6.2.1Enabling and Configuring AP Detection

Use the Configuration screen to enable the switch to detect potentially hostile access points, set the number of detected APs allowed and define the timeout and threshold values used for detection. The switch enables both access ports and MUs to scan and detect access points within the switch managed network. Continually re-validating the credentials of associated access points reduces the possibility of an access point hacking into the switch managed network.

To configure AP Detection:

1.Select Security > Access Port Intrusion Detection from the main menu.

2.Select the Configuration tab.
