6.2.1 Enabling and Configuring AP Detection

Use the

Configuration

screen to enable the switch to detect potentially hostile access points, set the

number of detected APs allowed and define the timeout and threshold values used for detection. The switch
enables both access ports and MUs to scan and detect access points within the switch managed network.
Continually re-validating the credentials of associated access points reduces the possibility of an access
point hacking into the switch managed network.

To configure AP Detection:

1. Select

Security

>

Access Port Intrusion Detection

from the main menu.

2. Select the

Configuration

tab.
