4. Refer to the Rogue Detector Detail field for the following information:

BSSID/MAC

Displays the MAC address of the rogue AP. This information could be useful if the MAC
address is determined to be a Brocade Mobility MAC address and the device is interpreted
as non-hostile and the device should be defined as an allowed AP.

ESSID

Displays the ESSID of the rogue AP. This information could be useful if the ESSID is
determined to be non-hostile and the device should be defined as an allowed AP.

RSSI

Shows the Relative Signal Strength (RSSI) of the rogue AP. Use this information to assess
how close the rogue AP is. The higher the RSSI, the closer the rogue AP. If multiple access
point’s have detected the same rogue AP, RSSI can be useful in triangulating the location of
the rogue AP.
