Rogue AP Detection screen
The Wireless Access Point - Rogue AP Detection screen allows the network
administrator to set up rogue AP detection which provides another level of security to the
wireless network. Once all mesh nodes have been deployed, you can enter their MAC
addresses as described below to only allow known nodes to join the mesh network. Any
other nodes will not be able to join the network even if the nodes contain the correct
SSID and security credentials. These nodes will be detected as rogue APs and a
notification can be sent to the operator.
To set up Rogue AP detection:
Step
1
Click on the Wireless Access Point - Rogue AP Detection at the left of the
screen to call up the Rogue AP Detection screen.
2
Select Enable to activate Rogue AP detection.
3
Enter an email address in the To field where notifications can be sent for any
rogue or non-trusted APs that are detected.
4
Select the filtering options for the notification of any rogue APs that are
detected.
•
SSID Filter - This option will send only rogue APs that match the APs
SSID or wireless bridge's SSID.
•
Channel Filter - This option will send only rogue APs that match the AP's
channel of the wireless bridge's channel.
Note: When both options are selected, only APs that match both the SSID
and channel are sent in the notification.
5
Click Apply to enable changes.
6
In the MAC Address field, enter the MAC Address of each AP in the network
that you want the AP being configured to accept as a trusted AP.
(You may add up to 200 APs. The MAC Address for the AP is located on the
Wireless Access Point - General screen.)
7
Click Add button to add the MAC address to the Known AP MAC Address
List.
