AP Detection
Figure 13-36.Viewing the Unapproved APs List
Note You can also view this list by selecting Device Information > Access Point
Detection and clicking the Unapproved APs tab. However, you can only view
information about APs on the other screen; you cannot allow the APs as
described below.
As shown in Figure 13-36, the list includes the following information for
each AP:
■ BSS MAC Address—This address is the AP’s BSSID. RPs report each BSSID
that is a source of a beacon as a detected AP. Because an AP might send
beacons using several different BSSIDs, RPs might report the same phys-
ical AP several times.
■ Reporting Radio—This is the index for the adopted radio that detected this
AP. This information can help you pinpoint a rogue AP’s location.
■ Channel—This is the channel on which the detected AP operates.
■ Signal Strength (In dBm)—This field lists the detected AP’s signal strength,
expressed in dBm. This information can help you determine how close
the AP is to the reporting radio.
