A multi-vendor municipal campus needs consistent rogue detection across controllers from different manufacturers. Which WIPS approach best fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When city Wi-Fi is a mix of vendor puzzles, one brand’s built-in WIPS often can’t see the whole board. An overlay sensor layer watches the airwaves without picking favorites. That beats hoping mismatched controllers magically agree.
Full Explanation
Overlay WIPS architectures use dedicated sensors or independent monitoring that is not tied to a single controller vendor, which improves consistency on multi-vendor campuses. Integrated WIPS can be effective in homogeneous deployments but may leave coverage or policy gaps when products differ. Disabling intrusion monitoring removes a primary WLAN IDP control. Consumer mesh gear is not an enterprise WIPS design and worsens the security posture.
