176 | Using RAPIDS and Rogue Classification Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.6 | User Guide
Threat level and classification are both assigned to a device when a device matches a rule. Once classified, a device’s
classification and threat level change only if it is classified by a new rule or is manually changed. Threats levels can be
manually defined on the RAPIDS > Detail page when the RAPIDS classification is manually overridden or you can
edit the rule to have a higher threat level.
Viewing and Configuring RAPIDS Rules
To view the RAPIDS rules that are currently configured on AirWave, navigate to the RAPIDS > Rules page (Figure
119).

Reorder Drag and Drop Icon
Changes the sequence of rules in relation to each other. Select, then drag and drop, the icon
for any rule to move it up or down in relation to other rules. A revised sequence of rules must
be saved before rogues are classified in the revised sequence.
NOTE: The sequence of rules is very important for proper rogue classification. A device gets
classified by the first rule to which it complies, even if it conforms to additional rules later in
the sequence.
