New MAC Stations
Counter
New MAC Stations is a counter of all the new MAC stations over a period of time
per segment. A threshold for this counter can be set in Expert Alarms. The threshold
for new MAC stations is typically set to 1 as an absolute value.
The new MAC station counter detects new MAC stations (nodes) on a LAN
segment. After a segment is stabilized with a specific number of stations, this
counter can indicate possible intruder stations.
