Manage Vulnerable SSIDs
Configure and manage a list of vulnerable SSIDs using the Configuration>WIPS>Advanced
Settings>Vulnerable SSIDs option.
APs have well known default SSIDs and many users may not change these SSIDs when deploying the
APs. Therefore it is highly likely that APs using default SSIDs are present in the enterprise neighborhood.
If an enterprise Client probes for a default SSID, it is at risk of connecting to the neighborhood AP without
the user necessarily knowing about it. Also if an enterprise AP uses a default SSID, such an AP may
attract undesirable clients to connect to it.
