Liberty University has been primarily using Airwave too. If there is only one 
MAC address missing, Aruba ECS / Bradford Campus Manager cam alert too.

Subject: Re: Stolen Wireless Device Tracking?

We've actually used airwave to solve this issue.  It has the capability to flag 
and email/alert when the stolen MAC address appears anywhere on the wireless 
network.  Also it can physically locate the device within VisualRF 
(mapping/location services).  We located a "stolen" library laptop when it was 
plugged back into it's charging cart after being "lost" for weeks.

Unfortunately, we experience the occasional theft of University-owned or 
personal laptops. Using Cisco WCS, we can certainly find the last place a 
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)?
