potential rogue APs within the network. Define an interval in the
Scan Interval
field for associated MUs to beacon in an attempt to
locate a rogue AP. Set the interval to a value sooner than the
default if a large volume of device network traffic is anticipated
within the coverage area of the target access point. The
Interval
field is not available unless the RF Scan by MU checkbox
is selected. Motorola clients must be associated and have rogue
AP detection enabled.
Select the
RF On-Channel Detection
access point to detect rogue APs on its current (legal) channel
setting.
If the access point is a dual-radio model, select the
Detector Radio
checkbox to enable the selected 11a or 11b/g
radio to scan for rogue APs. For example, if
existing 11a radio would act as the "detector radio," scanning on
all 11b/g channels while the existing 11b/g radio continues to
service MUs. The assumption is, when planning to do an all
channel scan on one band, the MUs would also be on that band.
The radio on the other band is used as the "detector radio."
Select this checkbox to scan for rouges over all channels on both of
the access point's 11a and 11bg radio bands. The switching of radio
bands is based on a timer with no user intervention required. This
option provides a good opportunity to detect rogues, as rogues
often roam from one association to a stronger one regardless of the
current operating channel.
