Configuring Rogue AP Detection
It is possible that not all of the devices identified by the Altitude 35xx are operating legitimately within
the Altitude 35xx’s radio coverage area. A rogue AP is a device located nearby an authorized Extreme
Networks Altitude 35xx but recognized as having properties rendering its operation illegal and
threatening to the Altitude 35xx and the LAN. Rogue AP detection can be configured independently for
both Altitude 35xx 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios (if using a dual radio sku Altitude 35xx). A rogue
detection interval is the user-defined interval the Altitude 35xx waits to search for rogue APs.
Additionally, the access point does not detect rogue APs on illegal channels (channels not allowed by
the regulatory requirements of the country the access point is operating in).
The rogue detection interval is used in conjunction with Motorola MUs that identify themselves as
rogue detection capable to the access point. The detection interval defines how often the access point
requests these MUs to scan for a rogue AP. A shorter interval can affect the performance of the MU, but
it will also decrease the time it takes for the access point to scan for a rogue AP. A longer interval will
have less of an impact to the MUs, but it will increase the amount of time used to detect rogue APs.
Block Outbound
FTP Actions
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the Internet standard for
host-to-host mail transport. FTP generally operates over
TCP port 20 and 21. FTP filtering allows the blocking of
any or all outgoing FTP functions.
Check the box next to the command to disable the
command when using FTP across the Altitude 35xx’s WAN
port.
Storing Files—Blocks the request to transfer files sent
from the client across the AP’s WAN port to the FTP
server.
Retrieving Files—Blocks the request to retrieve files
sent from the FTP server across the AP’s WAN port to
the client.
Directory List—Blocks requests to retrieve a directory
listing sent from the client across the AP’s WAN port to
the FTP server.
Create Directory—Blocks requests to create directories
sent from the client across the AP’s WAN port to the
FTP server.
Change Directory—Blocks requests to change
directories sent from the client across the AP's WAN
port to the FTP server.
Passive Operation—Blocks passive mode FTP requests
sent from the client across the AP's WAN port to the
FTP server.
