Ad Hoc Client Status
An ad hoc client is a wireless client that gains access to the WLAN through a wireless client that is associated
with an access point. The ad hoc client does not communicate directly with the AP. Ad hoc networks are a
particular concern because they consume RF bandwidth and can present a security risk.
From the
WLAN > Monitoring > Client > Ad Hoc Clients
page, you can view and manage wireless clients that
are connected to the WLAN through an ad hoc network.
Figure 339: Ad Hoc Clients
To view or configure the default action specified for a wireless client (Allow, Deny, or Global Action), go to the
WLAN
>
Administration > Advanced Configuration > Clients > Known Client
page and click the MAC address
of the client to view or configure.
The switch does not remove MAC entries from this list even when a client successfully authenticates with an
AP. The historical ad hoc data gives you more time to take action against clients that establish ad hoc networks
on the WLAN.
