For each detecting device, the following information is shown:
From this report an EPICenter administrator (a user with an Administrator Role) can add this AP to the
list of Safe APs.
●
To add the device to the Safe APs list, click the Add to Safe List button.
If the rogue AP has been identified by the EPICenter MAC address poller as being connected to a
unique device and port, you can also disable that port.
●
To disable the port on which the rogue AP is connected, click the Disable Port button.
The Disable Port button will not be available if no possible connecting device has been detected, or if
more than one possible connecting device has been detected.
Rogue AP Alarms
This report shows the alarms generated when an Extreme Altitude AP detects a rogue AP. From this
report you can also access the Automatic Rogue AP Detection Status page, where you can enable or
disable rogue AP detection, and change the detection interval.
EPICenter periodically checks the database to determine if any rogue AP detection events (traps) have
occurred. If it finds that an AP has been detected, it generates a rogue AP alarm. It generates an alarm
for each rogue AP detected, and will continue to generate alarms until either the Administrator adds
the AP to the Safe AP MAC List, or until the AP is removed.
An Extreme Networks switch generates a trap for a rogue AP in the following situations:
●
When a previously unknown AP is detected
●
When a previously detected rogue AP changes state
●
When a previously detected rogue AP is no longer detected (disappears).
Figure 220 shows an example of this report.
