Wireless IPS screen - WIPS Events - MU Anomaly tab

MU Anomaly events are suspicious events by wireless clients that can compromise the
security and stability of the network. Use the MU Anomaly screen to set the intervals
clients can be filtered upon the generation of each event.

Filter Expiration

Set the duration an event generating client is filtered. This creates a special ACL entry, and
frames coming from the client are dropped. The default setting is 0 seconds.
This value is applicable across the RF Domain. If a station is detected performing an
attack and is filtered by an access point, the information is passed to the domain
controller. The domain controller then propagates this information to all the access points
in the RF Domain.

Client Threshold

Set the client threshold after which the filter is triggered and an event generated.

Radio Threshold

Set the radio threshold after which an event is recorded to the event history.
