Spoofing Wireless Client Report
When the network detects two or more client stations with the same MAC address that are all in the
data forwarding state on different wireless interfaces, the client might be using another client’s MAC
address in an unauthorized way; such a client is known as a
spoofing wireless client. The Spoofing
Wireless Client Report displays information on these clients.
However, a client can also appear on two or more wireless interfaces at the same time because it is
roaming and thus changing from one interface to another. To exclude these cases from the report, you
can specify a wireless client time-out length (minimum connection time) to correspond to the client age-
out setting on the switch.
To view a summary of clients in the data forwarding state on more than one wireless interface, click the
Wireless Reports link in the left-hand panel, and then click the Spoofing Clients link. Figure 225 shows
MAC addresses of wireless clients in the data forwarding state that are appearing on more than one
interface for at least 10 seconds.

The software does not save the location that was recorded for the reporting period, but
records the current location. (These locations rarely differ.)
