Configure IDS

Use the switches under IDS to enable AirDefense to work with some specific features. The following configurations are available under IDS:

  • SSLv3—Use this switch to enable/disable support for SSLv3, TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 protocols. Recently these protocols were found vulnerable and we recommend that you do not use them. However, if your deployment has access points and sensors that support these protocols, we recommend that you enable this switch. Otherwise, you should evaluate the devices in your network and consider disabling support for SSLv3, TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 protocols using this switch.
  • FTMODE—Use this switch to enable/disable Fast Termination. When enabled, AirDefense internally adjusts various operating parameters and configurations to support Fast Termination.
  • SPOOF—Use this switch to enable/disable AirDefense's new MAC Spoof Detection algorithm. This algorithm uses Forensic data and forensic queries to raise the new "MAC Spoof Detected" alarm. If you are not interested in this new alarm, we recommend you disable this alarm using this switch. By default, this switch is enabled.
