WIPS

RUCKUS Unleashed provides several built-in intrusion-prevention features designed to protect the wireless network from security threats such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and intrusion attempts. These features, called Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), allow you to customize the actions to take and the notifications you would like to receive when each of the different threat types is detected.

In this section:

  1. Denial of Service (DoS)
  2. Intrusion Detection and Prevention
  3. Rogue DHCP Server Detection
    A rogue DHCP server is a DHCP server that is not under the control of network administrators and is therefore unauthorized. When a rogue DHCP server is introduced to the network, it could start assigning invalid IP addresses, disrupting network connections or preventing client devices from accessing network services. It could also be used by hackers to compromise network security.
