YoumustenabletheAPdetectiononaradioinordertocollectinformationaboutotherAPswithinrange.
Table12describestheinformationprovidedonneighboringaccesspoints.
Table12:RogueAPDetection
Field Description
APDetectionfor
Radio
ToallowtheAPradiostoperformneighborAPdetectionandcollectinformationabout
neighborAPs,clickEnabled.
TodisableneighborAPdetectionontheradios,clickDisabled.
IfyouchangetheAPdetectionmode,clickApplytosavethenewsettings.
DetectedRogueAPList
Action Click
GranttomovetheAPfromtheDetectedRogueAPListtotheKnownAPList.
Note:TheDetectedRougeAPandKnownAPlistsprovideinformation.TheDWL‐x600AP
doesnothaveanycontr olovertheAPs onthelistandcannotapplyanysecuritypolicies
toAPsdetectedthrough
theRFscan.
MAC ShowstheMACaddressoftheneighboringAP.
Radio TheRadiofieldindicateswhichradiodetectedtheneighboringAP:
•wlan0(RadioOne)
•wlan1(RadioTwo)
BeaconInt. ShowstheBeaconintervalbeingusedbythis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.(See“ModifyingRadioSettings”onpage58.)
Type Indicatesthetypeofdevice:
• APindicatestheneighboringdeviceisanAPthatsupportsthe
IEEE802.11Wireless
NetworkingFrameworkinInfrastructureMode.
• AdhocindicatesaneighboringstationrunninginAdhocMode.Stationssettoadhoc
modecommunicatewitheachotherdirectly,withouttheuseofatraditionalAP.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AP.
TheSSIDisanalphanumericstringofupto32charactersthatuniquelyidentifiesawireless
localareanetwork.Itisalsoref erredtoastheNetworkName.
TheSSIDissetontheVAPpage.(See“ConfiguringLoadBalancing”onpage88.)
Privacy Indicateswhetherthereisanysecurityontheneighboringdevice.
• OffindicatesthattheSecuritymodeontheneighboringdeviceissettoNone(no
security).
• Onindicatesthattheneighboringdevicehassomesecurity
inplace.
SecurityisconfiguredontheAPfromtheVAPpage.
WPA IndicateswhetherWPAsecurityisonoroffforthisAP.
