Configuring Wireless Intrusion Protection

AP learning allows the system to classify all newly discovered APs as valid APs. By default, AP 
learning is not enabled and all newly discovered APs are classified as interfering APs. You can 
enable or disable AP learning from the browser interface.

To enable or disable AP learning:

1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced > Security > Rogue AP page on the master 

WFS709TP (

).

2. Enable or disable AP learning.

•

To enable AP learning, select the option “Mark All New Access Points as Valid Access 
Points”

•

To disable AP learning, deselect this option.

3. Click Apply.

If AP learning is enabled, every newly discovered AP is classified as a valid AP. If AP learning is 
disabled, every newly discovered AP is classified as an interfering AP. You can also manually 
classify individual APs. For example, if you know about an interfering AP, you can manually 
reclassify it as a known interfering AP. You can manually classify an AP into one of the following 
categories:

Note: Enabling AP learning is useful when you install the WFS709TP in an environment 

with an existing third-party wireless network, especially if there are a large number 
of installed APs. Leave AP learning enabled until all APs in the network have been 
detected and classified as valid. Then disable AP learning and reclassify any 
unknown APs as interfering.
