416 HiPath Wireless Controller, Access Points and Convergence Software V7.11, User Guide
• Runs an Analysis Engine that processes the scan data from the data collector
through algorithms that make decisions about whether any of the detected
APs or clients are rogue APs or are running in an unsecure environment (for
example, ad-hoc mode).
Note: In a network with more than one HiPath Wireless Controller, it is not
necessary for the data collector to be running on the same controller as the
Analysis Engine. One controller can be a dedicated Analysis Engine while the
other controllers run data collector functionality. No more than one Analysis
Engine can be running at a time. You must ensure that the controllers are all
routable.
