5.4 Configuring WIPS Server Settings
With this most recent release of the access point firmware, 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.
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.
To define the attributes of the WIPS Server:
1. Select
Network Configuration
->
Wireless
->
WIPS
from the access point menu tree.
