Security Threats

The Radar reports provide information about security threats. Threat APs are APs that have been detected performing one or more types of attack on the authorized network.

Each AP defined on the controller has a text location attribute that can be set using the controller's GUI, CLI, and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent. By default the location attribute is empty for all APs. It is strongly recommended that you set the location attribute of each AP. The attribute should be set so that APs at the same location have exactly the same location attribute. For example all the APs on the 3rd floor of a building could have the same location, such as "Boston/123 4th street/3rd floor". The controller's multi-edit page provides a convenient way to assign groups of APs to the same location.

The types of threat recognized by the Radar WIDS-WIPS system include:
