Rogue Devices
As contrasted with “neighboring” access points (APs) that are parts of a neighboring WLAN, “rogue”
(unauthorized) APs pose problems for a wireless network. Usually, a rogue AP appears in the following way:
an employee obtains another manufacturer's AP and connects it to the LAN, to gain wireless access to other
LAN resources. This would potentially allow even more unauthorized users to access your corporate LAN
posing a security risk. Rogue APs also interfere with nearby authorized APs, thus degrading overall wireless
network coverage.
Your NXA-WAPZD1000 rogue detection options include identifying the presence of a rogue AP, and locating
it on your worksite floorplan prior to its removal. You can also mark rogue APs as “Known” if they are located
in a neighboring network — outside your worksite — and pose no threat.
