Requirement:Aruba APs can monitor the other APs in the RF environment and classify them as valid, Interfering, rogue, or suspected-rogue. Sometimes we may need to manually re-classify a monitored AP.
How to manually re-classify a monitored AP as valid, Interfering, rogue, suspected-rogue, manually-contained or neighbor in Instant?
Solution:We can manually re-classify a monitored AP by specifying the phy_type and rap_type. Below are the different phy_type and rap_type values.
Rajaguru-IAP# show ids phy-types

dos-attack 3 (Manually contained)
unknown 4
known-interfering 5 (Neighbor)
suspect-rogue 6
Configuration:The command to manually re-classify a monitored AP is:
Rajaguru-IAP# ids-reclassify ap <monitored-AP-bssid> <phy_type> <rap_type>
VerificationBelow is an example of re-classifying an AP to a different type.
