Enter the minimum number of packets that must pass through the device before an SNMP rate trap will be
sent. It is recommended to set this value no less than 1000.

7.10 Specifying a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server

Network Time Protocol (NTP) manages time and clock synchronization in a network environment. The switch,
which acts as an NTP client, periodically synchronizes its clock with a master clock on an NTP server. Time
synchronization is typically optional (although recommended) for the switch's network operations; however,
for sites using Kerberos authentication, time synchronization is required. Kerberos must synchronize the
clocks of its Key Distribution Center (KDC) server(s).
The maximum threshold for the number of packets per second before a trap is sent.
The maximum threshold for the total throughput in Mbps (Megabits per second) for each
of the devices before a trap is sent.
The minimum threshold for the average bit speed in Mbps (Megabits per second) for each
of the devices before a trap is sent.
The maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets that are non-unicast for each
of the devices before a trap is sent. Non-unicast packets include broadcast and multi-cast
traffic.
The minimum threshold for the average signal strength in dBm for each of the devices
before a trap is sent.
The maximum threshold for the average number of retries for each of the devices before a
trap is sent.
The maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets that are given up for each of
the devices before a trap is sent.
The maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets that are dropped for each of
the devices before a trap is sent.
The maximum threshold for the total percentage of packets that are undecryptable for each
of the devices before a trap is sent. Undecryptable packets can be the result of corrupt
packets, bad CRC checks, or incomplete packets.
The maximum threshold for the total number of MUs associated with each of the devices
before a trap is sent.

Mu (each mobile unit connected to the switch).
