Moving rogue APs to the allowed AP list
The Active APs screen enables the user to view the list of detected rogue APs and, if necessary,
select and move an AP into a list of allowed devices. This is helpful when the settings defined within
the Rogue AP Detection screen inadvertently detect and define a device as a rogue AP.
To move detected rogue APs into a list of allowed APs:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Rogue AP Detection -> Active APs from the Mobility
5181 Access Point menu tree.
The Active APs screen displays with detected rogue devices displayed within the Rogue APs
table.
2. Enter a value (in minutes) in the Allowed APs Age Out Time field to indicate the number of
elapsed minutes before an AP will be removed from the approved list and reevaluated. A zero
(0) for this value (default value) indicates an AP can remain on the approved AP list
permanently.
3. Enter a value (in minutes) in the Rogue APs Age Out Time field to indicate the number of
elapsed minutes before an AP will be removed from the rogue AP list and reevaluated. A zero
