Motorola Series Switch WS5100 - Manual (Page 33)

Overview 1-23
SNMP Trap on discovery
An SNMP trap is sent for each detected and Rogue AP. Rogue APs are only detected, and notification is
provided via a SNMP trap.
Authorized AP Lists
The switch allows you to configure a list of authorized access ports based on their MAC addresses. The
switch evaluates the APs against the configured authorized list after obtaining Rogue AP information from
one of the 2 mechanisms as mentioned in Rogue AP Detection on page 1-22.
Rogue AP Report
After determining which are authorized APs and which are Rogue, the switch prepares a report.
1.2.5.11 ACLs
ACLs control access to the network through a set of rules. Each rule specifies an action taken when a packet
matches the given set of rules. If the action is deny, the packet is dropped, if the action is permit, the packet
is allowed, if the action is to mark, the packet is tagged for priority. The switch supports the following types
of ACLs:
• IP Standard ACLs
• IP Extended ACLs
• MAC Extended ACLs
• Wireless LAN ACLs
ACLs are identified by either a number or a name (the exception being MAC extended ACLs which take only
name as their identifier). Numbers are predefined for IP Standard and Extended ACLs, whereas a name can
be any valid alphanumeric string not exceeding 64 characters. With numbered ACLs, the rule parameters
have to be specified on the same command line along with the ACL identifier. For named ACLs, rules are
configured within a separate CLI context. For information on creating an ACL, see
Configuring ACLs on page 6-16.
1.2.5.12 Local Radius Server
Radius is a common authentication protocol utilized by the 802.1x wireless security standard. Radius
improves the WEP encryption key standard, in conjunction with other security methods such as EAP-PEAP.
The switch has one onboard Radius server. For information on configuring the switch’s resident Radius
Server, see Configuring the Radius Server on page 6-62.
1.2.5.13 IPSec VPN
IP Sec is a security protocol providing authentication and encryption over the Internet. Unlike SSL (which
provides services at layer 4 and secures two applications), IPsec works at layer 3 and secures everything in
the network. Also unlike SSL (which is typically built into the Web browser), IPsec requires a client
installation. IPsec can access both Web and non-Web applications, whereas SSL requires workarounds for
non-Web access such as file sharing and backup.
A VPN is used to provide secure access between two subnets separated by an unsecured network. There are
two types of VPNs:
NOTE: Wired side scanning for Rogue APs using WNMP is not supported. Similarly,
Radius lookup for approved AP is not provided.
