Rogue AP Detection
15.1 Overview
This chapter discusses rogue wireless access points and how to configure the
NWA’s rogue AP detection feature.
Rogue APs are wireless access points operating in a network’s coverage area that
are not under the control of the network’s administrators, and can open up holes
in a network’s security. Attackers can take advantage of a rogue AP’s weaker (or
non-existent) security to gain access to the network, or set up their own rogue
APs in order to capture information from wireless clients. If a scan reveals a rogue
AP, you can use commercially-available software to physically locate it.
Note that it is not necessary for a network to have a legitimate wireless LAN
component for rogue APs to open the network to an attacker. In this case, any AP
detected can be classified as rogue.
