Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) Event Reporting to W-AirWave
W-AirWave supports Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) Event Reporting, which is provided by Instant.
This includes WIDS classification integration with the Rogue Access Point Detection Software (RAPIDS) 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 W-IAPs 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 forInstant
W-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.

PSK-Based and Certificate-Based Authentication
On the DHCP server, two formats for option 43 are supported:
l <organization>,<ams-ip>,<ams-key>—If you select this format, the W-IAP authenticates the AMP server
using the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) login process.
l <organization>,<ams-domain>—If you select this format, the W-IAP resolves the W-AirWave domain
name into one or two IP addresses as W-AirWave Primary or W-AirWave Backup, and then W-IAP starts a
certificate-based authentication with AMP server, instead of the PSK login. When the AMP domain name is
used, the W-IAP performs certificate-based authentication with the AMP server. The W-IAP initiates a Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) connection with the W-AirWave server. The W-AirWave server verifies the signature and
public key certificate from the W-IAP. If the signature matches, the W-AirWave responds to the W-IAP with
the login request.
Configurable Port for W-IAP and W-AirWave Management Server Communication
You can now customize the port number of the AMP server through the server_host:server_port format, for
example, amp.aruba.com:4343.
