Wireless Intrusion Prevention
The ArubaOS Wireless Intrusion Prevention (WIP) features and configurations are discussed in this chapter.
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 Dell network, the WIP configuration is done
on the master controller in the network.
To use most of the features described in this chapter, you must install a Wireless Intrusion Protection
(RFprotect) license on all controllers in your network. If you install a RFprotect license on a master controller
only, an AP or AM terminated on a local controller will not provide the WIP features.
These features do not require an RFprotect license:
l Rogue AP classification techniques other than AP classification rules
l Rogue containment
l Wired containment
l Wireless containment without Tarpit
For details on commands see the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.5.x Command Line Interface Guide.
