Wireless Intrusion Prevention
The AOS-W Wireless Intrusion Prevention (WIP) features and configurations are discussed in this chapter. WIP
offers a wide selection of intrusion detection and protection features to protect the network against wireless
threats. Like most other security-related features of the Alcatel-Lucent network, the WIP configuration is done
on the master switch in the network.
To use most of the features described in this chapter, you must install a Wireless Intrusion Protection
(RFprotect) license on all switches in your network. If you install a RFprotect license on a master switch only, an
AP or AM terminated on a local switch will not provide the WIP features.
These features do not require an RFprotect license:
n Rogue AP classification techniques other than AP classification rules
n Rogue containment
n Wired containment
n Wireless containment without Tarpit
For details on commands see the AOS-W 6.5.3.x Command Line Interface Guide.
