Table 25. Basic Rogue AP Detection Setting Description Rogue AP Detection All neighbor as well as rogue access points are displayed. Maximum of 512 access points (Neighbor as well as Rogue) will be detected and maintained in the controller. The controller also maintains current count of the Rogue access points as well rouge access points seen in the last 24 hours. When external storage is present, rogue access point information is saved for 72 hours. Rogue Detection Interval The recommended setting is Low. With this setting, the access point goes off-channel at less frequently compared to Aggressive. The Low setting should work in most cases, unless you require frequent scanning due to security concerns. Alert Severity The severity of the alarm when rogue access point are detected. Configuring Advanced Rogue Detection Settings This screen allows you to identify what could be an access point from a neighboring business that is known. As you identify them, mark them here so that the wireless controller does not keep finding them and flagging them. This will help you to identify your own equipment that should be managed and is not (the access points that really are rogue). Rogue means both a wireless and wired connection. A neighbor is an access point with only a wireless connection, not a LAN connection. Chapter 8: Configuring Security and Wireless Security Profiles | 90
