Monitoring Rogue And Rf Scan Access Points; Table 42: Access Point Authentication Failure Status - D-Link DWS-3000 Series User Manual

D-Link Unified Access System
To view additional data (beacon information) for an AP in the failure list, you can search for the MAC address of the failed
AP on the Rogue/RF Scan page. However, some APs that attempt to contact the switch on the wired network might not be
detected during the RF scan.

Monitoring Rogue and RF Scan Access Points

The radios on each D-Link Access Point can periodically scan the radio frequency to collect information about other APs and
wireless clients that are within range. In normal operating mode the AP always scans on the operational channel for the
radio. Two other scan modes are available for each radio on the APs:
• Scan Other Channels—Configures the AP to periodically leave its operational channel and scan other channels within
that frequency.
• Scan Sentry—Disables normal operation of the radio and performs a continuous radio scan. In this mode, no beacons
are sent, and no clients are allowed to associate with the AP.
When Scan Other Channels or Scan Sentry modes are enabled, the AP scans all available channels on each radio. When
the scan is complete, the AP sends information it collected during the RF scan to the switch that manages it. For information
about how to configure the scan mode, see
The D-Link Unified Switch considers an access point to be a Rogue if is detected during the RF scan process and the MAC
address of the detected AP is not in the local or RADIUS Valid AP database or if the AP is not managed by a peer switch.
To start mitigation on any Rogue Access Point, select the checkbox of the AP and click Add to Attack List.
From the Monitoring > Access Points > Rogue/RF Scan Access Points page, you can view information about all APs
detected via RF scan, including those reported as Rogues.
You can sort the APs in the list based any of the column headings. For example, to group all Rogue APs together, click
Status.
