WIPS
A Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) monitors the radio spectrum for the presence of
unauthorized access points and take measures to prevent an intrusion. Unauthorized attempts to
access a controller or service platform managed WLAN is generally accompanied by anomalous
behavior as intruding clients try to find network vulnerabilities. Basic forms of this behavior can be
monitored and reported without a dedicated WIPS. When the parameters exceed a configurable
threshold, a SNMP trap is generated that reports the results via management interfaces.
The WIPS screens provide details about the blacklisted clients (unauthorized access points)
intruded into the network. Details include the name of the blacklisted client, the time when the
client was blacklisted, the total time the client remained in the network, etc. The screen also
provides WIPS event details.
