Abstract
Techniques are described by which a network management system (NMS) is configured to generate and monitor an RSSI-based proximity zone for a wireless network using a user interface (UI). The NMS may generate a UI comprising UI elements representing access point (AP) devices configured to provide a wireless network at a site; receive, at the user interface, an indication of a user input selecting one or more UI elements representing selected AP devices; establish a proximity zone for each of the selected AP devices based on an RSSI threshold value; receive network data comprising proximity information of a client device relative to the selected AP devices; generate, based on proximity assessments using the proximity information and the RSSI threshold value of the proximity zone, one or more proximity events indicating the client device relation to the proximity zone; and invoke, based on the proximity events, one or more actions.
