network vulnerabilities in real time and permits both a wired and wireless lockdown of wireless
device connections upon acknowledgement of a threat.
An access point radio can function as a sensor and upload sensor mode operation information to a
dedicated WIPS server. WIPS is not supported on a WLAN basis, rather sensor functionality is
supported on the access point radio(s) available to each WLAN. When an access point radio is
functioning as a WIPS sensor, it is able to scan in sensor mode across all channels within the 2.4 and
5.0 GHz bands.
The following is a network topology illustrating how a sensor functions within an access point
supported wireless network:
NOTE Sensor support requires a Motorola Solutions AirDefense WIPS Server
on the network. Sensor functionality is not provided by the access point
alone. The access point works in conjunction with a dedicated WIPS
server.
