Give Access Points an Authorization Status
When you set the authorization status for each access
point, you can quickly see if an access point is an authorized
part of the network. Access points have Unknown () in
the access control list column (ACL) until you change the
status. You can select one access point at a time and change
its status. You can also select Set all APs to Authorized and
then work backwards identifying each access point that
does not have an authorization status.
