Configuring a permitted vendor list

The permitted vendor list specifies the third-party AP or client vendors that are allowed on the network. WSS Software
does not list a device as a rogue or interfering device if the device’s OUI is in the permitted vendor list.
By default, the permitted vendor list is empty and all vendors are allowed. If you configure a permitted vendor list, WSS
Software allows only the devices whose OUIs are on the list. The permitted vendor list applies only to the WSS on
which the list is configured. WSSs do not share permitted vendor lists.
If you add a device that WSS Software has classified as a rogue to the permitted vendor list, but not to the ignore list,
WSS Software can still classify the device as a rogue. Adding an entry to the permitted vendor list merely indicates that
the device is from an allowed vendor. However, to cause WSS Software to stop classifying the device as a rogue, you
must add the device’s MAC address to the ignore list.
To add an entry to the permitted vendor list, use the following command:
set rfdetect vendor-list {client | ap} mac-addr
The following command adds an entry for clients whose MAC addresses start with aa:bb:cc:
WSS# set rfdetect vendor-list client aa:bb:cc:00:00:00
success: MAC aa:bb:cc:00:00:00 is now in client vendor-list.
The trailing 00:00:00 value is required.
To display the permitted vendor list, use the following command:
show rfdetect vendor-list
The following example shows the permitted vendor list on a switch:
WSS# show rfdetect vendor-list
Total number of ent ries: 1
OUI Type
----------------- ------
aa:bb:cc:00:00:00 client
11:2 2 :33:00:00:00 ap
To remove an entry from the permitted vendor list, use the following command:
clear rfdetect vendor-list {client | ap} {mac-addr | all}
The following command removes client OUI aa:bb:cc:00:00:00 from the permitted vendor list:
WSS# clear rfdetect vendor-list client aa:bb:cc:00:00:00
success: aa:bb:cc:00:00:00 is no longer in client vendor-list.
