Severity Levels
There are three severity levels for system alarms:
Critical
•
Major
•
Informational
•
Critical alarms will often result in severe disruption in network activity or an automatic reboot of
the AP
Major alarms are usually activated due to a breach in the security of the system. Clients cannot
be authenticated or an attempt at unauthorized access into the AP has been detected.
Informational alarms are there to provide the network administrator with some general
information about the activities the AP is performing.
Alarm Host Table
To add an entry and enable the AP to send SNMP trap messages to a Trap Host, click Add,
and then specify the IP Address and Password for the Trap Host.
IP Address: Enter the Trap Host IP Address.
•
Password: Enter the password in the Password field and the Confirm field.
•
Comment: Enter an optional comment, such as the alarm (trap) host station name.
•
To edit or delete an entry, click Edit. Edit the information, or select Enable, Disable, or Delete
from the Status drop-down menu.
Syslog
The Syslog messaging system enables the AP to transmit event messages to a central server
for monitoring and troubleshooting. The AP can send messages to one Syslog server (it cannot
send messages to more than one Syslog server). The access point logs "Session Start (Log-in)"
and "Session Stop (Log-out)" events for each wireless client as an alternative to RADIUS
accounting.
See RFC 3164 at
