Viewing the Rogue AP List
Rogue AP detection will not function until the wireless radio has been enabled. You
should first enable the radio interface before you enable the Rogue AP detection
for the radio interface.
To enable the radio to collect information about rogue APs:
STEP 1 Select Wireless > Rogue AP Detection.
STEP 2 Check Enable next to the AP Detection for Radio 1 and AP Detection for Radio 2
fields.
STEP 3 Click Save.
The Detected Rogue AP List table shows information for all detected rogue APs,
and the Trusted AP List shows information for all trusted APs.
• MAC Address—The MAC address of the rogue AP.
• Beacon Interval—The beacon interval used by the rogue AP. Beacon frames
are transmitted by an AP at regular intervals to announce the existence of the
wireless network. The default behavior is to send a beacon frame once
every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second). The Beacon Interval is set on the
Radio page.
• Type—The type of the device. The options are:
- AP—Indicates that the rogue device is an AP that supports the IEEE
802.11 Wireless Networking Framework in infrastructure mode.
- Ad hoc—Indicates that the rogue station is running in Ad hoc mode. The
stations set to the Ad hoc mode communicate with each other directly,
without the use of a traditional AP. The Ad hoc mode is an IEEE 802.11
Wireless Networking Framework also referred to as peer-to-peer mode
or an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
• SSID—The Service Set Identifier (SSID) for the WAP device. The SSID is an
alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that uniquely identifies a wireless
local area network. It is also referred to as the Network Name.
• Privacy—Indicates whether there is any security on the rogue device. The
options are:
- Off—Indicates that the security mode on the rogue device is set to None
(no security).
