TheWireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS)in SmartZone continuously monitors the RF environment to detect and mitigate rogue or malicious behavior.
According toRUCKUS One Online Help – WIPS Policy Configuration, availablerule typesinclude:
(B) High RSSI:Detects potentialrogue APs or clientsbroadcasting at unusually strong signal levels that suggest proximity or spoofing attempts.
(C) NAV Abuse:Identifies devices misusing theNetwork Allocation Vectorfield to monopolize airtime, degrading performance for other users.
(E) SSID Spoofing:Detects devices broadcasting identical SSIDs to legitimate WLANs, often used in man-in-the-middle or phishing attacks.
Other listed options, such asShort GI (Guard Interval)andSame Network, are PHY or configuration settings, not WIPS rules.Excessive Powerdetection is handled indirectly viaHigh RSSIthresholds.
