Field Default Description
IDS Profile default
Selects the IDS profile to be associated with the new AP Group. The drop-
down menu contains these options:
l ids-disabled
l ids-high-setting
l ids -low-setting (the default)
l ids-medium-setting
The IDS profiles configure the AP’s Intrusion Detection System features,
which detect and disable rogue APs and other devices that can
potentially disrupt network operations. An AP is considered to be a rogue
AP if it is both unauthorized and plugged into the wired side of the
network. An AP is considered to be an interfering AP if it is seen in the RF
environment but is not connected to the wired network.
Select the pencil icon next to this field to display the Profiles > IDS page
and adjust these settings as desired.
