The rogue list is a list of AP MAC addresses belonging to a switch. 3WXM
will attack the AP MAC addresses in the rogue list whenever they are
present on the network.
1 In the list of rogues on the Alarm screen, select the devices you want to
place on the rogue list.
2 Click Add to Rogue List in the Task List panel. The Select Devices dialog is
displayed.
3 If the switch(es) on which you are configuring the rogue list are in a
Mobility Domain, select the Mobility Domain. Otherwise, select None.
4 Click Next to select all of the switches that are listed, or click Next to
individual switches to select them.
5 Click OK. The devices are added to the rogue list. If countermeasures are
enabled, MSS uses them to attack the devices on the list.
If a device in the alarm list belongs to a third-party AP in your network,
you can convert the rogue into a third-party AP. When you convert a
rogue into a third-party AP, the rogue disappears from the alarm list, and
allows you to place the AP in your network plan.
Converting a rogue into a third-party AP applies only to the network plan,
in 3WXM. 3WXM does not send this information in any form to the WX
switches in the network. To prevent MSS from issuing countermeasures
against a third-party AP, you must also add the AP to the ignore list.
3WXM does send the ignore list to the WX switches in the network.
To convert a rogue into a third-party AP, use the following procedure.
1 In the list of rogues on the Alarm screen, select the device you want to
convert to a third-party AP.
2 Click Create Third Party AP in the Task List panel. The Third Party AP
Properties dialog is displayed.
