Rogue Access Points

Unidentified access points that use the SSID of a legitimate network can present a serious security
threat. Rogue Access Point Detection is enabled by default on managed access points. To detect
rogue access points, the Wireless Management System or access point scans the wireless
environment on all available channels, looking for unidentified access points.

points from a saved file. This file must be a simple text file with one MAC address per

added to the approved list and the Known AP List.
