Chapter 3 Tutorials Note: The NWA can detect the MAC addresses of APs automatically. However, it is more secure to obtain the correct MAC addresses from another source and add them to the friendly AP list manually. For example, an attacker's AP mimicking the correct SSID could be placed on the friendly AP list by accident, if selected from the list of auto-detected APs. In this example you have spoken to the coffee shop's owner, who has told you the correct MAC address of his AP. In this example, you will do the following things. 1 Set up and save a friendly AP list. 2 Activate periodic Rogue AP Detection. 3 Set up e-mail alerts. 4 Configure your other access points. 5 Test the setup. 3.4.1 Set Up and Save a Friendly AP list Take the following steps to set up and save a list of access points you want to allow in your network's coverage area. 1 On a computer connected to the wired network (F in the previous figure), open your Internet browser and enter the URL of access point A (192.168.1.1).
