should be low. Your Wireless Clients should
associate with a BSS once in the morning when users log on, and
rarely after that. In some cases, if the threshold value represents the
actual number of Wireless Clients in a BSS, an alarm will be
generated if the BSS goes o-line, forcing the Wireless Clients to re-
associate with it. In no case should this value be greater than the
actual number of Wireless Clients in a BSS.
If the signal strength between a Wireless Client and a BSS is very
low, the Wireless Client may repeatedly lose connectivity and then
reconnect, increasing the number of associations per minute.
Total Associations Enter the total number of Wireless Clients allowed to associate at
any one time with a BSS. This number should reflect your actual
number of Wireless Clients. Extreme AirDefense generates an alarm
if it detects a greater number, assuming that the extra associations
are made by hackers.
Default = 15.
Data Frames Seen Enter the maximum number of data frames per minute allowed to
be transmitted from all Wireless Clients combined. If Extreme
AirDefense detects a greater number, it generates an alarm.
Default = 0.
Management Frames Seen Enter the maximum number of management frames per minute
allowed to be transmitted from all Wireless Clients combined. If
Extreme AirDefense detects a greater number, it generates an
alarm.
Default = 0.
Control Frames Seen Enter the maximum number of control frames per minute allowed
to be transmitted from all Wireless Clients combined. If Extreme
AirDefense detects a greater number, it generates an alarm.
Default = 0.
Association Frames Seen Enter the maximum number of association frames allowed to be
transmitted or received from all Wireless Clients. If Extreme
AirDefense detects a greater number, it generates an alarm.

Disassociation Frames Seen Enter the maximum number of disassociation frames allowed to be
transmitted or received from all Wireless Clients. If Extreme
AirDefense detects a greater number, it generates an alarm.
