Chapter 43: Using and Configuring IDS
SonicPoint > IDS
You can have many wireless access points within reach of the signal of the SonicPoints on your
network. The SonicPoint > IDS page reports on all access points the SonicWALL security
appliance can find by scanning the 802.11a and 802.11g radio bands.
Wireless Intrusion Detection Services
Intrusion Detection Services (IDS) greatly increase the security capabilities of the SonicWALL
security appliance with SonicOS Enhanced by enabling it to recognize and even take
countermeasures against the most common types of illicit wireless activity. IDS logging and
notification can be enabled under Log > Categories by selecting the IDS checkbox under Log
Categories and Alerts.
