Viewing AP Triangulation Information

Triangulation information is provided to help locate the rogue client by showing which managed APs detect
the each device discovered through the RF Scan. Up to six triangulation entries are reported for each AP
detected through the RF Scan: three entries by non-sentry APs and three entries by sentry APs. Since an AP
may have one radio configured in sentry mode and another radio configured in non-sentry mode, the same AP
can appear in both lists. If the AP has not been detected by three APs, then the list may contain zero, one or
two entries.
To view information about another AP detected through the RF Scan, return to the main Rogue/RF Scan page
and click the MAC address of the AP with the information to view.
Table 289 shows the information the Access Point Triangulation Status page shows for an individual access
point.

Description
The Ethernet MAC address of the detected AP. This could be a physical radio
interface or VAP MAC. For D-Link APs this is always a VAP MAC address.
Identifies whether the AP that detected the entry is in sentry or non-sentry mode.
Shows the MAC address of the AP that detected the RF Scan entry. The address links
to the Valid AP database.
Identifies the radio on the AP that detected the RF Scan entry.
Shows the received signal strength indicator in terms of percentage for the non-
sentry AP. The range is 0—100%. A value of 0 indicates the AP is not detected.
Received signal strength for the non-sentry AP. The range is –127 dBm to 127 dBm,
but most values are expected to range from –95 dBm to –10 dBm.
Noise reported on the channel by the non-sentry AP.
Time since this AP was last detected in an RF scan.
