Rogue AP Commands

ʺRogue APʺ describes an access point that is not authorized to participate on the network. It may
not have the proper security settings in place. Rogue APs can potentially allow unauthorized
users access to the network. In addition, a legitimate client may mistakenly associate to a Rogue
AP with invalid encryption settings and not to the AP that has been configured for it to use. This
can cause a denial of service problem.
This feature scans the airwaves and collects information about access points in the area. It lists
neighbor access points found during the scan in the Neighbor AP Detection Status page after the
scan is complete.
In addition, if RADIUS is enabled, it performs a RADIUS server look up for the MAC address of
each access point found. It reports access points whose MAC addresses it finds in the RADIUS
server in the Neighbor AP Detection status list. It reports access points whose MAC addresses it
does not find as rogue APs in the syslog.
