Classification

MSS can classify third-party APs as

Yes

Yes

 

rogues or interfering devices. A

 

 

 

rogue is a third-party AP whose

 

 

 

MAC address MSS knows from the

 

 

 

wired side of the network. An

 

 

 

interfering device does not have a

 

 

 

MAC address known on the wired

 

 

 

side.

 

 

 

MSS can detect rogue clients, locate

 

 

 

their APs, and issue countermeasures

 

 

 

against the APs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Permitted

List of OUIs to allow on the network.

Yes

No

vendor list

An OUI is the first three octets of a

 

 

 

MAC address and uniquely identifies

 

 

 

an AP’s or client’s vendor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Permitted SSID

List of SSIDs allowed on the network.

Yes

Yes

list

MSS can issue countermeasures

 

 

 

against third-party APs sending

 

 

 

traffic for an SSID that is not on the

 

 

 

list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Client black list

List of client or AP MAC addresses

Yes

Yes

 

that are not allowed on the wireless

 

 

 

network. MSS drops all packets from

 

 

 

these clients or APs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attack list

List of AP MAC addresses to attack.

Yes

No

 

MSS can issue countermeasures

 

 

 

against these APs whenever they are

 

 

 

detected on the network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ignore list

List of MAC addresses to ignore

Yes

Yes

 

during RF detection. MSS does not

 

 

 

classify devices on this list as rogues

 

 

 

or interfering devices, and does not

 

 

 

issue countermeasures against them.
