Tagging Critical APs

A critical AP is an AP that exceeds the daily traffic threshold (sum of uplink and downlink) data bytes configured on the controller web interface.

Follow these steps to tag critical APs (APs that exceed the data traffic threshold you have defined) automatically:

  1. Go to Network > Wireless > AP Settings > Critical AP Tagging.
  2. Select the Enable Auto Tagging Critical APs check box.
  3. For Auto Tagging Rules, select Daily Traffic Bytes Exceeds Threshold.
  4. For Rule Threshold:
    • In the first box, enter the value that you want to set as the traffic threshold. This value will be applied in conjunction with the data unit that you select in the second box.
    • In the second box, select the data unit for the threshold—MB for megabytes or GB for gigabytes.
  5. Click OK.

Critical APs are marked with red dots next to its MAC Address for attention (refer the following image). APs that exceed the daily traffic threshold that you specified will appear highlighted on the Access Points page and the Access Point details page. Additionally, the controller will send an SNMP trap to alert you that an AP has been disconnected.
