Trending Reports
AirWave saves up to 14 months of actionable information, including network performance data and user roaming
patterns, so you can analyze how network usage and performance trends have changed over time. It also provides
detailed capacity reports with which you can plan the capacity and appropriate strategies for your organization.
Intrusion Detection System
AirWave provides advanced, rules-based rogue classification. It automatically detects rogue APs irrespective of
their location in the network and prevents authorized IAPs from being detected as rogue IAPs. It tracks and
correlates the IDS events to provide a complete picture of network security.
Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) Event Reporting to AirWave
AirWave supports Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) Event Reporting, which is provided by Instant. This
includes WIDS classification integration with the RAPIDS (Rogue Access Point Detection Software) module.
RAPIDS is a powerful and easy-to-use tool for automatic detection of unauthorized wireless devices. It supports
multiple methods of rogue detection and uses authorized wireless APs to report other devices within range.
The WIDS report cites the number of IDS events for devices that have experienced the most instances in the prior
24 hours and provides links to support additional analysis or configuration in response.
RF Visualization Support forInstant
AirWave supports RF visualization for Instant. The VisualRF module provides a real-time picture of the actual radio
environment of your wireless network and the ability to plan the wireless coverage of new sites. VisualRF uses
sophisticated RF fingerprinting to accurately display coverage patterns and calculate the location of every Instant
device in range. VisualRF provides graphical access to floor plans, client location, and RF visualization for floors,
buildings, and campuses that host your network.
