13.1.8 WIPS Summary
System Statistics
The Wireless Intrusion Protection System (WIPS) provides continuous protection against wireless threats and acts as an
additional layer of security complementing wireless VPNs and existing encryption and authentication policies. Controllers and
service platforms support WIPS through the use of dedicated sensor devices, designed to actively detect and locate
unauthorized AP devices. After detection, they use mitigation techniques to block devices using manual termination, air
lockdown or port suppression.
The WIPS Summary screen lists RF Domains residing in the system and reports the number of unauthorized and interfering
devices contributing to the potential poor performance of the RF Domain’s network traffic. Additionally, the number of WIPS
events reported by each RF Domain is also listed to help an administrator better mitigate risks to the network.
To review and assess the impact of rogue and interfering access points, as well as the occurrence of WIPS events within the
controller or service platform’s managed system:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select the System node from the left navigation pane.
Cluster/Hostname Lists the administrator assigned cluster hostname whose license count and utilization is
listed and tallied for access points.

current licenses.
Borrowed AAP Licenses Displays the number of Adaptive Access Point licenses temporarily borrowed from a
cluster member to compensate for an AAP license deficiency.
Total AAP Licenses Displays the total number of Adaptive Access Point connection licenses currently
available to clustered devices.
AAP Licenses Usage Lists the number of Adaptive Access Point connections currently utilized out of the total
available under the terms of the current licenses.
