Using MUs to detect rogue devices

The access point can use an associated MU 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 MU’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 MUs to scan for rogue APs:

1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Rogue AP Detection -> MU Scan from the Brocade

Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point menu tree.

The On Demand MU Scan screen displays with associated MUs with rogue AP detection
enabled

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.

Finder’s MAC

The MAC address of the access point detecting the rogue AP.

Detection Method

Displays the RF Scan by MU, RF On-Channel Detection or RF Scan
by Detector Radio
method selected from the Rogue AP screen to
detect rogue devices. For information on detection methods, see

“Configuring rogue AP detection”
