6.2.3 Unapproved APs (Reported by APs)
Use the Unapproved APs (Reported by APs) 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 (Reported by APs) tab.
3. The Unapproved APs (Reported by APs) 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 to a new Allowed AP index.
Reporting AP 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
(in 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.
