Containment Methods
You can enable wired and wireless containments to prevent unauthorized stations from
connecting to your W-Instant network.
W-Instant supports the following types of containment mechanisms:
l Wired containment— When enabled, Dell Access Points generate ARP packets on the wired
network to contain wireless attacks.
l Wireless containment— When enabled, the system attempts to disconnect all clients that are
connected or attempting to connect to the identified Access Point.
n None— Disables all the containment mechanisms.
n Deauthenticate only— With deauthentication containment, the Access Point or client is
contained by disrupting the client association on the wireless interface.
n Tarpit containment— With Tarpit containment, the Access Point is contained by luring
clients that are attempting to associate with it to a tarpit. The tarpit can be on the same
channel or a different channel as the Access Point being contained.
