Enable and Configure Rogue AP Detection
The wireless access point can detect rogue access points and prevent them from connecting
to the wireless access point. The wireless access point maintains a list of access points it
detects in the area. Initially all detected access points are displayed in the Unknown AP List.
You restrict communication to approved access points by adding them to the Known AP List
and enabling the rogue AP detection feature.
If you enable rogue AP detection, the wireless access point continuously scans the wireless
network and collects information about all access points on its channel.
To enable and configure rogue AP detection:
1. Select Configuration > Security > Advanced > Rogue AP. The Rogue AP screen
displays. (The following figure shows examples in the Known AP List and Unknown AP
List.)
