When a radio fails or is faulty, a Smart RF policy can used provide automatic recovery by
instructing neighboring Access Points to increase their transmit power to compensate for the
coverage loss.
Once correct Access Point placement has been established, Smart-RF can optionally be
leveraged for automatic detector radio selection. Smart-RF uses detector radios to monitor RF
events and can be used to ensure adequate detector coverage is available. Manual detector
radio selection can also be made using visualizations from the Brocade LANPlanner tool.
For an overview of Smart RF and instructions on how to create a Smart RF policy that can be
used with a RF Domain, see
Smart RF Policy .
4. Define the following SMART RF parameters for the RF Domain:
5. Define the following Smart Scan values:
6. Assign an existing Wireless IPS (WIPS) policy to the RF Domain, or if none exist create a new
one.
Use the WIPS Policy drop-down menu to navigate to existing WIPS policies and select the one best
suited to the function of the RF Domain. If none exist, select the Create icon and provide the
required parameters to define a WIPS configuration that can be used with the RF Domain. An
existing policy can be edited by selecting the policy from the drop-down menu and selecting the Edit
icon.
A WIPS policy provides protection against wireless threats and acts as a key layer of security
complementing wireless VPNs, encryption and authentication. a WIPS policy uses a dedicated
sensor for actively detecting and locating rogue AP devices. After detection, WIPS uses
mitigation techniques to block the devices by manual termination, air lockdown, or port
suppression.
For an overview of WIPS and instructions on how to create a WIPS policy that can be used with
a RF Domain, see
Configuring a WIPS Policy .
SMART RF Policy Assign an existing Smart RF Policy to the RF Domain, or if none exist create a new one.
Use the Smart RF Policy drop-down menu to navigate to existing Smart RF policies and select the one
best suited to the function of the RF Domain. If none exist, select the Create icon and provide the
required parameters to define a Smart RF configuration that can be used with the RF Domain. An
existing policy can be edited by selecting the policy from the drop-down menu and selecting the Edit
icon.
