Configuring Scanning APs
This section describes how to configure an AP as a scanning-only AP. After you
have performed the basic network management configuration and radio
management configuration described in this chapter, perform the additional
configuration described in this section to make the AP into a scanning AP.
Scanning APs can detect and report “bug-lighted” clients (clients associated to
unauthorized access points). Scanning APs do not accept client assoc iations.
For more information on scanning APs and other requirements for using scanning
APs with a WLSE, see the online help “Radio Management” chapter in the User
Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.7.
Note Radio scanning requires a read/write SNMP community string on APs. For more
information, see Radio Management Setup—IOS Devices, page 5-10,
Table5-3 on p age 5-20 lists the high level tasks for setting up scanning APs.
