Note: While the access point scans a channel for rogue APs, wireless clients will not be
able to connect to the access point. Therefore, avoid frequent scanning or scans
of a long duration unless there is a reason to believe that more intensive scanning
is required to find a rogue AP.
CLI Commands for Rogue AP Detection – From the global configuration mode,
enter the interface wireless command to access the 802.11g radio interface. From
the wireless interface mode, use the rogue-ap enable command to enable rogue
AP detection. Set the duration and interval times with the rogue-ap duration and
rogue-ap interval commands. If required, start an immediate scan using the
rogue-ap scan command. To view the database of detected access points, use the
show rogue-ap command from the Exec level.
Configuring Wi-Fi Multimedia
Wireless networks offer an equal opportunity for all devices to transmit data from
any type of application. Although this is acceptable for most applications, multimedia
applications (with audio and video) are particularly sensitive to the delay and
throughput variations that result from this “equal opportunity” wireless access
method. For multimedia applications to run well over a wireless network, a Quality of
Service (QoS) mechanism is required to prioritize traffic types and provide an
“enhanced opportunity” wireless access method.
