AP blacklist: Only rogue APs can be added to the blacklist. If a rogue AP is added to the blacklist, it cannot
change its role to act as a client and access to the Stellar AP wireless network, illustrated in Figure 4-31.
Suppress: Enable/disable the function of rogue AP suppress. If enabled, the detecting Stellar AP will send
DEAUTH frames to clients that have associated to the rogue AP, keeping the clients away from the unsafe
wireless network. By default, the detecting Stellar AP does not send DEAUTH frames, see in Figure 4-28.
Dynamic blacklist: If enabled, all the ad-hoc devices found will be added to the AP blacklist automatically,
which prevents the ad-hoc device from changing its role to act as a client and access to Stellar AP wireless
network. By default, the ad-hoc device is not added to the blacklist automatically.
