10.3 Configuring Rogue AP Detection
You can configure the ZyXEL Device to detect rogue IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz) and IEEE
802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) APs.
If you have more than one AP in your wireless network, you must also configure the list of
“friendly” APs. Friendly APs are the other wireless access points in your network, as well as
any others that you know are not a threat (those from neighboring networks, for example). It is
recommended that you export (save) your list of friendly APs often, especially if you have a
network with a large number of access points.
You can choose to scan for rogue APs manually, or to have the ZyXEL Device scan
automatically at pre-defined intervals.
You can also set the ZyXEL Device to email you immediately when a rogue AP is detected
(see
Chapter 13 on page 151 for information on how to set up email logs).
