In short, they are a security risk because they circumvent network security policy. AP detection only works when at least 1 AP is configured for Monitor mode. The following are some suggestions on monitor AP placement: • Neighboring companies that both support wireless network. If you can detect your neighbor's APs and you know they are 'friendly', you can add them to the friendly exception list. • Reception areas. If a reception area has a high volume of visitor traffic, it might be useful to see if anyone is setting up their wireless device as an AP. • High security areas. An AP set to Monitor mode will let you see if anyone sets up an unauthorized AP that could potentially compromise your security. NWA3000-N Series User's Guide 63
