Default Setting

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Wireless)

Command Usage

Enabling authentication in conjunction with a database of approved access points stored on a RADIUS server allows the access point to discover rogue APs. With authentication enabled and a configure RADIUS server, the access point checks the MAC address/Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of each access point that it finds against a RADIUS server to determine whether the access point is allowed. With authentication disabled, the access point can identify its neighboring access points only; it cannot identify whether the access points are allowed or are rogues. If you enable authentication, you should also configure a RADIUS server for this access point (see “RADIUS” on page 6-7).

Example

Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#rogue-ap authenticate

Enterprise AP(if-wireless g)#
