Chapter 10 Wireless Figure 45 Rogue AP Example Friendly APs If you have more than one AP in your wireless network, you should also configure a list of "friendly" APs. Friendly APs are wireless access points that you know are not a threat. It is recommended that you export (save) your list of friendly APs often, especially if you have a network with a large number of access points. Exported lists show MAC addresses in txt file format separated by line breaks. Rogue AP Detection This feature allows the Zyxel Device to monitor the WiFi signals for other wireless APs (see also Section 1.2.3 on page 15). Detected APs will appear in the Monitor > Wireless > Detected Device screen, where the Zyxel Device will label APs with the criteria you select in Suspected Rogue AP Classification Rule as a suspected rogue. The APs which you mark as either rogue or friendly APs in the Monitor > Wireless > Detected Device screen will appear in the Wireless > Rogue AP screen. See Section 1.4 on page 18 to know which models support Rogue AP Detection. Note: Enabling Rogue AP Detection might affect the performance of wireless clients associated with the Zyxel Device.
