How to configure/enable aWIPS on WLC9800

[Scott12]

Hello there!

I currently have a 9800 WLC and now we'd like to enable/configure aWIPS on the network only on three APs.

My doubt here is, do we need to configure a Rogue Policy? it is necesary?

If anyone knows what the correct process is to configure aWIPS, could you please share it?

I found this information on the Cisco web site.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

   Do you have DNAC ? As you can see on the requirements, you need DNAC:

Advanced WIPS Solution Components

The aWIPS solution comprises the following components:

• Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller

• Cisco Aironet Wave 2 APs

• Cisco DNA Center

Because the aWIPS functionality is integrated into Cisco DNA Center, the aWIPS can configure and monitor WIPS policies and alarms and report threats.

[Scott12]

Yes, we have DNAC,

so basically the most configuration should be set up on DNAC centre?

[Flavio Miranda]

Yes but you need to follow that guide as you also have config on the WLC.

Then take a look on the DNAC part
