Wireless Access Point User Guide
Rogue APs
A "Rouge AP" is an Access Point which should not be in use, and so can be considered to be providing unauthorized access to your LAN.
This Access Point can assist to locate 2 types of Rogue APs:
•APs which have Wireless security disabled.
•APs which are not in the list of valid APs which you have provided.
When a Rogue AP is located, it is recorded in the log. If using SNMP, you can also choose to have detection of a Rogue AP generate an SNMP trap.
