NOTE
You can use the Networks page to configure security on the AP.
• WPA —Whether WPA security is on or off for the rogue AP.
• Band —The IEEE 802.11 mode being used on the rogue AP. (For example,
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g.)
The number shown indicates the mode:
- 2.4 indicates IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n mode (or a combination
of the modes).
- 5 indicates IEEE 802.11a, 802.11n, or 802.11ac mode (or a combination
of the modes).
• Channel —The channel on which the rogue AP is currently broadcasting.
The channel defines the portion of the radio spectrum that the radio uses
for transmitting and receiving.
NOTE
You can use the Radio page to set the channel.
NOTE
When AP is operating in DFS channel, scanning is prohibited. Hence No
Rogue APs will be detected.
• Rate —The rate in megabits per second at which the rogue AP is currently
transmitting.
The current rate is always one of the rates shown in Supported Rates.
The reported rate is the speed of the last packet transmitted from the AP to
the client. This value can vary within the advertised rate set based on the
signal quality between the AP and client and the rate at which broadcast or
multicast frames are sent. When the AP sends a broadcast frame to a STA
using the default rates, then the field will report 1 Mbps for 2.4Ghz radios
and 6 Mbps for 5Ghz radios. Clients that are idle are most likely to report the
low default rates.
• Signal —The strength of the radio signal emitting from the rogue AP. If you
hover the mouse pointer over the bars, a number representing the strength
in decibels (dB) appears.
• Beacons —The total number of beacons received from the rogue AP since it
was first discovered.
• Last Beacon —The date and time of the last beacon received from the
rogue AP.
