6.2.2 Authorized / Ignored APs
Those Access Points detected and approved for operation within the switch managed network can be
separately displayed to assess the reporting (detecting) AP, the channel of operation, the last time the AP
was observed on the network and the ESSID. Use this information to assess if an approved Access Point was
incorrectly defined as approved and requires categorization as an unapproved and disallowed AP.
To review the attributes of allowed APs:
1. Select Security > Access Point Detection from the main menu.
2. Select the Authorized APs tab.
3. The Approved APs table displays the following information:
Any MAC Address/
Specific MAC
Address
Click the Any MAC Address radio button to allow any MAC address detected on
the network as an Allowed AP. This is not necessary if a specific MAC address is
used with this index.
Click the second radio button to enter a specific MAC address as an Allowed AP.
Use this option if (for network security) you want to restrict the number of MAC
Addresses to a single MAC address.
Any ESSID/Specific
ESSID
Click the Any ESSID radio button to allow any ESSID located on the network as
an Allowed AP. This may not be necessary if a specific ESSID was used with this
particular index.
Click the second radio button to enter a specific ESSID as an Allowed AP. Use this
option if (for network security) you want to restrict the number of device ESSIDs
saved for this index to a single Access Point ESSID.
BSS MAC Address Displays the MAC Address of each approved AP. These MAC addresses are Access
Points observed on the network meeting the criteria (MAC and ESSIDs) of allowed
APs.
Reporting AP Displays the numerical value assigned to the radio used with the specific device
MAC Address and SSID listed for this approved AP.
Channel Displays the channel the approved AP is currently transmitting on. If this device is
operating on a channel not frequently used within your network segment, perhaps
the device is correctly defined as an approved AP.
Last Seen (In
Seconds)
Displays the time (in seconds) the approved AP was last seen on the network.
