Chapter 22

Wireless Intrusion Prevention

The ArubaOS Wireless Intrusion Prevention (WIP) features and configurations are discussed in this chapter. WIP offers a wide selection of intrusion detection and protection features to protect the network against wireless threats. Like most other security-related features of the Dell network, the WIP configuration is done on the master controller in the network.

To use most of the features described in this chapter, you must install a Wireless Intrusion Protection (RFprotect) license on all Dell controllers in your network. If you install a RFprotect license on a master controller only, an AP or AM terminated on a local controller will not provide the WIP features.

These features do not require an RFprotect license:

•Rogue AP classification techniques other than AP classification rules

•Rogue containment

•Wired containment

•Wireless containment without Tarpit

For details on commands see the Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS 6.2 Command Line Interface Guide.
