https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremewireless-wing/wips-alerts/m-p/79654#M7347 Jeff, <BR /> <BR /> When you enabled the events, you must have configured some thresholds. Check the WIPS Events --&gt; Excessive tab. The Event is triggered when the sensor finds a certain number of probe requests within a certain time interval (say Y). Both these fields are configurable and the default number is 30 scans for one client. So if you configure the time interval (Y) to 1 minute, then it is easy to trigger the event.<BR /> <BR /> Please check what values are configured. For these events, you can configure thresholds depending upon how aggressive detection you want. <BR /> <BR /> regards,<BR /> Sukhdeep Wed, 20 Mar 2019 18:10:41 GMT Sukhdeep_Singh_ 2019-03-20T18:10:41Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremewireless-wing/wips-alerts/m-p/79653#M7346 I've enabled WIPS on several APs &amp; their controller. I enabled all alerts available in the WIPS policy I created.<BR /> I'm receiving many "excessive scanning" alerts from numerous devices but I can't find any information about this situation. What is "excessive scanning"? Does it pose a threat?<BR /> Is there any best practice document available for setting up/maintaining WING WIPS?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks!<BR /> Jeff Tue, 19 Mar 2019 03:06:55 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremewireless-wing/wips-alerts/m-p/79653#M7346 Jeff_Roberts 2019-03-19T03:06:55Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremewireless-wing/wips-alerts/m-p/79654#M7347 Jeff, <BR /> <BR /> When you enabled the events, you must have configured some thresholds.
