Violation Type Displays the name of the violation for which threshold values are set in the MU,
radio and switch columns.
Mobile Unit Set the MU threshold value for each violation type. If exceeded, the MU will be
filtered and displayed within the Filtered MUs screen. For non-threshold
violations, setting the value to 1 enables detection.
Radio Set the radio threshold value for each violation type. If exceeded, the MU is
filtered and displayed within the Filtered MUs screen.
Switch Set the switch’s threshold value for each violation type. If exceeded, the offending
MU is filtered (from the switch) and displayed within the Filtered MUs screen.
Time to Filter Set the interval (in seconds) the switch uses to filter out MUs defined as
committing a violation. Refer to Viewing Filtered MUs on page 6-12 to review the
contents of MUs filtered thus far.
CAUTION: Setting MU threshold values too low can jeopardize MU performance or break
the MU’s connection.
NOTE: If using the Frames with known bad ESSIDs violation parameter if no ESSIDs
are entered in the Bad Essid Config dialogue, this parameter will not function.
