Figure 8-21 Wireless IPS screen - WIPS Events - Excessive tab
The Excessive tab lists events with the potential of impacting network performance. An administrator can enable or
disable event filtering and set the thresholds for the generation of the event notification and filtering action.
An Excessive Action Event is an event where an action is performed repetitively and continuously. DoS attacks come under
this category. Use the Excessive Actions Events table to select and configure the action taken when events are
triggered.
11. Set the following Excessive Action Event configurations:
Name Displays the name of the excessive action event representing a potential threat to the
network. This column lists the event being tracked against the defined thresholds set for
interpreting the event as excessive or permitted.
Enable Displays whether tracking is enabled for each event. Use the drop-down menu to enable/
disable events as required. A green checkmark defines the event as enabled for tracking
against its threshold values. A red “X” defines the event as disabled and not tracked by
the WIPS policy. Each event is disabled by default.
