714 Rogue detection and counter measures
NN47250-500 (Version 03.01)

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:
If you add a device that WSS Software has classified as a rogue to the permitted vendor list or permitted SSID 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
or permitted SSID list merely indicates that the device is from an allowed manufacturer or is using an allowed SSID.
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 a device to the ignore list, use the following command:
set rfdetect ignore mac-addr
The mac-addr is the BSSID of the device you want to ignore.
To ignore BSSID aa:bb:cc:11:22:33 during all RF scans, type the following command:
WSS# 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:
WSS# show rfdetect ignore
Total numb er of entries: 2
Ignore MAC
-----------------
aa:bb:cc:11:22:33
aa:bb:cc:44:55:66
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.
