Configuring AirDefense

The AP integrates with the AirDefense Service Platform (ADSP), offering an additional profile option that allows the AP to function as an AirDefense sensor or to act as a sensor and retain the ability to forward traffic.

In dedicated sensor mode, the AP operates independently from the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller while the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller continues to see the AP and display the AP Role as a dedicated AirDefense sensor. In its role as a dedicated sensor, the AP does not report statistics to the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller.
