Wireless Client Station Classifications
A wireless client station (STA) is classified as one of the following:
z Valid STA (VSTA)
A station that is part of the enterprise is a valid station. When an interfering
station receives 802.11 data frames from a VAP that is encrypted or is 802.11
unencrypted but VPN encrypted, it is marked as a VSTA.
z Interfering STA (ISTA)
A station that is not part of the enterprise is marked as an Interfering STA.
Every new STA is marked as ISTA.
z Dos STA (DSTA)
A station that should not be allowed any access to the Wireless LAN is marked
as a DoS STA. A station must be manually marked as a DSTA by the
administrator.
