158 Viewing Status on the Wireless AP
IDS Event Log Window
This status only window displays the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Event log,
listing any detected attacks on your network. For descriptions of the types of
attacks detected, as well as the settings to fine-tune IDS on the AP, please see
“Intrusion Detection” on page 372.
The displayed messages may be filtered by using the Filter Event setting, which
allows you to select just one type of intrusion to display. For example, you may
choose to display only beacon flood attacks.
