576CHAPTER 26: ROGUE DETECTION AND COUNTERMEASURES

Configuring a The permitted SSID list specifies the SSIDs that are allowed on the Permitted SSID List network. If MSS detects packets for an SSID that is not on the list, the AP

that sent the packets is classified as a rogue. MSS issues countermeasures against the rogue if they are enabled.

By default, the permitted SSID list is empty and all SSIDs are allowed. If you configure a permitted SSID list, MSS allows traffic only for the SSIDs that are on the list. The permitted SSID list applies only to the WX switch on which the list is configured. WX switches do not share permitted SSID lists.

If you add a device that MSS has classified as a rogue to the permitted SSID list, but not to the ignore list, MSS can still classify the device as a rogue. Adding an entry to the permitted SSID list merely indicates that the device is using an allowed SSID. However, to cause MSS to stop classifying the device as a rogue, you must add the device’s MAC address to the ignore list.

To add an SSID to the list, use the following command:

set rfdetect ssid-list ssid-name

The following command adds SSID mycorp to the list of permitted SSIDs:

WX4400# set rfdetect ssid-list mycorp success: ssid mycorp is now in ssid-list.

To display the permitted SSID list, use the following command:

display rfdetect ssid-list

The following example shows the permitted SSID list on a WX switch:

WX1200# display rfdetect ssid-list Total number of entries: 3

SSID

-----------------

mycorp corporate guest

To remove an SSID from the permitted SSID list, use the following command:

clear rfdetect ssid-list ssid-name
