6-120 Motorola RF Switch System Reference Guide
When enabling an Enhanced Beacon, the switch allows adopted Access Ports to periodically scan for rogue
APs on different channels without disassociating MUs. The beacons collected in the scan are passed on to
the switch so required information is gathered to locate a particular rogue AP. Refer to
Editing AP Settings
on page 4-97 to enable an AP to forward beacons and association information for AP radios to detect a rouge.
The switch is provided with a set of 802.11a and 802.11bg radio specific channels. The switch radio scans
scan each channel to detect the potential existence or rogues operating on the configured channel. On
completion of a scan, the switch moves the AP back to its original channel.
If, during the scan, an AP is detected on a different channel (due to a leaked signal), this channel is also
added to the channel set. The AP sends this information to the switch, which maintains a table with the
following information:
• MAC address of the detected rogue AP
• AP MAC address
• Signal strength of the detected rogue AP
• Channel on which the AP was detected
• Time when the AP was detected.
This information is used by the Motorola RF Management application (or Motorola RFMS) to locate the rogue
AP. Motorola RFMS uses this information to physically locate the position of rogues and authorized devices
within a site map representative of the physical dimensions of the actual device deployment area.
To configure enhanced beacons:
1. Select Security > Enhanced Probe/Beacon Table from the main menu tree.
2. Select the Beacon Table tab.
3. Select the Enable Enhanced Beacon Table checkbox to allow the AP to receive beacons and
association information.
4. Use Scan Interval value to enter the interval used by the radio between scans. The radio scans each
channel for the defined interval. The default value is 10 seconds.
