Extreme AirDefense Integration

A cloud-managed access point (AP) can integrate with the Extreme AirDefense® Service Platform, which 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 ExtremeCloud while ExtremeCloud 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.

Licensing issues and reporting are handled on the AirDefense servers. Traffic is configured on the APs through ExtremeCloud.

Configure an AirDefense profile by selecting Configure > Sites > Air Defense. The profile is assigned to all APs at the site.

If a site is deleted, the associated profile is deleted.
