1. Choose a trigger type from the Clients category, listed in the Type drop-down menu. See Figure 130 in "Creating
New Triggers" on page 220. Table 113 itemizes and describes the Client-related trigger types, and condition settings
for each discovery trigger type.
Client Trigger
Option
Description
New Client
This trigger type indicates a new user has associated to a device within a defined set of
groups or folders. A Filter on connection mode field appears to allow you to filter by Wired or
Wireless clients. Note that the New Client trigger type does not require the configuration of
any condition settings, so the Condition section disappears.
Connected
Clients
This trigger type indicates a device (based on an input list of MAC addresses) has associated
to the wireless network. It is required to define one or more MAC addresses with the field that
appears.
Client Count
Activates when a device, Radio/Interface, or BSSID reaches a user-count threshold for more
than a specified period (such as more than 10 users associated for more than 60 seconds).
Client Usage
This trigger type indicates that the sustained rate of bandwidth used by an individual user has
exceeded a predefined threshold for more than a specified period, in seconds (such as more
than 1500 Kbps for more than 120 seconds).
Once you choose this trigger type, select Add New Trigger Condition to specify the bandwidth
characteristics that triggers an alert. You can apply multiple conditions to this type of trigger.
The Value field requires that you input a numerical figure for kilobits per second (Kbps).
New VPN User
This trigger type indicates a new VPN user has associated to a device within a defined set of
groups or folders. Note that the New VPN User trigger type does not require the configuration
of any condition settings, so the Condition section disappears.
Connected VPN
Users
This trigger type indicates a VPN device (based on an input list of MAC addresses) has
associated to the VPN network. It is required to define one or more VPN usernames with the
field that appears.
VPN Session
Usage
This trigger type indicates that the sustained rate of bandwidth used in an individual VPN
session has exceeded a predefined threshold for more than a specified period, in seconds
(such as more than 1500 Kbps for more than 120 seconds).
Once you choose this trigger type, select Add New Trigger Condition to specify the bandwidth
characteristics that triggers an alert. You can apply multiple conditions to this type of trigger.
The Value field requires that you input a numerical figure for kilobits per second (Kbps).
Inactive Tag
This trigger type flags events in which an RFID tag has not been reported back to AirWave by
a controller for more than a certain number of hours. This trigger can be used to help identify
inventory that might be lost or stolen. Set the time duration for this trigger type if not already
completed.
IPv4 Link-Local
Addresses
When enabled, this trigger checks whether the total count of self-assigned IP addresses has
crossed a set threshold for clients within a selected folder or group. The alert deployed by this
trigger includes a link to search for IP addresses containing 169.254.x.x.
Client Goodput
This trigger type indicates that the goodput for an individual client has exceeded a predefined
threshold. Available conditions are Usage Kbps (combined), Usage Kbps (in), and Usage
Kbps (out).
Client Speed
This trigger type indicates that the speed for an individual client has exceeded a predefined
threshold. The available condition for this trigger is Speed Mbps.
