Saving the Trusted AP List

To create a Trusted AP List and save it to a file:
Select Wireless > Rogue AP Detection.
In the Detected Rogue AP List, click Trust for the APs that are known to you. The
trusted APs move to the Trusted AP List.
In the Download/Backup Trusted AP List area, click Backup (AP to PC).
Click Save.
The list contains the MAC addresses of all APs that have been added to the
Known AP List. By default, the filename is Rogue2.cfg. You can use a text editor or
web browser to open the file and view its contents.

Importing a Trusted AP List

You can import a list of known APs from a saved list. The list may be acquired from
another AP or created from a text file. If the MAC address of an AP appears in the
Trusted AP List, it is not detected as a rogue.
To import an AP list from a file:
Select Wireless > Rogue AP Detection.
In the Download/Backup Trusted AP List area, click Download (PC to AP).
In the Source File Name field, click Browse to choose the file to import.
The file that you import must be a plain-text file with a .txt or .cfg extension. Entries
in the file are MAC addresses in hexadecimal format with each octet separated by
colons, for example, 00:11:22:33:44:55. You must separate entries with a single
space. For the AP to accept the file, it must contain only MAC addresses.
In the File Management Destination field, choose whether to replace the existing
Trusted AP List or add the entries in the imported file to the Trusted AP List. The
options are:
• Replace—Imports the list and replaces the contents of the Known AP List.
• Merge—Imports the list and adds the APs in the imported file to the APs
currently shown in the Known AP List.
