Chapter 1 Introduction Note: Make sure the VLAN settings on both the root AP and the wireless repeater are exactly the same so they can communicate. Note: When wireless bridge is enabled, wireless interfaces for client devices will be disabled. You can only transmit data through the wireless repeater's ports. To set up a WDS in AC (AP Controller)-managed Zyxel Devices, see the ZyWALL ATP, ZyWALL VPN, USG FLEX, or NXC User's Guide. 1.3.3 Radio Frequency (RF) Monitor The Zyxel Device can be set to work as an RF monitor to discover nearby Access Points. The information it obtains from other APs is used to tag possible rogue APs and quarantine them if the Zyxel Device is managed by an AP controller (see Section 2.1.3 on page 32). If the Zyxel Device's radio setting is set to MON Mode (RF Monitor mode), it will serve as a dedicated RF monitor and its AP clients are disconnected. The models that do not support MON Mode support Rogue AP Detection (see Section 10.3 on page 124). Rogue AP Detection allows the AP to scan all channels similar to MON Mode except that the Zyxel Device still works as an AP while it scans the environment for wireless signals. To see which Zyxel Devices support the RF Monitor feature, see Section 1.2 on page 14. The Zyxel Device in MON Mode scans a range of WiFi channels that you specify in a MON Profile, either in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. To scan both bands, you need to set both radio 1 and radio 2 in MON Mode. Once a rogue AP is detected, the network administrator can manually change the network settings to limit its access to the network using its MAC address or have the device physically removed. If the Zyxel Device is managed by an AP controller, the network administrator can also use Rogue AP Containment through the AP controller. MON Mode in Standalone Mode To use an RF monitor in standalone mode, do the following steps: 1 Create a MON Profile in Configuration > Object > MON Profile > Add. Specify a Channel dwell time to determine how long the RF monitor scans a specific channel before moving to the next one. 2 To scan all 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels, select auto in Scan Channel Mode. Make sure that the Activate check box is selected and click OK. 3 Go to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Management screen and set Radio 1 OP Mode (2.4 GHz) and/or Radio 2 OP Mode (5 GHz) to MON Mode. 4 Select the Radio 1(2) Profile that you created in the previous step. Make sure that the Radio 1(2) Activate check box is selected and click Apply. 5 Go to Monitor > Wireless > Detected Device to see a list of APs scanned by the RF monitor. 6 Select an AP or APs in the list and click Mark as Rogue AP or Mark as Friendly AP. MON Mode in AC (AP Controller)-Managed Zyxel Devices For AP controller-managed Zyxel Devices, do the following steps in the AP Controller Web Configurator: NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide 26

Chapter 1 Introduction

NWA/WAC/WAX Series User’s Guide

Note: Make sure the VLAN settings on both the root AP and the wireless repeater are exactly

the same so they can communicate.

Note: When wireless bridge is enabled, wireless interfaces for client devices will be disabled.

You can only transmit data through the wireless repeater’s ports.

To set up a WDS in AC (AP Controller)-managed Zyxel Devices, see the ZyWALL ATP, ZyWALL VPN, USG

FLEX, or NXC User’s Guide.

1.3.3

Radio Frequency (RF) Monitor

The Zyxel Device can be set to work as an RF monitor to discover nearby Access Points. The information

it obtains from other APs is used to tag possible rogue APs and quarantine them if the Zyxel Device is

managed by an AP controller (see

Section 2.1.3 on page 32

). If the Zyxel Device’s radio setting is set to

MON Mode

(RF Monitor mode), it will serve as a dedicated RF monitor and its AP clients are

disconnected.

The models that do not support

MON Mode

support

Rogue AP Detection

(see

Section 10.3 on page 124

Rogue AP Detection

allows the AP to scan all channels similar to

MON Mode

except that the Zyxel

Device still works as an AP while it scans the environment for wireless signals. To see which Zyxel Devices

support the RF Monitor feature, see

Section 1.2 on page 14

The Zyxel Device in

MON Mode

scans a range of WiFi channels that you specify in a

MON Profile

, either in

the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. To scan both bands, you need to set both radio 1 and radio 2 in

MON Mode

Once a rogue AP is detected, the network administrator can manually change the network settings to

limit its access to the network using its MAC address or have the device physically removed. If the Zyxel

Device is managed by an AP controller, the network administrator can also use

Rogue AP Containment

through the AP controller.

MON Mode in Standalone Mode

To use an RF monitor in standalone mode, do the following steps:

Create a

MON Profile

Configuration > Object > MON Profile > Add

. Specify a

Channel dwell time

determine how long the RF monitor scans a specific channel before moving to the next one.

To scan all 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels, select

auto

Scan Channel Mode

. Make sure that the

Activate

check box is selected and click

Go to the

Configuration > Wireless > AP Management

screen and set

Radio 1 OP Mode

(2.4 GHz) and/or

Radio 2

OP Mode

(5 GHz) to

MON Mode

Select the

Radio 1(2) Profile

that you created in the previous step. Make sure that the

Radio 1(2)

Activate

check box is selected and click

Apply

Go to

Monitor > Wireless > Detected Device

to see a list of APs scanned by the RF monitor.

Select an AP or APs in the list and click

Mark as Rogue AP

Mark as Friendly AP

MON Mode in AC (AP Controller)-Managed Zyxel Devices

For AP controller-managed Zyxel Devices, do the following steps in the AP Controller Web Configurator:
