 "Setting Triggers for IDS Events" on page 189  "Setting Triggers for AMP Health" on page 189 Setting Triggers for Devices Perform the following steps to configure device-related triggers in . a. Choose a device type from the Devices listed in the Type drop-down menu. See Figure 131. Table 106 itemizes and describes device trigger options and condition settings. Table 106 Device Trigger Types Option Description Device Down This is the default type whenever configuring a new trigger. This type of trigger activates when an authorized, monitored AP has failed to respond to SNMP queries from AMP. To set the conditions for this trigger type, select Add in the Conditions section. Complete the conditions with the Option, Condition, and Value drop-down menus. The conditions establish the device type. Multiple conditions can apply to this type of trigger. The Device Down trigger can be configured to send alerts for thin APs when the controller is down; this behavior is turned off by default. Device Up This trigger type activates when an authorized, previously down AP is now responding to SNMP queries. To set the conditions for this trigger type, select Add in the Conditions section. Configuration Mismatch This trigger type activates when the actual configuration on the AP does not match the defined Group configuration policy. To set the conditions for this trigger type, select Add in the Conditions section. Device User Count Activates when a device reaches a user-count threshold for more than a specified period (such as more than 10 users associated for more than 60 seconds). AP Bandwidth Activates when the total bandwidth through the device has exceeded a predefined threshold for more than a specified period (such as more than 1500kbps for more than 120 seconds). You can also select bandwidth direction and page/radio. Selecting this type displays the following new fields in the Type section. Define these settings.  Alert if Device Bandwidth >= (kbps)-This threshold establishes a device-specific bandwidth policy, not a bandwidth policy on the network as a whole.  Bandwidth Direction-Choose In, Out, or Combined. This bandwidth is monitored on the device itself, not on the network as a whole. Device Resources This type of trigger indicates that the CPU or memory utilization for a device (including router or switch) has exceeded a defined percentage for a specified period of time. Device Event This trigger is used for alerting based on SNMP traps and syslog messages, which are displayed in System > Syslogs & Traps, APs/Devices > Monitor for affected devices, and in Users > User Detail. The conditions supported are:  Event Contents (case insensitive substring matches on message content)  Event Type (syslog or trap)  Syslog Severity: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Bug, Error, Warning, Notice, or Info  Syslog Category  SNMP Trap Category: Hardware, IDS, Client Security, AP Security, AP Status, Software, or Rogue Detection NOTE: During the process of upgrading or installation for non-Master Console/Failover AMPs, AMP creates two default trigger definitions for Device Events:  SNMP Trap Category of Hardware or Software  Event Type is Syslog and Syslog Severity >= Critical b. Repeat this procedure for as many triggers and conditions as desired. Refer to the start of "Creating New Triggers" on page 183 to create a new trigger. 186 | Performing Daily Administration in AirWave Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave | Version 7.3

Setting Triggers for Devices
Perform the following steps to configure device-related triggers in .
a.
Choose a device type from the
Devices
listed in the
Type
drop-down menu. See
Figure 131
.
Table 106
itemizes and describes device trigger options and condition settings.
b.
Repeat this procedure for as many triggers and conditions as desired. Refer to the start of
“Creating New
Triggers” on page
183
to create a new trigger.
Table 106
Device Trigger Types
Option
Description
Device Down
This is the default type whenever configuring a new trigger. This type of trigger activates when an
authorized, monitored AP has failed to respond to SNMP queries from AMP.
To set the conditions for this trigger type, select
Add
in the
Conditions
section. Complete the conditions with
the
Option
,
Condition
, and
Value
drop-down menus. The conditions establish the device type. Multiple
conditions can apply to this type of trigger. The Device Down trigger can be configured to send alerts for
thin APs when the controller is down; this behavior is turned off by default.
Device Up
This trigger type activates when an authorized, previously down AP is now responding to SNMP queries. To
set the conditions for this trigger type, select
Add
in the
Conditions
section.
Configuration
Mismatch
This trigger type activates when the actual configuration on the AP does not match the defined
Group
configuration policy.
To set the conditions for this trigger type, select
Add
in the
Conditions
section.
Device User
Count
Activates when a device reaches a user-count threshold for more than a specified period (such as more
than 10 users associated for more than 60 seconds).
AP Bandwidth
Activates when the total bandwidth through the device has exceeded a predefined threshold for more than
a specified period (such as more than 1500kbps for more than 120 seconds). You can also select bandwidth
direction and page/radio. Selecting this type displays the following new fields in the
Type
section. Define
these settings.
Alert if Device Bandwidth >= (kbps)
—This threshold establishes a device-specific bandwidth policy, not
a bandwidth policy on the network as a whole.
Bandwidth Direction
—Choose
In
,
Out
, or
Combined
. This bandwidth is monitored on the device itself,
not on the network as a whole.
Device Resources
This type of trigger indicates that the CPU or memory utilization for a device (including router or switch) has
exceeded a defined percentage for a specified period of time.
Device Event
This trigger is used for alerting based on SNMP traps and syslog messages, which are displayed in
System
> Syslogs & Traps
,
APs/Devices > Monitor for affected devices
, and in
Users > User Detail.
The conditions
supported are:
Event Contents
(case insensitive substring matches on message content)
Event Type
(syslog or trap)
Syslog Severity
: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Bug, Error, Warning, Notice, or Info
Syslog Category
SNMP Trap Category
: Hardware, IDS, Client Security, AP Security, AP Status, Software, or Rogue
Detection
NOTE:
During the process of upgrading or installation for non-Master Console/Failover AMPs, AMP creates
two default trigger definitions for Device Events:
SNMP Trap Category of Hardware or Software
Event Type is Syslog and Syslog Severity >= Critical
