How to Configure Wireless Intrusion Prevention to Protect Your Corporate Network

 How to Configure Wireless Intrusion Prevention to Protect Your Corporate Network

In an age where network security is more critical than ever, wireless networks have become a prime target for various attacks, including denial-of-service (DOS) and rogue access points. As a network technician, protecting your corporate environment requires implementing robust security measures that go beyond standard configurations.

One such measure is Wireless Intrusion Prevention (WIP), which helps safeguard your network from malicious activity and unauthorized devices. In this post, we’ll walk you through configuring a wireless controller to protect against common wireless threats.

Step-by-Step Configuration Guide

  1. Log into the Wireless Controller
    As WxAdmin on your ITAdmin computer, access the wireless controller’s console and navigate to the wireless security settings.

  2. Enable Denial-of-Service (DOS) Protection

    • Protect your wireless network against excessive wireless requests.
    • Temporarily block wireless clients with repeated authentication failures for 120 seconds. This setting prevents rogue devices from bombarding the network with authentication attempts, potentially leading to a DOS attack.

  3. Configure Rogue Device Detection

    • Report all rogue devices, regardless of type.
    • Enable protection from malicious rogue access points. This prevents unauthorized devices from imitating legitimate network devices and compromising your network’s integrity.

  4. Enable Rogue DHCP Server Detection
    Rogue DHCP servers can redirect client traffic to malicious servers. Make sure to enable rogue DHCP server detection to prevent this threat.

Why These Settings Matter

Denial-of-service attacks and rogue devices are serious threats to corporate networks. Left unchecked, they can lead to compromised data, loss of productivity, and even damage your company’s reputation. By enabling WIP and taking proactive measures, you ensure that your network stays secure.
