Glossary

Threshold Description

Layer 3 Multicast Frames % An alarm that is generated when the system has detected a high

percentage of multicast trac violating the policy thresholds. This

may be a result of potential Layer 3 broadcast storm attacks on the

network.

Enter the maximum percentage of data per minute allowed for

multicast frames to be transmitted or received within a BSS from all

stations. If Extreme AirDefense detects a greater number, it

generates an alarm.

Use the Min Frame control set the minimum number of frames for

this threshold.

Default = 0.

Layer 3 Broadcast Frames % An alarm that is generated when the system has detected a high

percentage of broadcast trac violating the policy thresholds. This

may be a result of potential Layer 3 broadcast storm attacks on the

network.

Enter the maximum percentage of data per minute allowed for

broadcast frames to be transmitted or received within a BSS from

all stations. If Extreme AirDefense detects a greater number, it

generates an alarm.

Use the Min Frame control set the minimum number of frames for

this threshold.

Default = 0.

Retransmission Frames % Enter the maximum percentage of retransmitted data frames

allowed during a transmission of data within a BSS from all stations.

If Extreme AirDefense detects a greater number, it generates an

alarm.

Use the Min Frame control set the minimum number of frames for

this threshold.

Default = 0.

PS Poll Frames Seen An alarm is generated by a DOS attack using an excessive number

of PS-POLL frames have been detected.

Enter the maximum number of PS Poll frames to be seen within a

BSS. If Extreme AirDefense detects a greater number, it generates

an alarm.Default = 0.

Wireless Clients

Use the Wireless Clients tab to conﬁgure thresholds for any wireless client. These thresholds will

typically be lower than the aggregate Wireless Client thresholds. Extreme AirDefense generates an

alarm if any single Wireless Client reaches one of these thresholds. From these alarms, you can identify

the high bandwidth users, and the times they are using the network. You should base Wireless Client

thresholds on either the normal transmission rate for your wireless LAN, or on arbitrary numbers

designed to detect your high-bandwidth users.

Note

Entering 0 (zero) as a threshold value disables alarm generation for that particular threshold.
