    Uncheck  "Protect Misconfigured APs"

     

    What kinds of clients are you trying to block from those SSIDs?

    Hi,

     

    I encountered the same problem, I need to block ssid which is not mine

     

    SSID 4 was from your controller or from next office controller ?

     

    Regards

    Hi 

    SSID 4 is from my controller

    It is test Lab ssid

     

    anyway

    If you want block another ssid ,Enter the SSID you want to block into the Valid and Protected SSID

    Or 

    Dashboard > Security >Click on the SSID to block > Reclassify > Rogue> Reclassify button 

     

    in my case , I applied second way in my site 

    Please refer to the capture below.
    I hope it helps.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your replay,

     

    please let see if i undestood you corectly,

     

    If i want to block SSID (whice is not from my controller) like private router or private hotspot and the aruba controller classifiy him as suspect ruge i need to write SSID name in "Valid and Protected SSID"  ?

    Because the "Valid" i thought that the meaninig is oppiste.

     

    About second option by default Aruba   dont block rogue AP, how can change this ? do you have any procedure ? (if you have step by step it will be fabulous)

     

    Is it posibale to block AP according to his mac address ?

     

    I read the IPS manual but unfotunately i didnt understand how ?

     

    Basically i cant do it  because i have  another wifi vendor in my campus, and since Aruba see  him wird and wifi he classify him as ruge.

    As you know, 

     

     

    If i want to block SSID (whice is not from my controller) like private router or private hotspot and the aruba controller classifiy him as suspect ruge i need to write SSID name in "Valid and Protected SSID"  ?

     -> "Valid and Protected  SSID" is IDS Unauthorized Device >Adbanced's option. 

    Because the "Valid" i thought that the meaninig is oppiste.

     -> I think so too

     

    About second option by default Aruba   dont block rogue AP, how can change this ? do you have any procedure ? (if you have step by step it will be fabulous)

     ->I hope the screenshot below helps.

    Is it posibale to block AP according to his mac address ?

    -> I dont know ...sorry..

     

    < my config screenshot >

    If you click finish button at first , sometimes never ending finish loading 

    but check the All profile > IDS 

    It is already configured. 

    I think it is bug .

     

    you finish wizard , you need move to Dashboard > Security page

    and Reclassify Interfering AP

    Dashboard > Security >Interfering AP> Click on the SSID to permit> Reclassify > Authorized> Reclassify button

    Hi,

     

    Thank you very much,

     

    Sorry for the delay i was OOO for a few days,

     

    So to block SSID i need to write SSID name here ->  -> "Valid and Protected  SSID" is IDS Unauthorized Device >Adbanced's option.

     

    Am i right ?

     

    I couldnt find "Adbanced's"  option my version is 6.5.3.3

     

    Please see attached screenshot

    hello~

    You found it exactly.

    but If you can't find it, check your wips license .

    I heard that the menu is not visible without a license.
