who are not allowed on the network. MSS prevents clients on the list

List

from accessing the network through an WX switch.

1In the Filtered List of rogues on the Rogue Detection tab, select the rogues whose clients you want to place on the black list.

2Click on the toolbar. The Select Devices dialog is displayed.

3Select the clients you want to add to the black list.

4If the switch(es) on which you want to enforce the black list are in a Mobility Domain, select the Mobility Domain. Otherwise, select None.

Configuring RF

Although the Rogue Detection tab provides the simplest way to configure

Detection Options

rogue detection features, you also can configure them on an individual

from the Organizer

switch basis. To configure rogue detection settings for a switch:

Panel

 

1Expand the switch in the Equipment area of the Organizer panel.

2Select RF Detection, right-click, and select Edit. The Modify RF Detection wizard appears.

3To enable MSS to use MAP signatures to verify the authenticity of packets whose source MAC address belongs to a MAP, select Enable Signature.

A MAP signature is a set of bits in a management frame sent by a MAP that identifies that MAP to MSS. If someone attempts to spoof management packets from a 3Com MAP, MSS can detect the spoof attempt.

This option is disabled by default.
