4.5 Rogue AP Detection

Click the entry on the left hand navigation panel for

Wireless Access Point – Rouge AP

Detection. This directs you to the Wireless

Access Point – Rouge AP Detection page.

This function allows the network administrator

to detect in band rogue AP. Enable

rogue AP detection and enter the MAC Address of

each AP in the network that you want the AP being

configured to accept as trusted AP (You may add up

to 20 APs). Enter an email address for notification of

any rogue or non- trusted APs when WH-5000A

find it. You can

also select the following filter options.

`

SSID Filter: Check the SSID option to only

send rogue APs that match the AP's SSID or wireless bridge's SSID.

`

Channel Filter: Check the channel filter option to only send rogue APs that match the AP's channel or

the wireless bridge's channel.

`

If both options are checked, only APs that match both the SSID and channel are sent.

The Adjacent AP lists under Monitoring/Reports on the navigation menu, will detail any APs’ information.




4.6 Wireless Access Point – Advanced

Click the entry on the left hand navigation panel for Wireless Access Point – Advanced. This directs you to

the Wireless Access Point – Advanced page. The Advanced page allows you to enable or

disable load balancing and Layer 2 Isolation.

4.6.1 Load Balancing

Load balancing is enabled by default to distribute

traffic efficiently among network servers so that no

individual server is overburdened. For example, if

two APs with similar settings are in a conference

room, depending on the location of the

APs, all wireless clients could potentially

associate with the same AP, leaving the

other AP unused. Load balancing attempts

to evenly distribute the wireless clients on

both APs.
