6.11 Configuring Enhanced Beacons and Probes

The switch can be configured to detect and locate rogue APs and MUs. Refer to
4-85 to enable an AP to forward beacons and association information for AP radios to detect a rogue. An AP
can also be configured to forward MU probe requests to the switch to help locate a rogue MU.
NOTE: Currently, only an AP300 model access port supports enhanced beacons and
probes request forward configuration.
Use the Enhanced Beacons/Probe screen to configure enhanced beacons/probes and their output reports.
The Enhanced Probes and Beacons screens displays four tabs supporting the following configuration
activities:
•

Configuring the Beacon Table

• Configuring the Probe Table
• Reviewing Found Beacons
• Reviewing Found Probes
6.11.1 Configuring the Beacon Table
The Beacon Table is used to detect rogue APs. An AP300 transmits beacons and MUs send a probe request
to the AP for association. The AP300 (on receipt of the probe request) sends a probe response and forms an
AP-MU association.
When enabling an Enhanced Beacon, the switch allows adopted access ports to periodically scan for rogue
APs on different channels without disassociating MUs. The beacons collected in the scan are passed on to
the switch so required information is gathered to locate a particular rogue AP. Refer to
on page 4-85 to enable an AP to forward beacons and association information for AP radios to detect a rouge.
