To detect a rogue AP:
1.
Go to Monitor > Rogue Devices.
2.
Look under Devices Overview for “# of Rogue Devices”.
3.
If at least once rogue device is detected, click the number for more details.
4.
When the Monitor > Rogue Devices page appears, two tables are listed:
The Currently Active Rogue Devices table
The Known/Recognized Rogue Devices table.
5.
Review the Currently Active Rogue Devices table. The following types of Rogue APs generate an alarm
when the NXA-WAPZD1000 detects them:
AP: An access point unknown to the NXA-WAPZD1000.
AP (SSID-spoof): A rogue AP that uses the same SSID as the NXA-WAPZD1000’s AP, also known
as Evil-twin AP.
AP (MAC-spoof): A rogue AP that has the same BSSID (MAC) of one of the virtual APs managed
by the NXA-WAPZD1000.
Ad-hoc: A wireless adapter in ad-hoc mode.
The Encryption column indicates if a rogue device is encrypted or is open.
6.
If a listed AP is part of another, nearby neighbor network, click Mark as Known. This identifies the AP as
posing no threat, while copying the record to the Known/Recognized Rogue Devices table.
7.
To locate rogue APs that do pose a threat to your internal WLAN, click the MAC Address of a device to
open the Map View (page 27). If your worksite floorplan is imported into the Map View window and your
APs are positioned on the map, rogue APs can be generally identified with relative accuracy.
8.
After opening the Map View, look for the Rogue APs icon (page 28). This provides a clue to their location.
You can now find the rogue APs and disconnect them. Or, if a rogue AP is actually a component in a
neighboring network, you can mark it as “known”.
If your office or worksite is on a single floor in a multistory building, your upper- and
lower-floor neighbors' wireless access points may show up on the Map View, but
seemingly in your site. As the NXA-WAPZD1000 cannot locate them in vertical
space, you may need to do a bit more research to determine where the AP is located
and if it should be marked as “Known.”
