6.2 Access Point Detection
Use the Access Point Detection menu options to view and configure the detection of other Access Points.
The Access Point Detection screen consists of the following tabs:
• Enabling and Configuring AP Detection
• Authorized / Ignored APs
• Unauthorized APs (AP Reported)
• Unauthorized APs (MU Reported)
• AP Containment
6.2.1 Enabling and Configuring AP Detection
Use the Configuration screen to allow the switch to detect potentially hostile Access Points, set the number
of detected APs allowed and define the timeout and threshold values used for detection. The switch can
enable both Access Ports and MUs to scan and detect Access Points within the switch managed network.
Continually re-validating the credentials of associated devices reduces the possibility of an Access Point
hacking into the switch managed network.
To configure AP Detection:
1. Select Security > Access Point Detection from the main menu.
2. Select the Configuration tab.
