6.2.3 Unapproved APs (Reported by APs)

Use the

Unapproved APs (Reported by APs)

tab to review access points detected by associated switch

access port radios that have been restricted from operation within the switch managed network. The criteria
for restriction was defined using the

Security

>

Access Port Intrusion Detection

>

Configuration

screen.

To view access port detected unapproved access points:

1. Select

Security

>

Access Port Intrusion Detection

from the main menu tree.

2. Click on the

Unapproved APs (Reported by APs)

tab.

3. The

Unapproved APs (Reported by APs)

table displays the following information:

BSS MAC Address

Displays the MAC Address of each Unapproved AP. These MAC Addresses are access points
observed on the network, but have yet to be added to the list of Approved APs, and are
therefore interpreted as a threat on the network.

If a MAC Address displays on the list incorrectly, click the

Allow

button and add the MAC

Address to a new Allowed AP index.

Reporting AP

Displays the numerical value for the radio used with the detecting AP.

Channel

Displays the channel the Unapproved AP is currently transmitting on.

Signal Strength (in
dbm)

Displays the Relative Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) for the detected (and unapproved) AP.
AP’s with a strong signal may pose a more significant risk within the switch managed
network.
