Enabling Map Signatures - 3Com WX1200 Reference Manual

A rogue is a device that is in the 3Com network but does not belong
there. An interfering device is not part of the 3Com network but also is
not a rogue. MSS classifies a device as an interfering device if no client
connected to the device has been detected communicating with any
network entity listed in the forwarding database (FDB) of any WX switch
in the Mobility Domain. Although the interfering device is not connected
to your network, the device might be causing RF interference with MAP
radios.
Countermeasures affect wireless service on a radio. When a MAP radio is
sending countermeasures, the radio is disabled for use by network traffic,
until the radio finishes sending the countermeasures.

Enabling MAP A MAP signature is a set of bits in a management frame sent by a MAP
Signatures that identifies that MAP to MSS. If someone attempts to spoof
management packets from a 3Com MAP, MSS can detect the spoof
attempt.

Rogue—Radios use countermeasures against devices classified by MSS
as rogues, but do not use countermeasures against devices classified
by MSS as interfering devices.
Configured—Configures radios to attack only devices specified in the
attack list on the switch (on-demand countermeasures). When this
option is used, devices found to be rogues by other means, such as
policy violations or by determining that the device is providing
connectivity to the wired network, are not attacked.
