Importing a Trusted AP List
You can import a list of known APs from a saved list. The list may be acquired from another AP or created
from a text file. If the MAC address of an AP appears in the Trusted AP List, it is not detected as a rogue.
To import an AP list from a file:
Step 1
Select
Security > Rogue AP Detection>View Rogue AP List...
.
Step 2
In the
Download/Backup Trusted AP List
area, click
Download (PC to AP)
.
Step 3
In the
Source File Name
field, click
Browse
to choose the file to import.
The imported file must be a plain-text file with a .txt or .cfg extension. Entries in the file are MAC addresses in hexadecimal
format with each octet separated by colons, for example, 00:11:22:33:44:55. You must separate entries with a single
space. For the AP to accept the file, it must contain only MAC addresses.
Step 4
In the
File Management Destination
field, choose whether to replace the existing
Trusted AP List
or add the entries
in the imported file to the
Trusted AP List
. The options are:
•
Replace
— Imports the list and replaces the contents of the
Trusted AP List
.
•
Merge
— Imports the list and adds the APs in the imported file to the APs currently shown in the
Trusted AP List
.
Step 5
Click
Apply
.
When the import is complete, the screen refreshes and the MAC addresses of the APs in the imported file appear in the
Trusted AP List
.
