Access Point Statistics
A Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) monitors the radio spectrum for the presence of unauthorized access
points and take measures to prevent an intrusion. Unauthorized attempts to access the WLAN is generally
accompanied by anomalous behavior as intruding clients try to find network vulnerabilities. Basic forms of this
behavior can be monitored and reported without a dedicated WIPS. When the parameters exceed a configurable
threshold, a SNMP trap is generated that reports the results via management interfaces.
The WIPS screen provides details about the blacklisted clients (unauthorized access points) intruded into the network.
The details include the name of the blacklisted client, the time when the client was blacklisted, the total time the
client remained in the network, etc. The screen also provides WIPS event details.
