Rogue Access Points - Fluke AIRCHECK User Manual

Ad hoc client devices communicate directly with other clients,
not through an access point. These devices can give hackers
access to data transmitted on the network. (Some IT policies for
networks allow ad hoc devices.)

Rogue Access Points

The Rogue Access Points test indicates whether
unauthorized access points are detected with a rating of
Pass, Warning, or
all rogue access points heard at your location.
Identification of rogue access points requires
configuration of Access Control List (ACL). The Rogue
Access Point Test is disabled by default. However, when
it is enabled, it runs as part of AutoTest. To enable the
Rogue Access Point Test, select Tools > Threshold /
AutoTest Settings > Rogue AccessPoint Test.
Initially, all access points are set to a default status of
Unknown, but may also be set to Authorized. See page 46.
