Detecting and Locating Rogue Access PointsDetecting and Locating Rogue Access Points
When the Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points are powered up and associated with Cisco
Wireless LAN Controllers, the Cisco Wireless Control System built into the Operating System immedi-
ately starts listening for Rogue Access Points
. When a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller detects a rogue
access point, it immediately notifies Cisco WCS, which creates a rogue access point alarm.
When Cisco WCS receives a rogue access point message from a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, Cisco
WCS generates an alarm, with an indicator visible in the lower left corner of all Cisco WCS User
Interface pages. Notice that the following example shows 72 Cisco WCS rogue access point alarms.
