Disallowed Devices or SSIDs

You can configure the following types of lists to explicitly allow specific devices or SSIDs:

• Permitted SSID list—WSS Software generates a message if an SSID that is not on the list is detected.

• Permitted vendor list—WSS Software generates a message if an AP or wireless client with an OUI that is not on the

list is detected.

• Client black list—WSS Software prevents clients on the list from accessing the network through an WSS switch. If

the client is placed on the black list dynamically by WSS Software due to an association, reassociation or

disassociation flood, WSS Software generates a log message.

By default, these lists are empty and all SSIDs, vendors, and clients are allowed. For more information, see “Summary

of Rogue Detection Features” on page 542.
