Configuring Rogue AP Detection
It is possible that not all of the devices identified by the Mobility 7131 Access Point are operating
legitimately within the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s radio coverage area. A rogue AP is a device
located nearby an authorized Brocade Mobility Mobility 7131 Access Point but recognized as
having properties rendering its operation illegal and threatening to the Mobility 7131 Access Point
and the LAN. Rogue AP detection can be configured independently for both Mobility 7131 Access
Point 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n radios (if using a dual radio sku Mobility 7131 Access Point). A
rogue detection interval is the user-defined interval the Mobility 7131 Access Point waits to search
for rogue APs. Additionally, the access point does not detect rogue APs on illegal channels
(channels not allowed by the regulatory requirements of the country the access point is operating
in).
The rogue detection interval is used in conjunction with Brocade Mobility MUs that identify
themselves as rogue detection capable to the access point. The detection interval defines how
often the access point requests these MUs to scan for a rogue AP. A shorter interval can affect the
performance of the MU, but it will also decrease the time it takes for the access point to scan for a
rogue AP. A longer interval will have less of an impact to the MU’s, but it will increase the amount of
time used to detect rogue APs. Therefore, the interval should be set according to the perceived risk
of rogue devices and the criticality of MU performance.
CAUTION
Using an antenna other than the Dual-Band Antenna (Part No.
ML-2452-APA2-01) could render the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s Rogue AP Detector Mode
feature inoperable. Contact your Brocade Mobility sales associate for specific information.
To configure Rogue AP detection for the Mobility 7131 Access Point:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Rogue AP Detection from the Mobility 7131 Access
Point menu tree.
