Using clients to detect rogue devices
The access point can use an associated Client that has its rogue AP detection feature enabled to
scan for rogue APs. Once detected, the rogue AP(s) can be moved to the list of allowed devices (if
appropriate) within the Active APs screen. When adding an Client’s detection capabilities with the
access point’s own rogue AP detection functionality, the rogue detection area can be significantly
extended.
To use associated rogue AP enabled Clients to scan for rogue APs:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Rogue AP Detection -> Client Scan from the
Mobility 5181 Access Point menu tree.
The On Demand Client Scan screen displays with associated Clients with rogue AP detection
enabled
2. Highlight an Client from within the Rogue AP enabled Clients field and click the scan button.
The target Client begins scanning for rogue devices using the detection parameters defined
within the Rogue AP Detection screen. To modify the detection parameters, see
“Configuring
rogue AP detection” on page 162.
Those devices detected as rogue APs display within the Scan Result table. Use the displayed
AP MAC, ESSID and RSSI values to determine the device listed in the table is truly a rogue
device or one inadvertently detected as a rogue AP.
3. If necessary, highlight an individual Client from within the Scan Result field and click the Add to
Allowed AP List button to move the AP into the Allowed APs table within the Active APs screen.
4. Additionally, if necessary, click the Add All to Allowed APs List button to move every device
within the Scan Result table into the Allowed APs table within the Active APs screen. Only use
this option if you are sure all of the devices detected and displayed within the Scan Results
table are non-hostile APs.
5. Highlight a different Client from the Rogue AP enabled Clients field as needed to scan for
additional rogue APs.
6. Click Logout to return to the Rogue AP Detection screen.
