Configuring Wireless Intrusion Protection

12-5

If desired, you can specify the valid channels for an AP. This capability is primarily used when 
third-party APs are being used in the network, since the WFS709TP cannot configure the third-
party APs. If a valid AP is detected as misconfigured, the system will deny access to the 
misconfigured AP. In cases where someone gains configuration access to a third-party AP and 
changes the configuration, this policy is useful in blocking access to that AP until the 
configuration can be fixed.

An AP is classified as misconfigured if it does not meet configured valid channels. To configure 
protection for misconfigured APs, navigate to Configuration > Advanced > RF Policies > Policies 
> Misconfigured AP as shown in

Note: Use caution when enabling both “Mark Unknown APs as Rogue” and “Disable 

Users from Connecting to Rogue APs.” If the system is installed in an area where 
APs from neighboring locations can be detected, these two options will disable all 
APs in the area.
