Add a WIPS Policy

The Extreme Networks Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) uses a variety of techniques for detecting unauthorized Access Points (APs) by checking for those that do not conform to specified criteria and ad hoc networks.
Note

Note

You can configure both AP-based WIPS services (Rogue Access Point Detection) and advanced Extreme AirDefense Essentials WIPS services. The second option requires that you first install an Extreme AirDefense Essentials on-premise service. Models that support AirDefense Essentials will default to that platform. All others will be on legacy WIPS.

Rogue Access Point Detection is supported on 802.11ac or older model APs ONLY.

Extreme AirDefense Essentials is supported on Wi-Fi6/6E (802.11ax) and newer model APs ONLY.

Use the following procedure to add a WIPS policy object for reuse in network policies.

  1. Go to Configure > Common Objects > Security > WIPS Policies.
  2. Select an existing WIPS policy object, and then select Edit, or select Add.
  3. Configure the settings.

    For more information, see WIPS Policy Settings.

  4. Select SAVE.
