When the Cisco 1000 Series IEEE 802.11a/b/g Lightweight Access Points are powered up and associ-
ated with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers
, the Cisco Wireless Control System built into the Operating
System immediately starts listening for Rogue Access Points. When the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller
detects a Rogue AP, it immediately notifies Cisco WCS, which creates a rogue AP alarm.
When Cisco WCS receives a rogue AP message from a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, Cisco WCS
generates an alarm, with an indicator visible in the lower left corner of all Cisco WCS User Interface
pages. Notice that the following example shows 72 Cisco WCS Rogue AP alarms.
To see more detail on the Rogue APs, click the Rogues indicator to display the Rogue AP
Alarms page.
