LAN monitoring Tool
ManageEngine
WiFi Manager is an integrated and centralized
management and security solution for
wireless networks (WLANs) for enterprises.
It enhances the availability and security
of your WLANs by continuously monitoring
the network as well as the airspace.
WiFi Manager offers wireless device
monitoring, one-click configuration,
access point firmware management, wireless
security management and a variety of
reports that remove the complexity of
wireless network management. WiFi Manager
can detect almost all major wireless
threats including rogue attacks, intrusions,
sniffers, DoS attacks, and vulnerabilities.
With WiFi Manager you'll have complete
control over your wireless devices as
well as your airspace, and more time
to focus on core IT operations.
How
It Works
WiFi Manager comprises of 2 components:
- WiFi Manager Server
- RF Sensors
Administrators can download the WiFi Manager server from our website and
install it in the LAN to perform integrated wireless and wired network
management. RF sensors are optional hardware components that are distributed
throughout the physical environment, providing WLAN protection wherever needed.
The WiFi Manager server aggregates, analyzes, and persists the data fed by the
sensors. WiFi Manager presents a neat Web-based user interface that can be
accessed from anywhere using a standard HTML browser.
Use WiFi Manager To
- Identify rogue wireless devices
- Know who is using your WLAN
- Know what access points are connected to your WLAN
- Monitor your WLAN devices
- Monitor Access Point bandwidth utilization
- Configure your WLAN Access Points
- Enhance and enforce wireless LAN security.
- Proactively manage the network problems before they impact the network.
- Identify network bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and to improve network health
and performance.
- Troubleshoot network problems.
- Capture and decode wireless traffic for testing and troubleshooting.
- Upgrade firmware, schedule upgrades, and audit them.
- Enforce no WLAN policy.
Features
Continuous RF Monitoring
Using integrated RF sensors WiFi Manager analyses the RF spectrum
for all 802.11 conversations and identifies intrusions, attacks,
vulnerabilities, and policy violations. Local analysis and
intelligent data forwarding ensures low bandwidth consumption
between sensors and the software. These sensors require zero
configurations making it truly plugand- play.
Rogue Detection & Blocking
Multiple techniques involving RF and wired side inputs are
employed to detect rogue access points. Once detected, WiFi
Manager provides details such as nearest sensor and switch
port mapping for the administrators to locate and block the
rogue AP from the network.
Attack Mitigation
WiFi Manager reduces the impact of wireless attacks by detecting
them before hand. It detects all major attacks including RF
jamming attack, AirJack attack, ASLEAP attack, Fata-jack attack,
EAPoL logoff Storm, EAPoL Start Storm etc.
Access Point Configuration
Using WiFi Manager administrators can configure access point
for basic settings, radio settings, access control settings,
security settings, and services settings. Administrators can
either fill in predefined configuration templates and push
the values to select access points or group access points
based on model, firmware version etc., and configure them
in bulk.
Firmware Upgrade
WiFi Manager facilitates remote firmware upgrade of access
points. Upgrades can also be scheduled for later execution.
Wired & Wireless Network Monitoring
WiFi Manager monitors access points and other network devices
for availability, SNMP reachability, traffic, and utilization.
It generates specific reports for WLANs including radio reports,
error reports, association reports, and security reports.
Troubleshooting
Web-based GUI enables quick access to alarms, reports, configuration
history etc., facilitating easy troubleshooting.
