ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC9500
The basic Rogue AP screen displays:
The wireless controller can support a total of up to 512 access points from the known and
unknown lists combined.
2. Next to Rogue AP Detection, select the enable radio button.
3. Next to Alert Severity, select the severity of the alarm when a rogue access point is
detected:
• Major.
A major alarm is triggered.
• Minor. A minor alarm is triggered.
4. Click Apply.
Because the neighboring and rogue access points are detected during of
f-channel scans,
it typically takes about 30 minutes after the rogue
AP detection is enabled for the
neighbor and rogue access points to be detected on one channel.
Once the neighbor and rogue access points are detected, the wireless controller
populates the known list (that is, the database with known access points) and unknown
list (that is, the database with unknown access points).
Classify Rogue Access Points
The advanced Rogue AP screen allows you to identify what could be an access point from a
neighboring business that is known. As you identify them, mark them as known or unknown
so that the wireless controller does not keep finding them and flagging them. This can help
you to identify your own equipment that should be managed and the rogue access points that
should be detected. A rogue access point has both a wireless and a LAN connection. A
neighbor is an access point with only a wireless connection, not a LAN connection.
 To view and classify rogue access points:
1. Select Configuration > Security > Advanced > Rogue AP.
