548 Rogue Detection and Countermeasures
320657-A
Configuring an Ignore List
By default, when countermeasures are enabled, WSS Software considers any non-Nortel transmitter to be a rogue device
and can send countermeasures to prevent clients from using that device. To prevent WSS Software from sending coun-
termeasures against a friendly device, add the device to the known devices list:
To add a device to the ignore list, use the following command:
set rfdetect ignore mac-addr
The mac-addr is the BSSID of the device you want to ignore.
To ignore BSSID aa:bb:cc:11:22:33 during all RF scans, type the following command:
2370# set rfdetect ignore aa:bb:cc:11:22:33
success: MAC aa:bb:cc:11:22:33 is now ignored.
To remove a BSSID from the ignore list, use the following command:
clear rfdetect ignore mac-addr
To display the ignore list, use the following command:
show rfdetect ignore
The following command displays an ignore list containing two BSSIDs:
23x0# show rfdetect ignore
Total number of entries: 2
Ignore MAC

Enabling Countermeasures
Note. If you try to initiate countermeasures against a device on the ignore list, the ignore
list takes precedence and WSS Software does not issue the countermeasures.
Countermeasures apply only to rogue devices.
Caution! Countermeasures affect wireless service on a radio. When an AP radio is
sending countermeasures, the radio is disabled for use by network traffic, until the radio
finishes sending the countermeasures.
