# IDS/IPS Report

This page shows the Wireless Intrusion Detection/Prevention System (IDS/IPS) Report. The report lists the neighbor APs and wireless clients that the managed APs detected, whether each detected neighbor AP or client is a "Rogue", and the history of intrusion prevention against rogue clients. Detection of neighbor APs and clients is attempted at 5 minute intervals.
IDS/IPS can be configured on the Screen Reference > Wireless Configuration > IDS/IPS Settings page.
Refer to Supported Functions per AP Model > Wireless Configuration" > "IDS/IPS Settings for APs that support this function.

> Note

> > When a neighbor AP or client is detected by multiple managed APs, it is shown as a rogue if at least one managed AP decides it is a rogue.
