Displaying rogue AP details
Before moving a rogue AP into the list of allowed APs within the Active APs screen, the device
address and rogue detection information for that AP should be evaluated.
To evaluate the properties of a rogue AP:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Rogue AP Detection -> Active APs from the Mobility
5181 Access Point menu tree.
2. Highlight a target rogue AP from within Rogue APs table and click the Details button.
The Detail screen displays for the rogue AP.
3. Refer to the Rogue AP Detail field for the following information:
4. Refer to the Rogue Detector Detail field for the following information:
BSSID/MAC Displays the MAC address of the rogue AP. This information could
be useful if the MAC address is determined to be a Brocade MAC
address and the device is interpreted as non-hostile and the
device should be defined as an allowed AP.
ESSID Displays the ESSID of the rogue AP. This information could be
useful if the ESSID is determined to be non-hostile and the device
should be defined as an allowed AP.
RSSI Shows the Relative Signal Strength (RSSI) of the rogue AP. Use this
information to assess how close the rogue AP is. The higher the
RSSI, the closer the rogue AP. If multiple access point’s have
detected the same rogue AP, RSSI can be useful in triangulating
the location of the rogue AP.
