A "rogue AP" is either an access point that is not authorized to participate in the
wireless network, or an access point that does not have the correct security
configuration. Rogue APs can allow unauthorized access to the network, or fool
client stations into mistakenly associating with them and thereby blocking access
to network resources.
The access point can be configured to periodically scan all radio channels and find
other access points within range. A database of nearby access points is maintained
where any rogue APs can be identified. Rogue access points can be identified by
unknown BSSID (MAC address).
