Configure AirDefense
The ADSPadmin Config program area provides the following utilities for configuring AirDefense:
IDS—Use this item to enable or disable SSLv3 support, Fast Termination, and MAC Spoof detection
settings on the AirDefense appliance. These settings are required for AirDefense to work properly
with some legacy systems.
IP—use this to change the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of the AirDefense
appliance.
IPv6—use this to change the IPv6 address of the AirDefense appliance.
NETPORT—use this to change network interface settings, and to toggle Auto-negotiation on and o.
DNS—use this to add or delete a DNS name server (Domain Name Server).
BONDING—use this to enable the High Availability Ethernet.
HNAME—use this to change the name of the AirDefense appliance.
DNAME—use this to change the domain to which the AirDefense appliance belongs.
TIME—use this to configure the AirDefense appliances operating time and date.
TZ—use this to configure the time zone in which the AirDefense appliance operates.
NTP—use this to configure a specific network time server, instead of setting TIME and TZ.
PING—use this to enable or disable ICMP echo request responses.
SNMPA—use this to enable or disable reception SNMP agent requests.
SNMPC—use this to configure SNMP agent community string.
SNMPT—use this to enable or disable SNMP trap reception.
HTTP—use this to enable or disable unencrypted Sensor connections.
PANIC—use this to enable or disable reboot on a system error.
UIPORT—use this to display the network port you are using for the GUI.
SSlv3—use this to configure SSL version 3 support.
Configure IDS
Use the switches under IDS to enable AirDefense to work with some specific features. The following
configurations are available under IDS:
SSLv3—Use this switch to enable/disable support for SSLv3, TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 protocols.
Recently these protocols were found vulnerable and we recommend that you do not use them.
However, if your deployment has access points and sensors that support these protocols, we
recommend that you enable this switch. Otherwise, you should evaluate the devices in your network
and consider disabling support for SSLv3, TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 protocols using this switch.
FTMODE—Use this switch to enable/disable Fast Termination. When enabled, AirDefense internally
adjusts various operating parameters and configurations to support Fast Termination.
SPOOF—Use this switch to enable/disable AirDefense's new MAC Spoof Detection algorithm.
This algorithm uses Forensic data and forensic queries to raise the new "MAC Spoof Detected"
alarm. If you are not interested in this new alarm, we recommend you disable this alarm using this
switch. By default, this switch is enabled.
