4.2 Rogue AP Detection

Rogue APs are wireless access points interacting with the network managed by the
NWA3000-N series AP but which are not under the control of the network
administrator. In short, they are a security risk because they circumvent network
security policy. AP detection only works when at least 1 AP is configured for
Monitor mode.
The following are some suggestions on monitor AP placement:
• Neighboring companies that both support wireless network. If you can detect
your neighbor's APs and you know they are 'friendly', you can add them to the
friendly exception list.
• Reception areas. If a reception area has a high volume of visitor traffic, it might
be useful to see if anyone is setting up their wireless device as an AP.
• High security areas. An AP set to Monitor mode will let you see if anyone sets up
an unauthorized AP that could potentially compromise your security.
