You must enable the AP detection on a radio in order to collect information about other APs within range.
Table 12 describes the information provided on neighboring access points.
Table 12: Rogue AP Detection
Field Description
AP Detection for
Radio
To allow the AP radios to perform neighbor AP detection and collect information about
neighbor APs, click Enabled .
To disable neighbor AP detection on the radios, click Disabled .
If you change the AP detection mode, click Apply to save the new settings.
Detected Rogue AP List
Action Click Grant to move the AP from the Detected Rogue AP List to the Known AP List.
Note: The Detected Rouge AP and Known AP lists provide information. The DWL ‐ x600AP
does not have any control over the APs on the list and cannot apply any security policies
to APs detected through the RF scan.
MAC Shows the MAC address of the neighboring AP.
Radio The Radio field indicates which radio detected the neighboring AP:
• wlan0 (Radio One)
• wlan1 (Radio Two)
Beacon Int. Shows the Beacon interval being used by this AP.
Beacon frames are transmitted by an AP at regular intervals to announce the existence of
the wireless network. The default behavior is to send a beacon frame once every 100
milliseconds (or 10 per second).
The Beacon Interval is set on the Radio page.(See “Modifying Radio Settings” on page 58 .)
Type Indicates the type of device:
• AP indicates the neighboring device is an AP that supports the IEEE 802.11 Wireless
Networking Framework in Infrastructure Mode .
• Ad hoc indicates a neighboring station running in Ad hoc Mode . Stations set to ad hoc
mode communicate with each other directly, without the use of a traditional AP. Ad ‐
hoc mode is an IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking Framework also referred to as peer ‐
to ‐ peer mode or an Independent Basic Service Set ( IBSS ).
SSID The Service Set Identifier ( SSID ) for the AP.
The SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that uniquely identifies a wireless
local area network. It is also referred to as the Network Name .
The SSID is set on the VAP page. (See “Configuring Load Balancing” on page 88 .)
Privacy Indicates whether there is any security on the neighboring device.
• Off indicates that the Security mode on the neighboring device is set to None (no
security).
• On indicates that the neighboring device has some security in place.
Security is configured on the AP from the VAP page.
WPA Indicates whether WPA security is on or off for this AP.
