7.3.7 Rogue AP Scanning

Rogue AP detection is another essential way of protecting your network
environment. Wide AP Management supports the detection of non-authorized
access points present in the vicinity.
Non-authorized access points pose a possible problem in terms of wireless
interference. Go to Main Menu >> Access Points >> Enter Local Area AP
Management >> Rogue AP Detection to set up the function. Admin should then
determine the scanning interval, select an AP for the scanning job as sensors, and
add AP's shown in the suspected rogue AP list to the trusted list for further
management if it can be manually identified as a safe source.
The discovered access points are temporarily put in the Rogue AP list. Click on one
of the hyperlinked BSSID's to see its detailed information. However, if admin
recognizes some of the listed APs as trusted, just check the checkboxes before the
BSSID column and then click Add to Trusted AP List. This action will be recorded
in the Trusted AP Configuration.
