174CHAPTER 7: MANAGING AND MONITORING YOUR NETWORK

12To enable countermeasures against rogues detected by radios managed by this profile, select one of the following from the Countermeasures Mode 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.

„Configured—Causes radios to attack only devices specified in the attack list on the WX switch (on-demand countermeasures). When this option is used, devices found to be rogues by other means, such as policy violations or by determining that the device is providing connectivity to the wired network, are not attacked.
