802.11n Support

Brocade provides full life-cycle support for either a new or existing 802.11n mobility deployment,

from network design to day-to-day support. For information on deploying your 802.11n radio, see

Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page 5-167.

Sensor Support

The Brocade Wireless Intrusion Protection System (WIPS) protects your wireless network, mobile

devices and traffic from attacks and unauthorized access. WIPS provides tools for standards

compliance and around-the-clock 802.11a/b/g wireless network security in a distributed

environment. WIPS allows administrators to identify and accurately locate attacks, rogue devices

and network vulnerabilities in real time and permits both a wired and wireless lockdown of wireless

device connections upon acknowledgement of a threat.

An access point radio can function as a sensor and upload sensor mode operation information to a

dedicated WIPS server. WIPS is not supported on a WLAN basis, rather sensor functionality is

supported on the access point radio(s) available to each WLAN. When an access point radio is

functioning as a WIPS sensor, it is able to scan in sensor mode across all channels within the 2.4

and 5.0 GHz bands.

NOTE

Sensor support requires a Brocade AirDefense WIPS Server on the network. Sensor functionality is

not provided by the access point alone. The access point works in conjunction with a dedicated WIPS

server. For information on configuring an AirDefense server for optimal use with an access point in

sensor mode, go to

http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do, select AirDefense and

download the Brocade AirDefense Enterprise 7.3.3 Users Guide.

supported wireless network:
