Disabling Or Reenabling Active Scan; Enabling Ap Signatures - Nortel 2300 Series Configuration Manual

Countermeasures are disabled by default. You can enable them on an individual radio profile basis. To enable counter-
measures on a radio profile, use the following command:
set radio-profile name countermeasures {all | rogue}
The all option enables or disables countermeasures for rogues and for interfering devices. This option is equivalent to
the scope of rogue detection in WSS Software Version 3.x. The rogue option enables or disables countermeasures for
rogues only.
The following command enables countermeasures in radio profile radprof3 for rogues only:
23x0# set radio-profile radprof3 countermeasures rogue
success: change accepted.
To disable countermeasures on a radio profile, use the following command:
clear radio-profile name countermeasures
The following command disables countermeasures in radio profile radprof3:
23x0# clear radio-profile radprof3 countermeasures
success: change accepted.

Disabling or Reenabling Active Scan

When active scanning is enabled, the AP radios managed by the switch look for rogue devices by sending probe any
frames (probes with a null SSID name), to solicit probe responses from other APs.
Active scan is enabled by default. You can disable or reenable the feature on an individual radio profile basis. To disable
or reenable active scan on a radio profile, use the following command:
set radio-profile name active-scan {enable | disable}
The following command disables active scan in radio profile radprof3:
23x0# set radio-profile radprof3 active-scan disable
success: change accepted.

Enabling AP Signatures

An AP signature is a set of bits in a management frame sent by an AP that identifies that AP to WSS Software. If
someone attempts to spoof management packets from a Nortel AP, WSS Software can detect the spoof attempt.
AP signatures are disabled by default. To enable or disable them, use the following command:
set rfdetect signature {enable | disable}
