You can configure the following options:

•Infrastructure Detection Policies — Specifies the policy for detecting wireless attacks on APs.

•Client Detection Policies — Specifies the policy for detecting wireless attacks on clients.

•Infrastructure Protection Policies — Specifies the policy for protecting APs from wireless attacks.

•Client Protection Policies — Specifies the policy for protecting clients from wireless attacks.

•Containment Methods — Prevents unauthorized stations from connecting to your Cloud Network Manager network.

Each of these options contains several default levels that enable different sets of policies. An administrator can customize enable or disable these options accordingly.

The detection levels can be configured using the IDS pane. The following levels of detection can be configured in the WIP Detection page:

•Off

•Low

•Medium
