Viewing the List of Prohibited APs

The list of Prohibited APs are APs that you have manually added to the Radar database so that the Radar WIDS-WIPS system will detect them and, if so configured, protect against them.

Manually add an AP to the list of Prohibited APs, when a non-authorized AP is a threat, but it cannot be detected by existing threat criteria.

To view a list of Prohibited APs:

  1. From the top menu, click Radar.
