Client Trigger Types and Condition Settings
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 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 1500kbps 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 1500kbps
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.
