Cisco Adaptive wIPS Introduction

The figure below explains the radio’s behavior. When a radio is on its serving channel it is considered
“on-channel”, when the radio is scanning other channels, it is considered “off-channel”.
“on-channel”, when the radio is scanning other channels, it is considered “off-channel”.
An AP in local mode is mostly “on-channel”, making it difficult to detect attackers “off-channel”. A
monitor mode AP is always “off-channel”, but cannot server clients, the WSM module provides a great
combination of both.
