Monitoring rogue APs

Monitoring rogue APs

The access point radio equipment can scan for other available access points, either as a dedicated monitor or in idle periods during AP operation.

 

Monitoring

Discovered access points are listed in Monitor > Rogue AP Monitor. You can then mark them as either Accepted or Rogue access points. This designation helps you to track access points. It does not affect anyone’s ability to use these access points.

It is also possible to suppress rogue APs. See Monitoring rogue APs on page 111.
