You can create a rule with specific conditions and then associate it to a rogue rule profile.

Procedure

1.

From the main menu, choose Workflows > Create a Rogue Rule Profile.

In the Create Rogue Rule Profile window, click Get Started.
3.

In the Profile Name field, enter a unique name for the rule profile.
4.

(Optional) Check the Enable Auto-Containment check box to automatically contain the rogue rule.

Note

  • Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers have a limit of 625 configurations for rogue containment at a time. When the limit is reached, containment won't work for any new rogues on those devices.

  • You can only automatically contain Honeypot and the custom rules classified with the High threat level.

In the Rule List table, check the check box next to the rule name, and click Next.

You can add up to five rogue rules in a profile.

Rule profiles can exist without being assigned to any site. Rules are only checked when you assign the rule profile to a site.
