3.4.4Configure Your Other Access Points

Access point A is now configured to do the following.

Scan for access points in its coverage area every ten minutes.

Recognize friendly access points from a list.

Send immediate alerts to your email account if it detects an access point not on the list.

Now you need to configure the other wireless access points on your network to do the same things.

For each access point, take the following steps.

1From a computer on the wired network, enter the access point’s IP address and login to its Web configurator. See Table 3 on page 56 for the example IP addresses.

2Import the friendly AP list. Click ROGUE AP > Configuration > Browse.... Find the “Flist” file where you previously saved it on the network and click Open.

3Click Import. Check the ROGUE AP > Friendly AP screen to ensure that the friendly AP list has been correctly uploaded.

4Activate periodic rogue AP detection. See Section 3.4.2 on page 60.

5Set up e-mail logs as in Section 3.4.3 on page 61, but change the Mail Subject field so you can tell which AP the alerts come from (“ALERT_Access_Point_B”, etc.)
