The list contains the MAC addresses of all APs that have been added to the Known AP List.
By default, the filename is Rogue2.cfg. You can use a text editor or web browser to open the
file and view its contents.
Importing a Trusted AP List
You can import a list of known APs from a saved list. The list might be acquired from another
AP or created from a text file. If the MAC address of an AP appears in the Trusted AP List, it
is not detected as a rogue.
To import an AP list from a file, use these steps:
In the Download/Backup Trusted AP List area, select Download (PC to AP).
Click Browse and choose the file to import.
The file that you import must be a plain-text file with a .txt or .cfg extension. Entries in the file
are MAC addresses in hexadecimal format with each octet separated by colons, for example
00:11:22:33:44:55. You must separate entries with a single space. For the AP to accept the file,
it must contain only MAC addresses.
Choose whether to replace the existing Trusted AP List or add the entries in the imported file
to the Trusted AP List.
a. Select Replace to import the list and replace the contents of the Known AP List.
b. Select Merge to import the list and add the APs in the imported file to the APs currently
shown in the Known AP List.
Click Save.
When the import is complete, the screen refreshes and the MAC addresses of the APs in the
imported file appear in the Known AP List.
Virtual Access Points (VAPs) segment the wireless LAN into multiple broadcast domains that
are the wireless equivalent of Ethernet VLANs. VAPs simulate multiple access points in one
physical WAP device. The AP supports up to 8 VAPs. Each VAP can be independently enabled
or disabled, with the exception of VAP0. VAP0 is the physical radio interface and remains
enabled as long as the radio is enabled. To disable operation of VAP0, the radio itself must be
disabled.
