WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual Note: Use caution when enabling both "Mark Unknown APs as Rogue" and "Disable Users from Connecting to Rogue APs." If the system is installed in an area where APs from neighboring locations can be detected, these two options will disable all APs in the area. Misconfigured AP Detection If desired, you can specify the valid channels for an AP. This capability is primarily used when third-party APs are being used in the network, since the WFS709TP cannot configure the thirdparty APs. If a valid AP is detected as misconfigured, the system will deny access to the misconfigured AP. In cases where someone gains configuration access to a third-party AP and changes the configuration, this policy is useful in blocking access to that AP until the configuration can be fixed. Configuring Misconfigured AP Protection An AP is classified as misconfigured if it does not meet configured valid channels. To configure protection for misconfigured APs, navigate to Configuration > Advanced > RF Policies > Policies > Misconfigured AP as shown in Figure 12-4. Figure 12-4 Table 12-2 describes the fields shown in this section. Table 12-2.
