WIPS/WIDS on 6GHz with WI-fi 6E/7 APs

[GinaR]

Can Meraki WI-Fi 7 or 6E APs perform WIDS/WIPS on the 6 GHz radio? I hear that there is some limitation with this operation. Can someone enlighten me?

Hi @GinaR ,

The WIDS/WIPS solution for Meraki access points is Air Marshal. It works by containing rogue access points that are not recognised on your dashboard network. 6 GHz containment will not work because 6 GHz uses protected management frame and it would not be possible to contain the clients over the air. This will be true for any Meraki access point.

I would recommend going through the entire article to get a broader understanding of the options Air Marshal provides. If you have any questions about the content, let us know here and we can help to address them.

Thanks for this insight as I was wondering about that myself.
