278 Configuring the Wireless Array
Honeypots
The Xirrus honeypot SSID feature prevents the airwaves from being crowded
with probes for named SSIDs. These probes are automatically generated by some
popular wireless devices. When you create and enable a honeypot SSID on an
Array, it responds to any station probe looking for a named open SSID
(unencrypted and unauthenticated) that is not configured on the Array. For more
details, see “High Density 2.4G Enhancement—Honeypot SSID” on page 261.
This page allows you to create a honeypot SSID, enter a whitelist of SSID names
that are not to be honeypotted, and define alternate names for the SSID that will
be broadcast instead of “honeypot”.

Use the honeypot feature carefully as it could interfere with legitimate
SSIDs.
