Classification

The Classification tab displays a summary of classified devices. The Classification Summary table shows the number of access points and clients classified as trusted and untrusted by MAC addresses in your networks. It also shows the number of allowed vendors, SSIDs, and channels.

You may uncheck the Receive classification rules to disable a client from receiving the network's current classification rules. The default condition is checked, so each client always receives classification rules in synchronization with other clients in the network. You may also click the Synchronize button to send out the classification rules to other users within your monitored wireless networks.

Click Next to configure your trusted networks.

NOTE: Classification rules: access points and clients can be classified as trusted or untrusted, and access points can be additionally classified by MAC address, SSID, vendor, or channel.

AP Classification

The AP Classification screen lets you classify the existing access points as trusted or untrusted. A Trusted device is one that has been identified by the system administrator to be known and legitimate. An untrusted device is one that is known and not legitimate. This device could be a malicious device or simply a neighborhood device not part of the network. Remaining devices that have not been classified are considered unclassified or unknown.

The Unclassified Access Points table lists the available unclassified wireless access points with their SSIDs, channels and MAC Addresses. The top right table lists the Trusted Access Points. The lower right table lists the Untrusted Access Points.

You may select any items from the Unclassified Access Points table and click the arrow to classify your selections into Trusted Access Points or Untrusted Access Points. You may also select any items from the Trusted Access Points or Untrusted Access Points and click the arrow to de-classify your selections into the Unclassified Access Points table.

You may select Warning when connecting to untrusted AP, if you want to be warned when connecting to an untrusted AP, or select Restrict connection to untrusted AP to disallow connection to an untrusted AP.

Click Refresh to refresh the list, Clear to clear selected items on the list, or click Back to go to the previous screen.

Click AP Classification, Client Classification, or Advanced Settings to go to that screen.
