brute-force-detect quiet-time

Function

The brute-force-detect quiet-time command sets the quiet time for an AP to report brute force key attacks to an AC.

The undo brute-force-detect quiet-time command restores the default quiet time for an AP to report brute force key attacks to an AC.

By default, the quiet time for an AP to report brute force key attacks to an AC is 600 seconds.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After attack detection is enabled on an AP, the AP reports alarms upon attack detection. If an attack source launches attacks repeatedly, a large number of repeated alarms are generated. To prevent this situation, configure the quiet time function for attack detection. When detecting attack sources of the same MAC address, the AP does not report alarms in the quiet time. However, if the AP still detects attacks from the attack source after the quiet time expires, the AP reports alarms. You can set the quiet time based on attack types.

To obtain attack information in a timely manner, set the quiet time to a small value. If attack detection is enabled on many APs, and attacks are frequently detected, set the quiet time to a large value to prevent frequent alarm reports.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the undo dynamic-blacklist disable command to enable the dynamic blacklist function.

Example

# Set the quiet time for an AP to report brute force key attacks to an AC to 300 seconds.
