Rogue Detection A rogue AP is an access point that is not authorized to operate in or near your network. You can use RF countermeasures to deny service to or from a targeted rogue AP, and render them ineffective. Once a rogue AP is detected and reported, the closest 3Com MAP is assigned to perform RF countermeasures. By spoofing various 802.11 control messages, the MAP’s countermeasures disrupt association and authentication attempts to the rogue AP by any new clients. This also disrupts any active communications between any existing client and rogue AP.
You can collect and statistics and view reports on:
Current rogue list, aggregated for the whole network
Current hour rogue list
Current day rogue list
30 days of rogue history, using best listener data
