Wi-Fi Array
Configuring the Wi-Fi Array 297
• Automatically block unknown rogue APs with WEP or no
encryption.
5. Auto Block Network Types: Select rogues to automatically block by
applying the criteria above only to networks of the type specified below.
The choices are:
• All — the unknown rogues may be part of any wireless network.
• IBSS/AD Hoc only — only consider auto blocking rogues if they
belong to an ad hoc wireless network (a network of client devices
without a controlling Access Point, also called an Independent Basic
Service Set — IBSS).
• ESS/Infrastructure only — only consider auto blocking rogue APs if
they are in infrastructure mode rather than ad hoc mode.
RF Resilience
6. Radio Assurance Mode: When this mode is enabled, IAP abg(n)2
performs loopback tests on the Array. This mode requires Intrusion
Detection to be set to Standard (Step 1) to enable abg(n)2’s self-
monitoring functions. It also requires abg(n)2 to be set to monitoring
mode (see “Enabling Monitoring on the Array” on page 440).
Operation of Radio Assurance mode is described in detail in “Array
Monitor and Radio Assurance Capabilities” on page 440.
The Radio Assurance mode scans and sends out probe requests on each
channel, in turn. It listens for all probe responses and beacons. These tests
are performed continuously (24/7). If no beacons or probe responses are
observed from a radio for a predetermined period, Radio Assurance
mode will take action according to the preference that you have specified:
• Failure alerts only — The Array will issue alerts in the Syslog, but
will not initiate repairs or reboots.
• Failure alerts & repairs, but no reboots — The Array will issue alerts
and perform resets of one or all of the radios if needed.
• Failure alerts & repairs & reboots if needed — The Array will issue
alerts, perform resets, and schedule reboots if needed.
