Configuring Wireless Rogue AP Detection
A Rogue AP is an access point connected to your network without authorization. It
is not under the management of your network administrators and does not
necessarily conform to your network security policies.
The security appliance provides proactive Rogue AP Detection in the 2.4-GHz
band. Rogue AP Detection is able to discover, detect, and report unauthorized
access points. You can specify an authorized access point by its MAC address.
STEP 1 Click Wireless > Rogue AP Detection.
The Rogue AP Detection window opens.
STEP 2 Click On to enable Rogue AP Detection, or click Off to disable it.
STEP 3 If you enable Rogue AP Detection, all rogue access points detected by the
security appliance in the vicinity of the network appear in the list of Detected
Rogue Access Points. The MAC address of the detected access point is
displayed. You can locate the rogue access points by their MAC addresses and
monitor them until they are eliminated or authorized. Click Refresh to update the
data.
STEP 4 If an access point listed as a rogue is actually a legitimate access point, you can
click Grant Access to set it as an authorized access point. The granted access
point is moved to the list of Authorized Access Points.
STEP 5 The security appliance will not detect the authorized access points.
• To add an authorized access point, click Add. Enter the MAC address of the
access point and click OK. You can specify up to 128 authorized access
points.
• To delete an authorized access point from the list, click the Delete (x) icon.
