Configuring enhanced beacons and probes

The switch can be configured to detect and locate rogue APs and MUs. Refer to

“Editing AP

settings”

on page 168 to enable an AP to forward beacons and association information for AP

radios to detect a rogue. An AP can also be configured to forward MU probe requests to the switch
to help locate a rogue MU.

NOTE

Currently, only an adopted 7131N-FGR in dependent mode supports enhanced beacons and probes
request forward configuration.

Use the Enhanced Beacons/Probe screen to configure enhanced beacons/probes and their output
reports. The Enhanced Probes and Beacons screens displays four tabs supporting the following
configuration activities:

Configuring the beacon table
