SonicPoint > Advanced IDP Advanced Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP), or Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention (WIDP), monitors the radio spectrum for presence of unauthorized access points (intrusion detection) and to take countermeasures automatically (intrusion prevention) according to administrator settings. When Advanced IDP is enabled on a SonicPoint, the SonicPoint’s radio functions as a dedicated IDP sensor. CAUTION: When Advanced IDP is enabled on a SonicPoint radio, its access point functions are disabled and any wireless clients are disconnected. SonicOS Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention is based on SonicPoint N and cooperates with a Dell SonicWALL NSA gateway. This feature turns SonicPoint Ns into dedicated WIDP sensors that detect unauthorized access points connected to a Dell SonicWALL network. CAUTION: A SonicPoint N configured as a WIDP sensor cannot function as an access point. This feature is available for single radio SonicPoint N, including SonicPoint Ne and SonicPoint Ni. When an access point is identified as a rogue access point, its MAC address is added to the All Rogue Access Configuring Advanced IDP is a two-part process: • Enabling Advanced IDP on a SonicPoint Profile • Configuring Advanced IDP
