Rogue Detection Tab The Rogue Detection tab lists information about non-3Com wireless devices detected in the Mobility Domain. The Mobility System Software (MSS) running on WX switches continually performs RF scans to detect rogue access points. Normally, if a scan detects a third-party access point, MSS assumes the access point is a rogue and issues countermeasures against it. You can identify friendly access points and prevent countermeasures from being used against them by adding them to the third-party APs section.

Unless you identify a third-party wireless device as a known device or third-party AP, WX switches consider the device to be a rogue AP and issue countermeasures against the device to prevent clients from being able to use it.

You can display data about rogues that are currently in operation as well as currently inactive rogues that were detected in the past. You can even display the estimated physical location of a rogue.

To display the Rogue Detection tab, select Monitor > Rogue Detection from the main 3WXM toolbar.
