Configuring rogue AP detection
6
3. Use the Allowed AP List field to restrict Brocade AP’s from Rogue AP detection and create a list
of device MAC addresses and ESSID’s approved for interoperability with the Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR Access Point.
4. Click Apply to save any changes to the Rogue AP Detection screen. Navigating away from the
screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost.
5. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings displayed on the Rogue AP Detection screen to the last saved configuration.
6. Click Logout to securely exit the Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout
before the applet is closed.
RF Scan by Detector
Radio If the access point is a dual-radio model, select the RF Scan by
Detector Radio checkbox to enable the selected 11a or 11b/g
radio to scan for rogue APs. For example, if 11b/g is selected, the
existing 11a radio would act as the “detector radio,” scanning on
all 11b/g channels while the existing 11b/g radio continues to
service MUs. The assumption is, when planning to do an all
channel scan on one band, the MUs would also be on that band.
The radio on the other band is used as the “detector radio.”
RF A/BG Scan Select this checkbox to scan for rouges over all channels on both
of the access point’s 11a and 11bg radio bands. The switching of
radio bands is based on a timer with no user intervention required.
This option provides a good opportunity to detect rogues, as
rogues often roam from one association to a stronger one
regardless of the current operating channel.
Authorize Any AP
Having Brocade
Defined MAC Address Select this checkbox to enable all access points with a Brocade
MAC address to interoperate with the Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR Access Point conducting a scan for rogue devices.
Add Click Add to display a single set of editable MAC address and ESS
address values.
Del (Delete) Click the Delete button to remove the highlighted line from the
Rule Management field. The MAC and ESS address information
previously defined is no longer applicable unless the previous
configuration is restored.
Delete All Click the Delete All button to remove all entries from the Rule
Management field. All MAC and ESS address information
previously defined is no longer applicable unless the previous
configuration is restored.
Any MAC Select the Any MAC checkbox to prevent a device’s MAC address
(whether it is a known device MAC address or not) from being
considered a rogue device.
MAC Address Click Add, and enter the device MAC address to be excluded from
classification as a rogue device.
Any ESSID Select the Any ESSid checkbox to prevent a device’s ESSID
(whether it is a known device ESSID or not) from being considered
a rogue device
ESSID Click Add, and enter the name of a device ESSID to be excluded
from classification as a rogue device. Do not use < > | " & \ ?
as characters for the ESSID name.
