Hi Experts

Is there any way to Block Third-party wifi by WLC?

e.g.

Here is wifi in our company and I can also received wifi signal from outside, like Mcdonald, Starbucks.

I don't want my staff to connect wifi from outside.

So, do we have any method to prevent to connect such wifi?

How about following function?

Talk to your legal department BEFORE you do such things.  It is criminal offense to jam other people's wireless.

Haha... Leo cracks me up... He should of been a lawyer:)

Rogue wireless is and always will be part of wireless and you have to deal with it. Legal will not know anything about wifi and the bottom line is that you should not use the contain feature at all. Deal with the excess wifi out there and tweak you config and wireless profiles.

Leo and Scott are both correct. There's nothing you can do about somebody else's WiFi except ignore it or optimise around it. The Containment feature is only really there to help protect your network from internal Rogue-AP type threats; it's not for annoying the neighbours!
