Rogue Access Points |
| ||
Unidentified access points that use the SSID of a legitimate network can present a serious security threat. Rogue Access Point Detection is enabled by default on managed access points. To detect rogue access points, the Wireless Management Software or access point scans the wireless environment on all available channels, looking for unidentified access points.
