Configuring Anomaly Detection

AP detection protects your network against unauthorized APs. The Wireless

Edge Services xl Module can also guard against potentially malicious stations.

Using anomaly detection, the module monitors stations for suspicious behav-

ior including:

■ sending too many association requests

■ sending too many probe requests

Such behavior can signal a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.

When a station exhibits one of these potentially harmful behaviors, the module

filters all traffic from it for a certain period.

To configure anomaly detection, follow these steps:

1. Select Special Features > Intrusion Detection > Configuration.
