Unregistered Client

Make a physical check near the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The unregistered client fault is

 

scanning AP that reported this fault

 

 

 

triggered when an AP in scanning

 

to see if there are any rogue clients.

 

 

 

mode detects a number of probe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

requests and association requests

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from a station, client, or access

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

point, which crosses the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

configuired threshold in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

configured time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The registration attempts are not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

being made to the scanning AP;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the attempts are being made to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

regular APs that the scanning AP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

notices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The scanning AP counts the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

packets per station.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(The fault is generated based on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the configured Client

within a 15-minute period. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

default is 100 registrations, but

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can be changed to 200, 300, 400

This fault is cleared when no

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

registration attempts are detected

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

during the observation interval
