6.11.2 Configuring the Probe Table

Define enhanced probes to detect rogue MUs within the network. An AP300 transmits beacons and the MUs
sends a probe request to the AP for association. An AP300 (on receipt of the probe request) sends a probe
response and associates to the MU.
When using an enhanced probe, an AP300 sends a probe response to the MU to associate. At the same time,
the AP forwards the MU's probe request information to the switch. The switch maintains a table of the probe
requests the AP300 receives from MUs. In conjunction with the Motorola RF Management application, the
AP locates the rogue MU and displays its location within a Motorola RFMS maintained site map.
