4.2 Rogue AP Detection
Rogue APs are wireless access points interacting with the network managed by the device but which
are not under the control of the network administrator. In short, they are a security risk because
they circumvent network security policy. AP detection only works when at least 1 AP is configured
for Monitor mode.
The following are some suggestions on monitor AP placement:
• Neighboring companies that both support wireless network. If you can detect your neighbor’s APs
and you know they are ‘friendly’, you can add them to the friendly exception list.
• Reception areas. If a reception area has a high volume of visitor traffic, it might be useful to see
if anyone is setting up their wireless device as an AP.
• High security areas. An AP set to Monitor mode will let you see if anyone sets up an unauthorized
AP that could potentially compromise your security.
