Access Point Alerts

Aruba Central On-Premises allows you to configure and enable Access Point alerts. Access Point alerts are configurable based on the devices types.

• New Virtual Controller Detected—Generates an alert when a new virtual controller is detected. It is only supported for IAP devices.
• Virtual Controller Disconnected—Generates an alert when a virtual controller is disconnected. This alert is enabled by default and the alert severity is Major. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. The default value is 10 minutes. It is only supported for IAP devices.
• New AP Detected—Generates an alert when a new AP is detected. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• AP Disconnected—Generates an alert when an AP is disconnected. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. The default value is 15 minutes. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• Rogue AP Detected—Generates an alert when a rogue AP is detected. This alert is enabled by default and the alert severity is Major. It is only supported for IAP devices.

  This alert is generated only for newly detected Rogue AP in the network. If the rogue AP is not seen for 7 to 8 days in the network, then the AP is automatically removed from the database. If the same rogue is detected again in the network, there will be an alert notification since it is considered as a newly detected Rogue AP.

• AP With Missing Radios—Generates an alert when the AP radio is faulty. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• AP CPU Utilization—Generates an alert when the AP CPU Central Processing Unit.  A CPU is an electronic circuitry in a computer for processing instructions.  utilization exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• AP Memory Utilization—Generates an alert when the AP memory utilization exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• Radio Channel Utilization—Generates an alert when the AP radio channel utilization exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. From the Band drop-down, select the spectrum band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. : 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz or 6 GHz. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• Radio Noise Floor—Generates an alert when the Noise Floor (dBm Data Center Bridging. DCB is a collection of standards developed by IEEE for creating a converged data center network using Ethernet. ) exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. From the Band drop-down, select the spectrum band: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz or 6 GHz. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• Connected Clients per VC—Generates an alert when the number of connected clients to the VC exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert. It is only supported for IAP devices.
• Connected Clients per AP—Generates an alert when the number of connected clients to the AP exceeds the threshold value. User can enter the threshold value after which the alerts must be generated. The recommended value is 15 minutes and above. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• Radio Frames Retry Percent—Generates an alert when the AP radio frames retry percent exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. From the Band drop-down, select the spectrum band: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz or 6 GHz. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• AP Tunnel Down—Generates an alert when a single L3 tunnel configured on the AP goes down. It is only supported for IAP devices.
• All AP Tunnels Down—Generates an alert when all the L3 tunnels configured on the AP go down. It is only supported for IAP devices.
• Radio Non Wi-Fi Utilization—Generates an alert when the AP radio non-Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. utilization exceeds the threshold value. In the Duration field, enter the duration after which the alert must be generated. From the Band drop-down, select the spectrum band: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz or 6 GHz. You can add additional rule(s) for this alert. It is supported for both IAP and CAP/ RAP devices.
• AP Crash—Generates an alert when an AP crash is detected. It is only supported for CAP/ RAP devices.
• AP Reboot—Generates an alert when an AP reboot is detected. It is only supported for CAP/ RAP devices.
• Airgroup The application that allows the end users to register their personal mobile devices on a local network and define a group of friends or associates who are allowed to share them. AirGroup is primarily designed for colleges and other institutions. AirGroup uses zero configuration networking to allow Apple mobile devices, such as the AirPrint wireless printer service and the AirPlay mirroring service, to communicate over a complex access network topology. Cache Overflow—Generates an alert when cache records cross a specific limit and the AP is flooded. Memory on the AP is limited, so a maximum limit of 2k records on discovered-cache entries and 4k records on central-cache entries is set. This alert is generated for APs that run AOS 10.x or higher. It is only supported for IAP devices.
• AP Routing Table Limit—Generates an alert when the number of routes on Microbranch solution reaches 80% of the maximum routes. The maximum number of routes supported is 512 out of which, 16 route entries are reserved for default and connected routes, leaving only 496 routes for protocol routes, static and overlay. This event is cleared when route table utilization goes below 70% of the total route table size.
• DPP Attack—Generates an alert when there is a DPP-related DoS Denial of Service.  DoS is any type of attack where the attackers send excessive messages to flood traffic and thereby preventing the legitimate users from accessing the service. attack in the network.

• AP DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to an IP-enabled device from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network. Pool Consumption Alert—Generates a Microbranch IAP alert when the client uses an IP address from the AP DHCP Pool which exceeds the threshold value.

• IAP Firmware Upgrade Failed—Generates an alert when there is any IAP upgrade failure such as, no firmware image is available or there is no response from the device. It is only supported for IAP devices.
