About Airespace AP Monitor ModeMonitor Mode
The Airespace APs, Airespace Wireless Switches, and Airespace WLAN Appliances are capable of
performing rogue detection and containment while providing regular service. However, if the adminis-
trator would prefer to dedicate specific Airespace APs to rogue detection and containment, or if a
network that provides IDS only functions is desired, the Monitor mode should be enabled.
The Monitor function is set for all 802.11 radios on a per-Access Point basis in the Airespace APs >
