Probe Table

The Access Point 530 supports the Rogue AP Detection feature in ProCurve
Mobility Manager by making available, via SNMP, a table of PROBE requests
from unassociated audible clients.

Probe Table Description

The first time a PROBE request is received from an unassociated audible
client, a new entry in the Probe Table is created, consisting of:
Radio number (1 or 2)
■
Client MAC address
■
■ RSSI in dB (with no scaling for antenna gain or other factors)
■ SSID of the PROBE request
Number of PROBE requests for this client
■
■ First received PROBE request timestamp
■ Last received PROBE request timestamp
Data rate at which the PROBE was received.
■
When existing entries are updated with new PROBE requests, the following
attributes are modified:
RSSI
■
■ PROBE request SSID
Number of PROBE requests for this client.
■
Last received PROBE request timestamp
