408 AirDefense integration with the Nortel WLAN 2300 system

Figure 25. AirDefense integration with the Nortel WLAN 2300 system

In the example above, a Distributed AP converted to operate as an AirDefense sensor monitors the network and sends
information to the AirDefense server, via a WSS. The AirDefense server analyzes the information received from the
sensors and relays SNMP traps to the WMS server, where they can be viewed as alarms by WMS clients.
A user running a WMS client can gain access to the user interface on the AirDefense server directly from WMS.

Converting an AP into an AirDefense sensor

This section describes the procedures for converting an AP into an AirDefense sensor, specifying the AirDefense server
the converted AP sends information to, and how to convert an AirDefense sensor back to an AP.
The following tasks are described:
“Copying the AirDefense sensor software to the WSS” on page 410
“Loading the AirDefense sensor software on the AP” on page 411
“Specifying the AirDefense server” on page 412
Note. AirDefence system doesn’t work on 2332-Xn
Note. Converting an AP to an AirDefense sensor is supported only for model
2330.
