Managed SSID
from an unknown
AP Enables or disables detecting the unknown AP that
sends the beacon frames including the SSID
managed by the WLAN Controller and marking the
access point as a rogue access point.
The unknown AP can be malicious; however, in a
large network with multiple peer groups, a unknown
AP sending the managed SSID can be legitimate.
Managed SSID
from a fake
managed AP Enables or disables detecting a fake managed
access point that sends the beacon frames
including the SSID managed by the WLAN
Controller.
The fake managed access point is an access point
that sends beacon frames without the specific
value in the vendor field.
AP without an
SSID Enables or disables detecting an access point that
sends beacon frames in which the SSID is hidden.
The SSID field is optional in beacon frames;
however, the field may be intentionally hidden for
malicious purposes.
Fake managed
AP on an invalid
channel Enables or disables detecting a fake managed
access point using an invalid channel. Even if the
source MAC address of the beacon frame is
proper, the access point sending the beacon frame
is marked as a fake access point when using an
invalid channel.
Managed SSID
detected with
incorrect security Enables or disables detecting an access point that
sends beacon frames with the incorrect security
method by RF scan and marking the access point
as a rogue access point.
Invalid SSID
from a managed
AP Enables or disables detecting an access point that
sends beacon frames with an unknown SSID and
marking the access point as rogue.
AP is operating
on an illegal
channel Enables or disables detecting an access point
operating through an illegal channel.
To enable this detection, you must have the
designated access point with the sentry mode.
