Wireless Controller
Invalid SSID from a managed AP: This test checks whether a known managed AP
is sending an unexpected SSID. The SSID reported in the RF Scan is compared to the
list of all configured SSIDs that are used by the profil e assigned to the managed AP.
If the detected SSID doesn't match any configured SSID then the AP is marked as
rogue.
AP is operating on an illegal channel: The purpose of this test is to detect hackers
or incorrectly configured devices that are operating o n channels that are not legal in
the country where the wireless system is set up. Note: In order for the wireless system
to detect this threat, the wireless network must contain one or more radios that
operate in sentry mode.
Standalone AP with unexpected configuration: If the AP is classified as a known
standalone AP, then the controller checks whether the AP is operating with the
expected configuration parameters. You configure the expected parameters for the
standalone AP in the local or RADIUS Valid AP database. This test may detect
network misconfiguration as well as potential intrusion attempts. The following
parameters are checked:
Unexpected WDS device detected on network: If the AP is classified as a Managed
or Unknown AP and wireless distribution system (WDS) traffic is detected on the
AP, then the AP is considered to be Rogue. Only stand -alone APs that are explicitly
allowed to operate in WDS mode are not reported as rogues by this test.
Unmanaged AP detected on wired network: This test checks whether the AP is
detected on the wired network. If the AP state is Unknown, then the test changes the
AP state to Rogue. The flag indicating whether AP is detected on the wired network
is reported as part of the RF Scan report. If AP is managed and is detected
on the network then the controller simply reports this fact and doesn't change the AP
state to Rogue. In order for the wireless system to detect this threat, the wireless
network must contain one or more radios that operate in sentry mode
