■ Status Description. A text description of the radio status; active or

Neighbor AP Detection
The access point can be configured to scan all 2.4 GHz radio channels and find
other access points within its neighborhood. A database of detected access
points and their radio settings is maintained where any unauthorized access
points can be identified.
Neighbor access points may not be authorized to participate in the wireless
network, or may not have the correct security configuration. These access
points can potentially allow unauthorized users access to the network. Alter-
natively, client stations may mistakenly associate to an unauthorized access
point and be prevented from accessing network resouces. Unauthorized
access points may also cause radio interference and degrade the wireless LAN
performance.
After each scan, Syslog and optionally SNMP trap messages can be sent for
each scan. An optional SNMP trap can also be sent for Ad-Hoc network
detection. (See “Enabling System Logging” on page 5-40 and “Configuring
SNMP” on page 5-19.)
