Containment Methods
You can enable wired and wireless containments to prevent unauthorized stations from connecting to your
Instant network.
Instant supports the following types of containment mechanisms:
Wired containment—When enabled, Dell Access Points will generate ARP packets on the wired network to
contain wireless attacks.
Wireless containment- When enabled, the system will attempt to disconnect all clients that are connected or
attempting to connect to the identified Access Point.
None: Disables all the containment mechanisms.
Deauthenticate only: With deauthentication containment, the Access Point or client is contained by
disrupting the client association on the wireless interface.
Tarpit containment: With Tarpit containment, the Access Point is contained by luring clients that are
attempting to associate with it to a tarpit. The tarpit can be on the same channel or a different channel as
the Access Point being contained.
