Application Note

APPENDIX 1 – Note on Air Monitors
When ARM is enabled, AP’s will sample other channels to search for IDS policy violations (Rogue AP’s,
etc).
Air Monitors offer the capability to perform Advanced IDS scanning and remote packet capture on any
channel.
Following is a list of AM features available when WGL102/WAGL102 is running in AP mode with scanning
enabled:
- Wireless RMON stats for the channel AP is on.
- Packet Capture for the channel AP is on.
- Rogue detection/classification on all channels.
- STA classification on all channels.
- Signature analysis like Netstumbler/asleap/void11 on all channels.
- IDS Rate Analysis on the channel AP is on.
- IDS MAC OUI check for all channels.
- EAP Rate Analysis on the channel AP is on.
- Adhoc/Bridge detection on all channels.
- Threshold event generation on the channel AP is on.
- Interference detection on the channel AP is on.
- AP misconfiguration detection on all channels (Interfering AP Broadcasting an ESSID owned
by the Netgear Wireless).
- Fake AP flood detection on the channel AP is on.
APPENDIX 2 – Note on IRM
Early version of the manual list ARM as IRM, this is in reference to exactly the same feature and can be
considered errata. New versions of the manual, available online, have this mistake corrected.
