Classification

The Classification screen displays a summary of classified devices. The table shows the number of access points
and clients classified as trusted and untrusted by MAC addresses in your networks. It also shows the number of
allowed vendors, SSIDs, and channels. You may uncheck the Receive classification rules to disable a client
from receiving the network's current classification rules. The default condition is checked, so each client always
receives classification rules in synchronization with other clients in the network. You may also click the
Synchronize button to send out the classification rules to other users within your monitored wireless networks.
Click Next to configure your trusted networks.
NOTE: You will have to log in with a valid Security Monitor account to view this screen and all
remaining screens in Chapter 6.
NOTE: Classification rules: Access Points and Clients can be classified as trusted or
untrusted, and Access Points can be additionally classified by MAC address, SSID, vendor, or
channel.
AP Classification
The AP Classification Screen lets you classify the existing Access Points as Trusted or Untrusted. A Trusted device
is one that has been identified by the system administrator to be known and legitimate. An Untrusted device is
one that is known and not legitimate. This device could be a malicious device or simply a neighborhood device
not part of the network. Remaining devices that have not been classified can be considered Unclassified or
Unknown.
The left table lists the available unclassified wireless access points with their SSIDs, channels and MAC
Addresses. The top right table lists the Access Points that have been classified as Trusted. The lower right table
lists the Access Points that have been classified as Untrusted.
You may check any items from the Unclassified Access Points table and click the arrow to classify your
selections into Trusted Access Points or Untrusted Access Points.
You may click Refresh to refresh the list, Clear to clear selected items on the list, or Back to go to the previous
screen.
