5.4.1 Rogue AP Containment

When the NXC discovers a rogue AP within its broadcast radius, it can react in one
of two ways: If the rogue AP is connected directly to the network (such as plugged
into a switch downstream of the NXC), then the network administrator must
manually disconnect it. The NXC does not allow the isolation of a rogue AP
connected directly to the network.
However, if a rogue AP independent of the NXC mimics a legitimate one, then the
NXC can interfere with it by broadcasting dummy packets so that it cannot makes
connections with employee clients and capture data from them.
