Ap Management - 3Com 3CRWEASYA73 / WL-575 User Manual

NOTE: 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.

The Web, Telnet, and SNMP management interfaces are enabled and open to all
IP addresses by default. To provide more security for management access to the
access point, specific interfaces can be disabled and management restricted to a
single IP address or a limited range of IP addresses.
Once you specify an IP address or range of addresses, access to management
interfaces is restricted to the specified addresses. If anyone tries to access a
management interface from an unauthorized address, the access point will reject
the connection.
Authentication: Enables or disables RADIUS authentication. Enabling RADIUS
Authentication allows the access point to discover rogue access points. With
RADIUS authentication enabled, the access point checks the MAC address/
Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of each access point that it finds against a
RADIUS server to determine whether the access point is allowed. With RADIUS
authentication disabled, the access point can detect its neighboring access
points only; it cannot identify whether the access points are allowed or are
rogues. If you enable RADIUS authentication, you must configure a RADIUS
server for this access point. (Default: Disable)
AP Scan Interval: Sets the time between each rogue AP scan.
(Range: 30 -10080 minutes; Default: 720 minutes)
AP Scan Duration – Sets the length of time for each rogue AP scan. A long scan
duration time will detect more access points in the area, but causes more
disruption to client access. (Range: 100 -1000 milliseconds; Default: 350
milliseconds)
AP Scan Now: Starts an immediate rogue AP scan on the radio interface.
(Default: Disable)
