Rogue AP Tagging and Containment
Rogue AP Tagging and Containment
This built-in detection, tagging, monitoring and containment capability allows system administrators to
take required actions:
•
Receive new rogue notifications, eliminating hallway scans.
•
Monitor unknown rogues until they are eliminated or acknowledged.
•
Determine the closest authorized
and
making directed scans faster and more effective.
•
Contain rogue APs by sending their clients deauthenticate and disassociate messages from one
to four Airespace APs.
•
Tag rogue APs:
-
Acknowledge rogue APs when they are outside of the LAN and do not compromise the
LAN or WLAN security.
-
Accept rogue APs when they do not compromise the LAN or WLAN security.
-
Tag rogue APs as unknown until they are eliminated or acknowledged.
-
Tag rogue APs as contained and continue discouraging rogue AP clients from associat-
ing with the rogue AP, by having between one and four Airespace APs transmit deauth-
enticate and disassociate messages to the rogue AP clients. This function can contain
one or more channels on the same rogue AP.
To facilitate automated rogue detection in a crowded RF space, Airespace APs can be configured to
operate in
, allowing monitoring without creating unnecessary interference.
