6.3 MU Intrusion Detection

Unauthorized attempts to access the switch managed LAN by MUs is a significant threat to the network, and
one that is very pervasive currently. The switch has several means to protect against threats from MUs trying
to find network vulnerabilities.
Use the switch's Mobile Unit Intrusion Detection
information. The Mobile Unit Intrusion Detection screen provides the following functionalities:
•

Configuring MU Intrusion Detection

• Viewing Filtered MUs
6.3.1 Configuring MU Intrusion Detection
To configure MU intrusion detection:
1. Select Security
Displays the MAC Address of each Unapproved AP. These MAC addresses are
access points observed on the network (by associated MUs), but have yet to be
added to the list of approved APs, and are therefore interpreted as a threat on the
network.
Displays the numerical value for the detecting MU.
Displays the time (in seconds) the Unapproved AP was last seen on the network
by the detecting MU. Use this interval to determine whether the detected MU is
still a viable threat.
Displays the ESSID of each Unapproved AP. These ESSIDs are device ESSIDs
observed on the network, but have yet to be added to the list of Approved APs and
are therefore interpreted as a threat.
