Hi Mike-

I just got new information from Cisco. As you mention, with their location 
appliances/MSEs, you can accomplish this in the Context Aware Notifications. I 
feel silly for not knowing about it, but we are newly on newer code, and I 
think it's a recently added feature.

But I'll be leveraging it soon.

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Stolen Wireless Device Tracking?

Not sure if have the location product, but I was able to setup an alert using 
the location product.  It was a few years ago, but I believe it was pretty 
simple.

Unfortunately, we experience the occasional theft of University-owned or

device was, if the wireless adapter was on, before it egressed campus. What is 
missing is a mechanism to "flag" a MAC address to alert on a client device if 
it pops back up on the network so there may be an opportunity to react.

Has anyone else faced and conquered alerting on specific clients (for whatever 
reason)?

Thanks-
