Configuring Wireless Intrusion Prevention
ZoneDirector provides several built-in intrusion prevention features designed to protect
the wireless network from security threats such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and
allow you to customize the actions to take and the notifications you would like to receive
when each of the different threat types is detected.
DoS Protection
Two options are provided to protect the wireless network from Denial of Service attacks.
To configure the DoS protection options:
1.
