The Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) in LCOS devices monitors the different WLANs by using a wide range of specified thresholds. If a potential attack is detected, the system reports it immediately via e-mail, SYSLOG, or SNMP traps.
Attacks are detected by monitoring for known or similar patterns.
Note: Please note that detection based on pattern recognition (heuristics) can lead to false alarms ("false positives").
With the aid of a WLC, you can conveniently manage the WIDS settings for all of your APs even in large network environments. In this case you use WIDS profiles on the WLC, and these are assigned to the APs.
Note: The factory settings include a profile named "DEFAULT" which contains preassigned values that are typical for specific attack scenarios.
