Preventing this type of attack is straightforward. In an environment where wireless containment is critical, network managers should turn off auto-adopt and auto-provision of APs and VLANs. All organizations should set alerts that report on new APs and keep a detailed inventory of where every AP is, with its MAC address and physical location. In addition, regulated businesses may also use WIPS and RF sensors throughout their facilities or locations to alert for the presence of new RF in the environment.

Disable auto-provisioned VLANs on switches. Set specific alerts to notify a network admin of new APs. Use WIPS or RF sensors to monitor for new RF in protected areas. There are organizations that may have a business case for auto-adopt and auto- provisioning, so I wouldn't make the blanket statement that these features should
