6To enable countermeasures against rogues detected by radios managed by this profile, select one of the following from the Countermeasures Type pull-down list:

„None—Radios do not use countermeasures. This is the default.

„All—Radios use countermeasures against devices classified by MSS as rogues and against devices classified by MSS as interfering devices.

A rogue is a device that is in the 3Com network but does not belong there. An interfering device is not part of the 3Com network but also is not a rogue. MSS classifies a device as an interfering device if no client connected to the device has been detected communicating with any network entity listed in the forwarding database (FDB) of any WX switch in the Mobility Domain. Although the interfering device is not connected to your network, the device might be causing RF interference with MAP radios.

„Rogue—Radios use countermeasures against devices classified by MSS as rogues, but do not use countermeasures against devices classified by MSS as interfering devices.

CAUTION: Countermeasures affect wireless service on a radio. When a MAP radio is sending countermeasures, the radio is disabled for use by network traffic, until the radio finishes sending the countermeasures.

7To disable active scanning for rogue devices, deselect Enable Active Scan.

When active scan is enabled, radios send probe any requests (probe requests with a null SSID name), to solicit probe responses from other access points. Radios also passively scan by listening for beacons and probe responses. When active scan is disabled, radios perform passive scanning only.

8Click Radio Selection at the top of the Create Radio Profile wizard. The Radio Selection page appears.

9Select the MAP radios on which you want to enable countermeasures from the Available Members column.

10Click Move to move the radios to the Current Members column.

11Click Finish to save the changes and close the wizard.
