D-Link Unified Access System Software User Manual 12/10/09 To view information about another AP detected through the RF Scan, return to the main Rogue/RF Scan page and click the MAC address of the AP with the information to view. Figure 338: AP Triangulation Status Table 315 shows the information the Access Point Triangulation Status page shows for an individual access point. Field Detected AP MAC Address Sentry MAC Address Radio RSSI Signal Strength Noise Level Age Table 315: Access Point Triangulation Status Description The Ethernet MAC address of the detected AP. This could be a physical radio interface or VAP MAC. For D-Link APs this is always a VAP MAC address. Identifies whether the AP that detected the entry is in sentry or non-sentry mode. Shows the MAC address of the AP that detected the RF Scan entry. The address links to the Valid AP database. Identifies the radio on the AP that detected the RF Scan entry. Shows the received signal strength indicator in terms of percentage for the non-sentry AP. The range is 0-100%. A value of 0 indicates the AP is not detected. Received signal strength for the non-sentry AP. The range is -127 dBm to 127 dBm, but most values are expected to range from -95 dBm to -10 dBm. Noise reported on the channel by the non-sentry AP. Time since this AP was last detected in an RF scan. Viewing WIDS AP Rogue Classification Information The Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) can help detect intrusion attempts into the wireless network and take automatic actions to protect the network. The Unified Switch allows you to activate or deactivate various threat detection tests and set threat detection thresholds. The WIDS AP Rogue Classification page provides information about the results of these tests. If an AP has been classified as a rogue, this page provides information about which tests the AP might have failed to trigger the classification. If an AP is classified as a rogue, the system provides additional information to identify the threat type that caused the switch to classify the AP as a rogue. The WIDS RF Security encompasses three functions: • Detect wireless devices by listening to control and data frames in the air. • Classify whether the wireless device is a threat by comparing the received data to various databases as well as sending trace frames into the wired network and listening for the trace frames on the wireless network. • Take action to protect the network from threats.
