Intrusion Detection
Even if an unauthorized wireless user is denied access to a WLAN, he or she
can launch attacks. For example, he or she can flood RPs with probe requests
or pose as another user and cause that user denial of service (DoS). You can
implement a variety of attack checks on the Wireless Edge Services xl Module
that guard against malicious attacks from any wireless user. For more infor-
mation, see Chapter 13: Wireless Network Management.
