This section contains the following subsections to help manage and monitor the APs and wireless clients in the D-Link
Unified Switch network and to protect against rogue devices:
•
•
•
•
AP Authentication Failure Status
•
AP De-Authentication Attack Status
Status entries for the Intrusion Detection pages are collected at a point in time and eventually age out. The age value for
each entry shows how long ago the switch recorded the entry. You can configure the age out time for status entries on the
WLAN > Advanced Configuration > Global
page. You can also manually delete status entries.

TATUS
The radios on each AP can periodically scan the radio frequency to collect information about other APs and wireless clients
that are within range. In normal operating mode the AP always scans on the operational channel for the radio. Two other
scan modes are available for each radio on the APs:
•
Scan Other Channels
: Configures the AP to periodically leave its operational channel and scan other channels within
that frequency.
•
Scan Sentry
: Disables normal operation of the radio and performs a continuous radio scan. In this mode, no beacons
are sent, and no clients are allowed to associate with the AP.
When Scan Other Channels or Scan Sentry modes are enabled, the AP scans all available channels on each radio. When
the scan is complete, the AP sends information it collected during the RF scan to the switch that manages it. For information
about how to configure the scan mode, see
.
The Unified Switch considers an access point to be a rogue if is detected during the RF scan process and is classified as a
threat by one of the threat detection algorithms. To view the threat detection algorithms enabled on the system, go to the
WLAN > Administration > Advanced Configuration > WIDS Security
page.
From the
WLAN > Monitoring > Access Point > AP RF Scan Status
page, you can view information about all APs detected
via RF scan, including those reported as Rogues.
You can sort the APs in the list based any of the column headings. For example, to group all Rogue APs together, click
Status
