Table 13-6. Access Point SNMP Traps (continued)

Trap	Description	Priority Level
Frame Bandwidth rate	This trap refers to the event of the bandwidth rate for a station	Medium
exceeded	exceeding a configured threshold (High Watermark).
Frame low speed rate	This trap refers to the event when the percentage of received	Medium
exceeded	and transmitted frames at low speed (less that 5.5Mbps for
	802.11b and less that 24 Mbps for 802.11a) exceeds the
	configured High Watermark.

*The High Watermark refers to the percentage threshold, which if surpassed triggers the event that causes the trap to be sent. The Low Watermark refers to the percentage threshold, such that if the retry rate reaches a value lower than this value the event is reset. The trap will be triggered the first time the Frame Retry rate crosses the High Watermark and then will only be triggered if the Frame Retry Rate goes under the Low Watermark and then crosses the High Watermark again. This holds true for the bandwidth rate and low speed rate thresholds as well.

Configuring Logging

This section outlines the steps required to configure logging on an WFS709TP. The logging level can be set for each of the modules in the software system. Table 13-7summarizes these modules.

Table 13-7. WFS709TP Modules

Module	Description
Authentication	The module responsible for authentication of wireless clients
Configuration Manager	The module responsible for configuration changes in the network and
	configuration synchronization among all WFS709TPs
Management AAA	The module responsible for authentication of management users
	(telnet/ssh/WebUI)
DHCP server	The DHCP server in the WFS709TP
Switching	The module responsible for all Layer 2/3 switching functionality
Mobility	The module responsible for inter-WFS709TP and intra-WFS709TP
	mobility for wireless clients
Access Point Manager	The module responsible for managing the APs in the network
Station Manager	The module responsible for all wireless stations at a 802.11 level
Traffic	A logical module to track traffic patterns to help troubleshooting

You can configure the logging levels for each of these modules as well as the IP address of a syslog server to which the WFS709TP can direct these logs. To configure logging:
