The ZyXEL Device can detect the MAC addresses of APs automatically.
However, it is more secure to obtain the correct MAC addresses from another
source and add them to the friendly AP list manually. For example, an
attacker’s AP mimicking the correct SSID could be placed on the friendly AP
list by accident, if selected from the list of auto-detected APs. In this example
you have spoken to the coffee shop’s owner, who has told you the correct
MAC address of his AP.
In this example, you will do the following things.
1 Set up and save a friendly AP list.
2 Activate periodic Rogue AP Detection.
3 Set up e-mail alerts.
4 Configure your other access points.
5 Test the setup.
5.3.1 Set Up and Save a Friendly AP list

network’s coverage area.
1 On a computer connected to the wired network (F in the previous figure), open your
Internet browser and enter the URL of access point A (192.168.1.1). Login to the Web
configurator and click ROGUE AP > Friendly AP. The following screen displays.
