Wireless Network Manager Administration Guide

Dashboard

The Dashboard provides a global map that displays all of your wireless deployment sites around the world.

  • The deployment details regarding the total number of devices and total traffic appear when you hover over each access point location on the map.
  • The time slider tool at the top of the screen, can be used to adjust the time period displayed.

    You can select any of the following:

    • Last Day: The events that have taken place within the previous 24 hours
    • Last Week: The events that have taken place within the previous 7 days
    • Last 30 Days: The events that have taken place within the previous 30 days

The three tabs display different options further down on the page. By default the All tab is selected (as shown in the screen above) in the top half of the screen that also displays the options down - Alert Centre and Threat Centre.

If you select the tab Access Points, the screen displays the AP statistics for the access points on-line, off-line, unmanaged, and with expired licenses. When you select this tab, the options down displayed are Alert Centre, Threat Centre, Access Points, Clients, SSIDs, Zones, and Fingerprints.

If you select the tab Switches, the screen displays the statistics for the switches in use - online, off-line, unmanaged, and expired. The options displayed down are Alert Centre, Threat Centre, Switches, Traffic of Ports, PoE of Switches, and PoE of Switch Ports.

More information on these tabs are further explained below.

  • Alert Center is the first of seven bars across the middle of the screen that can be clicked to display the traffic data summaries and visual overviews. When the main screen first comes up, Alert Center is active. Clicking the Alert Center bar lists the most recent alerts.

    The columns display Time, Priority, Device Name, Type (type of the threat), Sub Type (picked up by which type of security policy), and Source (the source access point).

  • The Threat Center bar shows the same screen but with the most recent threats in the bottom panel. The columns display Time, Priority, Device Name, Type (type of the threat), Sub Type (picked up by which type of security policy), and Source (the source access point).

  • When the Access Points bar is clicked, it lists the top access points by traffic. The top panel still displays the overview of your network and the access point status.

  • The Clients bar lists the top client devices by traffic.
  • The SSIDs bar lists the top SSIDs by traffic.
  • The Zones bar lists the top zones by traffic.
  • The Fingerprints bar lists the client devices in your hierarchy with the operating system each one is using. In real time, it detects the connection of all client devices to your access points, and monitors their activity to display the top fingerprints by traffic.
  • The Switches bar lists the traffic utilization percentage on switch interfaces.
  • The Traffic of Ports bar lists the traffic history of the switch.
  • The PoE of Switches lists the power draw details.
  • The PoE of Switch Ports lists the PoE history of switch.
