6.2.2 Authorized / Ignored APs
Those Access Points detected and approved for operation within the switch managed network can be separately displayed
to assess the reporting (detecting) AP, the channel of operation, the last time the AP was observed on the network and the
ESSID. Use this information to assess if an approved Access Point was incorrectly defined as approved and requires
categorization as an unapproved and disallowed AP.
To review the attributes of allowed APs:
1. Select Security > Access Point Detection from the main menu.
2. Select the Authorized APs tab.
3. The Approved APs table displays the following information:
4. The Number of Approved APs is simply the sum of all of approved Access Point MAC Addresses detected.
