Cisco Integrates Cognio's Wireless Management Tools: Page 2 of 2

Users can set up SNMP traps using Cognio's Spectrum Expert that will detect both Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi interference. The traps contain information on the type of device causing interference, when the interference occurred and which access point was affected.

The management platform will then alert admins through e-mail or page when a problem occurs and enable them to access log files to see what is happening on the network.
