I use it, but don't think I've ever explored alerting before. On another note, I think we saw some growth over black friday, but not really over Christmas. We used to average 1650 simultaneous wireless devices during peak times, now it's more like 1750. Thanks, Nathan Nathan P.

I've gone back to previous semesters and calculated our growth and we have seen an average of 15% growth from semester to semester. This semester we are also having to deal with DHCP pools (we use /22s) that are nearly exhausted. Cacti does a great job for us to monitor lease consumption as well as alerting when they reach a critical level. Below are our numbers, and some previous numbers for comparison: Date 802.11a 802.11b/g n5gz n2.4ghz Clients total Spring 2011 1510 8144 434 373 10000 Summer 2011 522 2733 93 63 4300 Fall 2011 1631 10296 670 796 12400 Spring 2012 2121 11208 1047 1828 15140 Thanks, Hector Rios Louisiana State University From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Wright, Don Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2012 10:10 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Very high number of wireless devices returning from break All, It seems an alarmingly high number of wireless devices have returned to our campus this week. After at least of year of steadily increasing numbers, we are now seeing a roughly 40% increase since last December. At first I didn't believe what I was seeing and opened a case with the vendor to confirm reporting was accurate. Tied into this, we upgraded by a major version earlier this month and I thought this could be related. Apparently not the case, everything we've looked at tells us that the numbers are accurate. I'm still looking a stats, but haven't been able to come up with anything yet. Is anyone else seeing this magnitude of increase in devices over winter break ?
