Procedure for Configuring Advanced RF Settings
RF Intrusion Detection
1. Intrusion Detection: This option allows you to establish the intrusion
detection method, either Standard or Advanced, or you can choose Off to
disable this feature. See “Array Monitor and Radio Assurance
Capabilities” on page 406 for more information.
• Standard—enables the abg(n)2 radio as a monitor which collects
Rogue AP information.
• Advanced—this option works in conjunction with the Xirrus Defense
Module intrusion detection software (XDM). In this mode, the built-
in monitor radio (IAP abg(n)2) functions as an RF threat sensor. Self-
monitoring is not enabled.
• Off—IAP abg(n)2 does not function as a monitor.
2. Auto Block Unknown Rogue APs: Enable or disable auto blocking (see
“About Blocking Rogue APs” on page 276). Note that in order to set Auto
Block RSSI and Auto Block Level, you must set Auto Block to On, and
click Apply. Then the remaining Auto Block fields will be active.
3. Auto Block RSSI: Set the minimum RSSI for rogue APs to be blocked.
APs with lower RSSI values will not be blocked. They are assumed to be
farther away, and probably belonging to neighbors and posing a minimal
threat.
4. Auto Block Level: Select rogue APs to block based on the level of
encryption that they are using. The choices are:
• Automatically block unknown rogue APs regardless of encryption.
• Automatically block unknown rogue APs with no encryption.
• Automatically block unknown rogue APs with WEP or no
encryption.
