The Client Name Configuration pane displays clients connected to RF Domain member access points adopted by networked controllers or service platforms. Use the screen to associate administrator assigned client names to specific connected client MAC addresses for improved client management.
The WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Protection System) protects clients and access point radio traffic from attacks and unauthorized wireless network 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 wired and wireless device lockdowns upon threat acknowledgement.
In addition to dedicated AirDefense sensors, an access point radio can function as a sensor and upload information to an external WIPS server. Unique WIPS server configurations can be used by RF Domains to ensure a WIPS server configuration is available to support the unique data protection needs of individual RF Domains.
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 is able to scan (in sensor mode) across all legal channels within the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Sensor support requires an AirDefense WIPS Server on the network. Sensor functionality is not provided by the access point alone. The access point works in conjunction with a dedicated WIPS server.
The following APs can also function as an ExtremeLocation sensor: AP3000, AP3000X, AP5010, AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i, AP 7602, AP-7612, AP 7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP-8163, AP-8533
ExtremeLocation is a highly scalable indoor locationing platform that gathers location-related analytics, such as visitor trends, peak and off-peak times, dwell time, heat-maps, etc. to enable entrepreneurs deeper visibility at a venue. To enable the location tracking system, the ExtremeLocation server should be up and running and the RF Domain Sensor configuration should point to the ExtremeLocation server.
