26	ROGUE DETECTION AND
	COUNTERMEASURES

	MAP radios automatically scan the RF spectrum for other devices
	transmitting in the same spectrum. The RF scans discover third-party
	transmitters in addition to other 3Com radios. MSS considers the
	unknown transmitters to be devices of interest, which are potential
	rogues.
Overview	You can display information about the devices of interest. To identify
	friendly devices, such as unknown access points in your network or
	neighbor’s network, you can add them to the known devices list. You also
	can enable countermeasures to prevent clients from using the devices
	that truly are rogues.
	With 3Com Wireless Switch Manager, you also can display the physical
	location of a rogue device. (For more information, see the Wireless Switch
	Manager Reference Manual.)
About Rogues and	RF detection detects all the IEEE 802.11 devices in a Mobility Domain and
RF Detection	can single out the unauthorized rogue access points.
Rogue Access Points	A rogue access point is an access point that is not authorized to operate
and Clients	in a network. Rogue access points and their clients undermine the
	security of an enterprise network by potentially allowing unchallenged
	access to the network by any wireless user or client in the physical vicinity.
	Rogue access points and users can also interfere with the operation of
	your enterprise network.
