Match Type Describes how the AP was classified as a rogue.
 Eth-Wired-MAC: An Dell AP or AM detected that a single MAC address was in both the
Ethernet Wired-Mac table and a non-valid AP wired-Mac table.
 AP-Wired-MAC: An interfering AP is marked as rogue when the Dell AP finds a MAC
address in one of its valid AP wired-mac table and in an interfering AP wired-mac table.
You can enable or disable the AP-Wired-MAC matching method using the CLI command
ids unauthorized-device-profile overlay-classification.
 Config-Wired-MAC: This type of classification occurs when an Dell AP or AM detects a
match between a wired MAC table and a pre-defined MAC address that has manually
defined via the command
ids unauthorized-device-profile valid-wired-mac.
 External-Wired-MAC: This type of classification occurs when an Dell AP or AM detects a
match between a wired MAC table entry and a pre-defined MAC address manually defined
in the
rap-wml table.
 Base-BSSID-Override: If an Dell AP is detected as rogue, then all virtual APs on the
particular rogue are marked as rogue using Base-BSSID-Override match type.
 Manual: An AP is manually defined as a rogue by via the command wms ap <bssid>
mode rogue.
 EMS: An AP is manually defined as a rogue by via the Element Management System
Match MAC MAC address of a wired device that helped identify the AP as a rogue. If the AP has not been
identified as a rogue, this column will display the MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00.
Match IP IP address of a wired device that helped identify the AP as a rogue.
Match AM Dell Air Monitor that reporting seeing the rogue AP.
Match Method This variable indicates the type of match.
Suspect Match Types Describes how an AP was classified as a suspected rogue AP.
Helper Ap BSSID BSSID of the AP or AM that helped classify a rogue AP.
AP name Names of APs that are able to see the specified MAC address.
Match Time Time the AP was identified as a rogue AP.
Confidence Level Shows the level of confidence that the AP was classified correctly for each match type.The
suspected-rogue classification mechanism are:
 Each mechanism that causes a suspected-rogue classification is assigned a confidence
level increment of 20%.
 AP classification rules have a configured confidence level.
 When a mechanism matches a previously unmatched mechanism, the confidence level
increment associated with that mechanism is added to the current confidence level (the
confident level starts at zero).
 The confidence level is capped at 100%.
If your controller reboots, your suspected-rogue APs are not checked against any new rules
that were configured after the reboot. Without this restriction, all the mechanisms that
classified your APs as suspected-rogue may trigger again causing the confidence level to
surpass their cap of 100%. You can explicitly mark an AP as “interfering” to trigger all new rules
to match against it.
