Configuring Wireless Intrusion Protection and Detection Levels
WIP offers a wide selection of intrusion detection and protection features to protect the network against
wireless threats.
Like most other security-related features of the Instant network, the WIP can be configured on the W-IAP.
You can configure the following options:
l Infrastructure Detection Policies—Specifies the policy for detecting wireless attacks on access points.
l Client Detection Policies—Specifies the policy for detecting wireless attacks on clients.
l Infrastructure Protection Policies—Specifies the policy for protecting access points from wireless
attacks.
l Client Protection Policies—Specifies the policy for protecting clients from wireless attacks.
l Containment Methods—Prevents unauthorized stations from connecting to your Instant network.
Each of these options contains several default levels that enable different sets of policies. An administrator can
customize, enable, or disable these options accordingly.
The detection levels can be configured using the IDS window. To view the IDS window, click More > IDS link on
the Instant main window.
The following levels of detection can be configured in the WIP Detection page:
l Off
l Low
l Medium
l High
