Nortel Networks 2300 manual Enabling Countermeasures, Configuring an Ignore List

548Rogue Detection and Countermeasures

Configuring an Ignore List

By default, when countermeasures are enabled, WSS Software considers any non-Nortel transmitter to be a rogue device and can send countermeasures to prevent clients from using that device. To prevent WSS Software from sending coun- termeasures against a friendly device, add the device to the known devices list:

To add a device to the ignore list, use the following command:

set rfdetect ignore mac-addr

The mac-addris the BSSID of the device you want to ignore.

Note. If you try to initiate countermeasures against a device on the ignore list, the ignore list takes precedence and WSS Software does not issue the countermeasures. Countermeasures apply only to rogue devices.

To ignore BSSID aa:bb:cc:11:22:33 during all RF scans, type the following command:

2370# set rfdetect ignore aa:bb:cc:11:22:33

success: MAC aa:bb:cc:11:22:33 is now ignored.

To remove a BSSID from the ignore list, use the following command:

clear rfdetect ignore mac-addr

To display the ignore list, use the following command:

show rfdetect ignore

The following command displays an ignore list containing two BSSIDs:

23x0# show rfdetect ignore

Total number of entries: 2 Ignore MAC

Enabling Countermeasures

Caution! Countermeasures affect wireless service on a radio. When an AP radio is sending countermeasures, the radio is disabled for use by network traffic, until the radio finishes sending the countermeasures.
