6.2 AP Intrusion Detection
Use the Access Point Detection menu options to view and configure network related IP information. The

• Enabling and Configuring AP Detection
• Approved APs (Reported by APs)
• Unapproved APs (Reported by APs)
• Unapproved APs (Reported by MUs)
6.2.1 Enabling and Configuring AP Detection
Use the Configuration screen to allow the switch to detect potentially hostile access points, set the number
of detected APs allowed and define the timeout and threshold values used for detection. The switch can
enable both access ports and MUs to scan and detect access points within the switch managed network.
Continually re-validating the credentials of associated devices reduces the possibility of an access point
hacking into the switch managed network.
To configure AP Detection:
1. Select Security > Access Port Intrusion Detection from the main menu.
2. Select the Configuration tab.
3. Enable AP assisted scanning and timeout intervals as required.
Enable Select the Enable checkbox to enable associated access ports to
detect potentially hostile access points (the definition of which
defined by you). Once detected, the access points can be added to
a list of APs either approved or denied from interoperating within
the switch managed network.
