RF Domain Sensor Configuration
The Extreme Networks Wireless Intrusion Protection System (WIPS) protects wireless client and access
point radio traffic from attacks and unauthorized access. WIPS provides tools for standards compliance
and around-the-clock wireless network security in a distributed environment. WIPS allows
administrators to identify and accurately locate attacks, rogue devices and network vulnerabilities in
real time and permits both a wired and wireless lockdown of wireless device connections upon
acknowledgement of a threat.
In addition to dedicated Extreme Networks AirDefense sensors, an access point radio can function as a
sensor and upload information to a dedicated WIPS server (external to the access point). Unique WIPS
server configurations can be used to ensure a WIPS server configuration is available to support the
unique data protection needs of a RF Domain.
WIPS is not supported on a WLAN basis, rather sensor functionality is supported on the access point
radio(s) available to each managed WLAN. When an access point radio is functioning as a WIPS sensor,
it’s able to scan in sensor mode across all legal channels within the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz band. Sensor
functionality is not provided by the access point alone. The access point works in conjunction with a
dedicated WIPS server.
Location Assign the physical location of the RF Domain. This name could be as
specific as the floor of a building, or as generic as an entire site. The
location defines the physical area where a common set of access point
configurations are deployed and managed by the RF Domain policy.
Contact Provide the name of the contact email (or administrator) assigned to respond
to events created by or impacting the RF Domain.
Time Zone Set the geographic time zone for the RF Domain. The RF Domain can
contain unique country codes and time zone information to access points
deployed across different states or countries, thus making them ideal for
managing device configurations across different geographical deployments.
Country Define the two-digit country code set for the RF Domain. The country code
must be set accurately to avoid the policy’s illegal operation, as device
radios transmit in specific channels unique to the country of operation.
VLAN for Traffic
Control Select the check box to enable a spinner control used for specifying the
VLAN (within a range of 1 - 4,094) used for traffic control within this RF
Domain.
Update Interval Set a statistics update interval of 0 or 5-3600 seconds for updates retrieved
from the access point.
Window Index Use the spinner control to set a numerical index used as an identifier for
each RF Domain statistics defined.
Sample Interval Use the spinner control to define the interval (in seconds) used by the
access point to capture windowed statistics supporting the RF Domain
configuration. The default is 5 seconds.
Window Size Use the spinner control to set the number of samples used by the controller
to define RF Domain statistics. The default value is 3.
