Version 6.6 onwards, SpectraGuard Managed Network Console (SpectraGuard -MNC) has been renamed as SpectraGuard Manager. SpectraGuard Manager facilitates the centralized management of multiple SpectraGuard Enterprise servers, that could be placed at different locations of the enterprise. If you are not using SpectraGuard Manager to manage the SpectraGuard Enterprise servers in your enterprise, you can ignore this chapter. Inheriting Policies on the Root location of SpectraGuard Enterprise Server When the SpectraGuard Enterprise servers in your enterprise are managed through SpectraGuard Manager, SpectraGuard Manager pushes the local policies on to the Root location of each of the SpectraGuard Enterprise servers. The locations under Root location of the SpectraGuard Enterprise server are not affected in any way. When a SpectraGuard Enterprise server in the enterprise has been added to a group in SpectraGuard Manager, the SpectraGuard Manager pushes the local policies defined for that group, to the Root location of the SpectraGuard Enterprise server. Such policies are said to be inherited by the SpectraGuard Enterprise server from the SpectraGuard Manager. The inherited policies cannot be edited or deleted from the SpectraGuard Enterprise Console. Such policies can only be viewed and applied through the SpectraGuard Enterprise Console. Effect on inherited policies and templates on disassociation from SpectraGuard Manager The process of pushing the local policies to a SpectraGuard Enterprise server through SpectraGuard Manager can happen multiple times. In such cases, the most recently pushed policies would be implemented by or applied on the SpectraGuard Enterprise servers. The previously inherited local policies that are not in use, would be retained by the SpectraGuard Enterprise server. If a SpectraGuard Enterprise server disassociates itself from the SpectraGuard Manager managing it, the inherited policies and templates that are currently in use, are retained and used by the SpectraGuard Enterprise server. They can now be edited and deleted from the SpectraGuard Enterprise Console at the Root location, as they are independent of SpectraGuard Manager. This operation can be performed only by a superuser. The inherited policies and templates that are no longer in use, will automatically get deleted from SpectraGuard Enterprise. SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide Dashboard Tab Dashboard Tab Introduction: Panel Displaying WLAN Snapshot The Dashboard screen enables you to view a snapshot of your WLAN security status and performance. The Security snapshot is provided in terms of overall security status, security events and charts, quarantine activity status and category-wise device summary. The Performance snapshot presents a summary of performance events based on severity, performance event charts, and latest trends in factors contributing to performance issues. Dashboard Screen The Dashboard appears by default when you log into the system. You can return to the Dashboard from other screens by clicking the Dashboard tab. The Dashboard screen includes two panes: On the left, the Location tree is seen. On the right, Selected Location shows the path for the location selected in the Location tree. Events On/Off and Prevention On/Off indicate whether Event Generation and Intrusion Prevention have been turned ON or OFF at a selected location. Clicking Events On/Off opens the Administration->Local>Location Properties->Event Activation screen. Clicking Prevention On/Off opens the Administration>Local->Location Properties->Intrusion Prevention Activation screen. Note: Prevention On/Off is not visible if WIDS license is applied. Security and Performance Dashboard depict a macro view and statistical information of your WLAN security and performance respectively. Security Dashboard Dashboard: Location Tree SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide Dashboard Tab The Location tree shows the complete list of locations created for your WLAN in the system. Vulnerability status icon before each location name shows the vulnerabilty status of that location. To view the Dashboard for a particular location, select the appropriate node in the Location tree. Security Dashboard: Sections Security Dashboard screen appears by default when you log into the system. Alternatively, click the Security tab on the Dashboard screen to view the Security Dashboard. The Security Dashboard consists of the following Information Widgets. Security Scorecard New Events Security Event Charts Quarantine Sensors APs Clients Security Dashboard – Security Scorecard The Security Scorecard shows the overall security status of the WLAN at the selected location. Security Dashboard – Security Scorecard Section Your WLAN can be in either of the following states: Secure: The selected location is treated as Secure if No security events are raised at that location and its child locations, or The Vulnerability checkbox has the following purpose (see Event Settings, Configuration). If the checkbox is checked, the event type in question will contribute to the security vulnerability check. To remove a particular instance of an event from the scorecard, the administrator can clickand uncheck the Participate from Vulnerability checkbox. Note that only that instance of the event will stop contributing to the scorecard. All other event instances of the said event type will continue to contribute to the vulnerability status. Vulnerable: The selected location is treated as vulnerable if any events, which contribute to vulnerability status, are raised. You can customize the list of events that cause the network to be vulnerable by changing the types of events that contribute to that status. Read/Unread/Acknowledge status of the events do not contribute to the Vulnerability status. Configuring Security Scorecard View SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide Dashboard Tab To specify the types of events that are considered when determining the Security Scorecard status at a particular location, select a location in the Location tree and then click the icon to open Administration->Local->Local Policies->Event Settings->Configuration screen with Security tab selected. Refer to the Event Settings, Configuration section in the Administration tab for more details. Check/Uncheck the Vulnerability field of the Security Event Types that you want to be considered/not considered for computation of the vulnerability status of a location. Note: Configuring Security Scorecard, New Events, Event Charts, Quarantine, Sensors, APs, and Clients sections are not visible if WIDS license is applied. Network Status: Tell Me More To view more information about the actual events that contributed to the Vulnerable or Secure status of a particular location, select a location in the Location tree and then click in the Security Scorecard. Based on the security status of the location, a dialog describing the reason for the security status appears as shown below. Secure Location Dialog appears when a location is Secure, whereas Vulnerable Location Dialog appears when the security state is Vulnerable. Secure Location Dialog Vulnerable Location Dialog If the location is vulnerable, the Vulnerable Location Dialog shows the actual events that occurred in your network which contributed to the Vulnerable status of the location. It is possible that you have taken action on the devices after an event displayed in this list occurred, to address the security vulnerability. In that case, you can select such an SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide Dashboard Tab event from the Vulnerable Location dialog and click to remove it from the consideration for vulnerability status. The system shows the Remove from Scoreboard dialog which allows you take the removal action and add a comment to mark that action before removing it from set of events that contributed to vulnerability. Remove from Scoreboard Dialog Uncheck the Participate in Vulnerability Assessment check box and enter the text to acknowledge the event, so that the system does not consider this event occurrence in the future while computing the Vulnerable status. Security Dashboard – New Events New Events section lists the ten recent Security events in descending order of start time of the event.

On the left, the Location tree 2. On the right, the event tabs: All, Security, System, and Performance, event list for the selected category of events, and event charts in the Table Summary. Events: Location Tree The Location tree shows the complete list of locations created for your WLAN in the system. The Events shown on the right are for the currently selected location. To view a list of events for any other location, select that location in the Location tree, and select an event type in the right pane. A list of events of the selected category that have occurred at the selected location (and its child locations), appear in the list of events in the right pane. Event Categories, Event Lists, and Table Summary This pane shows: Path of the selected location List of events that have occurred at that location You can view the events at the selected location (and its child locations) based on their category. Tabs are provided for each category: All: Shows all events Security: Shows events that indicate security vulnerability or breach in your network System: Shows events that indicate system health Performance: Shows events that indicate wireless network performance problems You can view the following information for all the events on the bar charts under ‘Table Summary’. SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 25 Events Tab Event Severity: High, Medium, or Low. The event rows are highlighted in red, orange, or yellow color based on the severity level being High, Medium, or Low respectively. Event Status: New, Read, or Acknowledged Activity Status: Live, Instantaneous, or Expired Viewing Events Lists You must view events in order to take corrective actions. Use the following steps to view an event list: 1. In the Location tree, select a location. 2. In the right pane, select a tab – All, Security, System, or Performance. Event list with following columns displays: Events Tab – Column Header ID: Specifies the unique identification number of the event. Severity Icon: Specifies the severity of an event as High denoted by icon, Medium denoted by icon, or Low denoted by icon respectively. Read Status Icon: Specifies if an event is new (that is, unread), read, or acknowledged, or a combination of these options. Activity Status Icon: Specifies if an event is live (in progress), is active and an activity has occurred since it was last read, or past (already occurred). The system follows a Live Event Architecture (LEA) where live or instantaneous events are used to classify events based on the duration of their occurrence as follows: Live: Have a valid start time stamp and are denoted by the icon. A live event indicates that the triggers that raised the event are operational or continue to exist. On expiration, a valid stop time stamp is assigned to it. One or more conditions can trigger the start and stop of a live event. For example, consider the event ‘Rogue AP is Live’. This event will have a start and stop time and therefore, it is easy to figure out that the Rogue AP is still operating. A live event designated by the icon indicates an event that has been updated, that is, some activity has occurred after the event has been read. Expired: Live events are marked as ‘Expired’ once the triggers that caused the events are no longer operational. For example, once a Rogue AP has been located and removed by the administrator and is no longer in operation, the event related to the Rogue AP is marked as ‘Expired’. Expired events are marked with the icon. Instantaneous: Instantaneous events are the events triggered based on a trigger that does not have continuity. These events are raised each time the trigger is detected by the system. These events are indicated by the icon. For example, ‘Change in the SSID of an Authorized AP’ or ‘Beacon with a large Contention Free Period (CFP) duration detected’. All offline events (events synchronized from a Sensor that has reconnected after operating in the Offline mode) are also treated as instantaneous events. Contribution to Vulnerability: Indicates if that event occurrence is considered for determining the network’s vulnerability status on the Security Dashboard. The icon denotes that the event does not contribute to vulnerability status and is secure. The icon denotes that the event contributes to vulnerability status and is vulnerable. SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 26 Events Tab Type Icon: Indicates the type of the event – Security, System, or Performance. This column is visible only if you select the tab All in step 2. Location: Shows the probable location of the devices participating in the event when the event occurred. Event Details: Gives a short description of the event.

SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 47 Devices Tab Sorted Device List Location Tagging of a Device or Location Tag Assignment Device location tagging refers to the process by which a device obtains the label of a location. Tagging is of two types: Automatic and Manual. Automatic Location Tagging (Auto Location Tagging) The system automatically assigns a location to a device depending on the Automatic Location Tagging policy selected and the signal strength of the Sensors reporting the device (see Auto Location Tagging). Automatic Location Tagging of a device depends on the location of the Sensors which are able to see the device. If all the Sensors reporting a device are tagged to the Unknown location, the device is also tagged to the Unknown location. Manual Location Tagging You can change the location tag of a device manually in one of the following ways: On the Devices screen, right-click the device row and select Change Location. On the Locations screen, place the Authorized AP on the floor map. On the AdministrationGlobal tabDevice SettingsImport Devices screen, specify the location to which the device must be tagged. If an AP or Client is manually tagged, the system never attempts to auto-tag it again. To re-enable auto-tagging for that device, you must delete the device and let the system re-discover it.
