Rogue Device Classification
Only complete this section if you have completed WMS Offload procedure above. After offloading WMS, AMP
maintains the primary ARM, WIPS, and WIDS state classification for all devices discovered over-the-air.
To check and reclassify rogue devices, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Rogue > Detail page for the rogue device, as shown in Figure 20.
Figure 20 Rogue Detail Page Illustration
2. Select the proper classification from the RAPIDS Classification Override drop-down menu.
Controller classification can also be updated from RAPIDS > List via the Modify Devices link.
All rogue devices will be set to a default controller classification of unclassified when WMS is first offloaded
except for devices classified as valid. Rogue devices classified in AOS as valid will also be classified within AMP as
valid for their controller classification as well. As APs report subsequent classification information about rogues,
this classification will be reflected within AMP UI and propagated to controllers that AMP manages. The device
classification reflected in the Controller's UI and in the AMP UI will probably not match, because the Controller/
APs do not reclassify rogue devices frequently.

CAUTION: Changing the controller's classification within the AMP UI will push a reclassification message to all controllers
managed by the AMP server that are in Groups with Offloading the WMS database set to Yes. To reset the controller
classification of a rogue device on AMP, change the controller classification on the AMP UI to unclassified.
