Onboard WIPS

Jeff_Roberts — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 04:28:00 GMT

I'm attempting to test WIPS on AP7522s and AP7632. The documentation I see assumes this will be used with Air Defense.
Isn't there an option to enable rogue detection on an access point and have it send an alert via the Event Management Policy without using Air Defense?
I've enabled radio share mode on the radios and enabled Rogue detection in the WIPS policy but I'm not seeing any WIPS events. There are several other brand access points in the area that should identify as rogue. What am I missing?

can you kindly share your wips policy content?
is there policy mapped to rf-domain?

"There are several other brand access points in the area that should identify as rogue. "

Rogue APs are APs that are not yours BUT connected to the protected LAN (#1 in die picture).

APs from outside the e.g. building are defined as neighbour APs.

Here how IdentiFi APs are able to find a rogue AP on the LAN....

Thanks guys!
Vanelm, I mapped the policy top the rf-domain and I'm now receiving wips events.
Ronald, thank you for the explanation.

Hello,

Please replicate following first for proper device marking. Some devices like your own printers/projectors/neighbors are always there. So no reason to claim them as rogue.
Than we will work on event policy in case you need to send them to e-mail/syslog

code:

device-categorization TEST
 mark-device 1 neighboring ap ssid "BAD DADDY"
 mark-device 2 sanctioned ap ssid "BEST PRINTER"

wips-policy TEST
 ap-detection
! following line is optional
 ap-detection air-termination mode auto
 use device-categorization policy TEST

rf-domain TEST
 use wips-policy TEST

code:

rfs7000-000000#sh wireless unsanctioned aps on TEST
