Configuring the probe table
Define enhanced probes to detect rogue MUs within the network. An adopted 7131N-FGR in
dependent mode transmits beacons and the MUs sends a probe request to the AP for association.
An adopted 7131N-FGR in dependent mode (on receipt of the probe request) sends a probe
response and associates to the MU.
When using an enhanced probe, an adopted 7131N-FGR in dependent mode sends a probe
response to the MU to associate. At the same time, the AP forwards the MU’s probe request
information to the switch. The switch maintains a table of the probe requests the adopted
7131N-FGR in dependent mode receives from MUs.
To configure enhanced beacons:
1. Select Security > Enhanced Probe/Beacon Table from the main menu tree.
2. Select the Probe Table tab.
3. Select the Enable Enhanced Probe Table checkbox to allow an AP to forward MU probe
requests to the switch.
4. Define a Window Time (from 10 to 60 seconds) to set an interval used by the AP to record MU
probe requests. The MU radio probe entry with the highest signal strength during the window
period is recorded in the table.
5. Set a Maximum Numbers of MU’s (from 0 to 512) to define the number of MUs configured in
the switch table. The default is 50 MUs.
