Using RAPIDS Rules with Additional AirWave Functions

Rules that you configure on the RAPIDS > Rules page establish an important way of processing rogue devices on

your network, and flagging them for attention as required. Such devices appear on the following pages in AirWave,

with additional information:

l RAPIDS > List—Lists rogue devices as classified by rules.

l RAPIDS > Rules—Displays the rules that classify rogue devices.

l RAPIDS > Overview—Displays general rogue device count and statistical information.

l System > Triggers—Displays triggers that are currently configured, including any triggers that have been defined

for rogue events.

l Reports > Definitions—Allows you to run New Rogue Devices Report with custom settings.

l VisualRF—Displays physical location information for rogue devices.

Viewing Rogues on the RAPIDS > List Page

To view a rogue AP, select the RAPIDS > List tab and select a rogue device type from the Minimum

Classification drop-down menu (see Figure 121). You can sort the table columns (up/down) by selecting the column

head. Most columns can be filtered using the funnel icon ( ). The active links on this page launch additional pages

for RAPIDS configuration or device processing.

Table 100 details the column information displayed in Figure 121. For additional information about RAPIDS rules,

refer to "Defining RAPIDS Rules" on page 174.

Column Description

Ack

Displays whether or not the rogue device has been acknowledged. Devices can be acknowledged

manually or you can configure RAPIDS so that manually classifying rogues will automatically

acknowledges them. Additionally, devices can be acknowledged by using Modify Devices link at the

top of the RAPIDS > List page. Rogues should be acknowledged when the AirWave user has

investigated them and determined that they are not a threat (see "RAPIDS Setup" on page 171).

RAPIDS

Classification

Displays the current RAPIDS classification. This classification is determined by the rules defined on

the RAPIDS > Rules page.

Threat Level

This field displays the numeric threat level of the device, in a range from 1 to 10. The definition of

threat level is configurable, as described in "Rogue Device Threat Level" on page 175.

The threat level is also supported with Triggers (see "Monitoring and Supporting AirWave with the

System Pages" on page 187).

Name

Displays the alpha-numeric name of the rogue device, as known. By default, AirWave assigns each

rogue device a name derived from the OUI vendor and the final six digits of the MAC address.

Clicking the linked name will redirect you to the RAPIDS > Detail page for that rogue device. Refer to

"Overview of the RAPIDS > Detail Page" on page 181.
