Hi All

Does Xirrus have an attack prevention system capable of recognizing situations such as:
 -Rogue AP
 -Presence of foreign networks (unknown SSID and Ad-hoc networks)
 -Own clients connected to foreign networks
 -MAC address manipulation (MAC spoofing)

 -DoS attacks

I have forwarded this to the support and development teams.

Hi cambium develop team / support team, May I know WIPS / counter measure still in the road map for XE3, XE5 enterprise AP (xirrus ap XR 4836 & XR630 got this feature) ? We need this feature for the convention center. I saw this article since year 2019, recently I check the cnmaestro x lasted version only support up to WIDS feature. As a customer, I feel very disappointed with cambium, most of the enterprise AP like cisco, aruba, huawei, h3c has this feature.

Yes WIPS on XV/XE series platforms will be released in Q2 2024 (it will be part of cnMaestro 5.1.0).
