Configuring Dynamic RRM
Using the CLI to Enable Rogue Access Point Detection
Follow these steps to enable rogue access point detection using the CLI.
Step 1
Make sure that each controller in the RF group has been configured with the same RF group name.
Note
The name is used to verify the authentication IE in all beacon frames. If the controllers have
different names, false alarms will occur.
Step 2
Enter
config ap mode local
Cisco_AP
or
config ap mode monitor
Cisco_AP
to configure this particular
access point for local (normal) mode or monitor (listen-only) mode.
Step 3
Repeat
Step 2
for every access point connected to the controller.
Step 4
Enter
config wps ap-authentication
to enable rogue access point detection.
Step 5
Enter
config wps ap-authentication
threshold
to specify when a rogue access point alarm is generated.
An alarm occurs when the threshold value (which specifies the number of access point frames with an
invalid authentication IE) is met or exceeded within the detection period.
Note
The valid threshold range is from1 to 255, and the default threshold value is 1. To avoid false
alarms, you may want to set the threshold to a higher value.
Step 6
Repeat
Step 4
and
Step 5
on every controller in the RF group.
Note
If rogue access point detection is not enabled on every controller in the RF group, the access
points on the controllers with this feature disabled are reported as rogues.
Configuring Dynamic RRM
The controller is preconfigured with factory default RRM settings designed to optimize radio
performance. However, you can modify the controller’s dynamic RRM configuration parameters at any
time through either the GUI or the CLI.
Note
You can configure these parameters on an individual controller that is not part of an RF group or on RF
group members.
Note
The RRM parameters should be set to the same values on every controller in an RF group. The RF group
leader can change at any time. If the RRM parameters are not identical for all RF group members,
varying results can occur when the group leader changes.
