Rf Domain Sensor Configuration - Motorola WiNG 5 System Reference Manual

5.2 RF Domain Sensor Configuration

The Motorola Solutions Wireless Intrusion Protection System (WIPS) protects wireless client and access point radio traffic
from attacks and unauthorized access. WIPS provides tools for standards compliance and around-the-clock wireless
network security in a distributed environment. WIPS allows administrators to identify and accurately locate attacks, rogue
devices and network vulnerabilities in real time and permits both a wired and wireless lockdown of wireless device
connections upon acknowledgement of a threat.
In addition to dedicated Motorola Solutions AirDefense sensors, an access point radio can function as a sensor and upload
information to a dedicated WIPS server (external to the access point). Unique WIPS server configurations can be used to
ensure a WIPS server configuration is available to support the unique data protection needs of a RF Domain.
WIPS is not supported on a WLAN basis, rather sensor functionality is supported on the access point radio(s) available to
each managed WLAN. When an access point radio is functioning as a WIPS sensor, it's able to scan in sensor mode across
all legal channels within the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz band. Sensor functionality is not provided by the access point alone. The
access point works in conjunction with a dedicated WIPS server.
To define a WIPS server configuration used with the access point's RF Domain:
1. Select Configuration
