IDS Statistics

The Xirrus Array employs a number of IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection System/

Intrusion Prevention System) strategies to detect and prevent malicious attacks on

the wireless network. This status-only window provides detailed intrusion

detection statistics for the selected IAP. Use the Display Averages checkbox at the

upper left to select the output format — check this option to express each statistic

as an average rate, or leave it blank to display raw counts.

Note that you must have Intrusion Detection Mode enabled to collect IDS

statistics. See “Intrusion Detection” on page 334. Information about IDS events is

discussed in the “IDS Event Log Window” on page 155

You can Refresh the data (update the window with the latest information) at any

time by clicking on the appropriate button. You can also click in the Auto Refresh
