Saving the Trusted AP List
To create a Trusted AP List and save it to a file:
STEP 1 Select Wireless > Rogue AP Detection.
STEP 2 In the Detected Rogue AP List, click Trust for the APs that are known to you. The
trusted APs move to the Trusted AP List.
STEP 3 In the Download/Backup Trusted AP List area, click Backup (AP to PC).
STEP 4 Click Save.
The list contains the MAC addresses of all APs that have been added to the
Known AP List. By default, the filename is Rogue2.cfg. You can use a text editor or
web browser to open the file and view its contents.
Importing a Trusted AP List
You can import a list of known APs from a saved list. The list may be acquired from
another AP or created from a text file. If the MAC address of an AP appears in the
Trusted AP List, it is not detected as a rogue.
To import an AP list from a file:
STEP 1 Select Wireless > Rogue AP Detection.
STEP 2 In the Download/Backup Trusted AP List area, click Download (PC to AP).
STEP 3 In the Source File Name field, click Browse to choose the file to import.
The file that you import must be a plain-text file with a .txt or .cfg extension. Entries
in the file are MAC addresses in hexadecimal format with each octet separated by
colons, for example, 00:11:22:33:44:55. You must separate entries with a single
space. For the AP to accept the file, it must contain only MAC addresses.
STEP 4 In the File Management Destination field, choose whether to replace the existing
Trusted AP List or add the entries in the imported file to the Trusted AP List. The
options are:
• Replace—Imports the list and replaces the contents of the Known AP List.
• Merge—Imports the list and adds the APs in the imported file to the APs
currently shown in the Known AP List.
