Configuring WIPS Server Settings
An access point radio can function as a Wireless Intrusion Protection System (WIPS) sensor and upload
sensor mode operation information to its parent WIPS Server. Either or both of the access point’s radios
can be set as a WIPS sensor. When an access point radio is functioning as a WIPS sensor, it is able to
scan in sensor mode across all available channels.
NOTE
WIPS support requires a Motorola AirDefense WIPS Server on the network. WIPS functionality is not
provided by the access point alone. The access point works in conjunction with a dedicated WIPS server.
Additionally, use the WIPS screen to define a primary and alternate WIPS server to submit event
information for use within the WIPS console for device management and potential threat notification.
