Rogue Access Point (Port) Detection
Rogue Access Points (APs) are a hot area of concern with respect to LAN security. “Rogue AP” is a term used to describe an
unauthorized access point that is connected to the production network or operating in a stand-alone mode (in a parking lot
or in a neighbor’s building). Rogue APs, by definition, are not under the management of network administrators and do not
conform to any network security policies.
Although 802.1x security settings should completely protect the LAN, organizations are not always fully compliant with the
newest wireless-security best practices. In addition, organizations want to be able to detect and disarm rogue APs. The WS
2000 Wireless Switch provides a mechanism for detecting and reporting rogue APs.
Select Network Configuration --> Wireless --> Rogue AP Detection from the navigation menu on the left.
