Scheduling an HTTP scan to run daily on your network can help you to discover rogues. Some consumer APs, like most D-
Link, Linksys, and NetGear models, do not support SNMP and are found only on the wired side with an HTTP scan. These
devices are discovered only if they have a valid IP address. Proper credentials are not required to discover these APs.
Wireless scans and the AMC discover these rogues without any special changes.
