Wireless Network Management
AP Detection
The ProCurve RPs 210, 220, and 230 can listen for such unauthorized APs,
collecting information about them to be sent to the Wireless Edge Services xl
Module.
The module helps you to manage this information. You can even configure the
module to automatically send an alarm when an unauthorized AP is detected.
Note AP detection tracks devices that are not connected, either directly or indi-
rectly, to the Wireless Edge Services xl Module. It does not prevent unautho-
rized RPs from being adopted. To control RPs that connect to your network,
you must configure the module’s adoption settings as described in Chapter 2:
Configuring the ProCurve Wireless Services xl Module.
You both enable and manage AP detection from the Special Features >
Intrusion Detection screen, which is shown in Figure 6-11.
Figure 6-11. Configuring and Managing AP Detection
Enabling AP Detection
By default, AP detection is disabled. You can enable it in two ways.
If you want to quickly enable the feature without customizing any settings,
select Special Features and check the AP Detection box (as shown in
Figure 6-12.)
