6.2.3 Unapproved APs (AP Reported)
Use the Unapproved APs (AP Reported) tab to review Access Points detected by associated switch
Access Port radios and are restricted from operation within the switch managed network. The criteria for
restriction was defined using the Security > Access Port Intrusion Detection > Configuration screen.
To view Access Port detected unapproved Access Points:
1. Select Security > Access Port Intrusion Detection from the main menu tree.
2. Click on the Unapproved APs (AP Reported) tab.
3. The Unapproved APs (AP Reported) table displays the following information:
BSS MAC Address Displays the MAC Address of each Unapproved AP. These MAC addresses are
Access Points observed on the network, but have yet to be added to the list of
Approved APs, and are therefore interpreted as a threat on the network.
If a MAC Address displays on the list incorrectly, click the Allow button and add
the MAC Address of a newly Allowed AP index.
Reporting Radio Displays the numerical value for the radio used with the detecting AP.
Channel Displays the channel the Unapproved AP is currently transmitting on.
Signal Strength
(dbm)
Displays the Relative Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) for the detected (and
unapproved) AP. AP’s with a strong signal may pose a more significant risk within
the switch managed network.
Last Seen (Seconds) Displays the time (in seconds) the Unapproved AP was last seen on the network
by the detecting AP.
ESSID Displays the ESSID of each Unapproved AP. These ESSIDs are device ESSIDs
observed on the network, but have yet to be added to the list of Approved APs and
are therefore interpreted as a threat. If an ESSID displays on the list incorrectly,
click the Allow button and add the ESSID to a new Allowed AP index.
