Rogue Access Point
The Expert generates the Rogue Access Point alarm when it detects a
wireless access point on the network whose MAC address is not found in its
list of known access points. You can view the Expert's list of known access
points in the Known Access Points in the Network listbox in the 802.11
Options tab of the Expert Properties dialog box. You access this tab by
selecting Expert Options from the Tools menu and clicking the 802.11
Options tab in the dialog box that appears.
The Rogue Access Point alarm provides you with a convenient means of
detecting access points on the network of which you were previously unaware.
To use this alarm effectively, you must add the MAC addresses of the known
access points on the network to the Expert's list. You can add access points to
the Expert's list in any of the following ways:
 Automatically in the real-time Host Table by selecting entries in the
table, right-clicking, and selecting the Add to Known Mobile Unit List
command.
 Automatically in the postcapture display's Expert tab by clicking the
Wireless Unit List button and using the options in the dialog box that
appears.
 Automatically in the Address Book by clicking Export AP.
 Manually in the Tools > Expert Options > 802.11 Options tab.
