The access point can be configured to periodically scan all radio channels and find
other access points within range. A database of nearby access points is
maintained where any rogue APs can be identified.

Interface Configuration (Wireless)
• While the access point scans a channel for rogue APs, wireless clients will
not be able to connect to the access point. Therefore, avoid frequent
scanning or scans of a long duration unless there is a reason to believe that
more intensive scanning is required to find a rogue AP.
• A "rogue AP" is either an access point that is not authorized to participate
in the wireless network, or an access point that does not have the correct
security configuration. Rogue access points can be identified by unknown
BSSID (MAC address) or SSID configuration. A database of nearby access
points should therefore be maintained on a RADIUS server, allowing any
rogue APs to be identified (see "rogue-ap authenticate" on page 135).
