Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS)	Cisco offers a dedicated scan radio for aWIPS . It also provides Rogue management and WIPS signatures for accurate detection and containment of rogue devices. Cisco also offers additional features like threshold control and forensic captures for better fine tuning and representation of rogue/WIPS data through Cisco DNA Center.	HPE Aruba does not offer a dedicated scanning radio, as it must use the client serving radio in AM mode, compromising WIPS functionality or AP performance. However, Aruba offers 30+ WIPS signatures for detection/mitigation of rogues.	Juniper Mist APs offers a dedicated third scanning radio for WIPS functionality but has basic rogue/WIPS detection capabilties.	Huawei must use RTU licenses for most of its APs to have an independent scanning radio mode for rogue/WIPS detection. Also, it compromises dual 5 GHz/ Tri-Radio functionality when it is configured in this mode.
