Rogue Access Point Detection
When LWAPs are powered up and associated with controllers, Cisco WCS immediately starts listening for rogue access points. If a WLC detects a rogue access point, it notifies the WCS, which in turn creates a rogue alarm that appears in the lower-left corner of the GUI. Clicking the alarm takes you to the Rogue AP Alarms page. To browse to the Rouge AP information page, click Monitor, then Alarms, and then Rogue AP Alarms.
The Rogue AP Alarms page lists the following information:
-
Severity
-
Rogue MAC address
-
Vendor
-
Radio type
-
Strongest AP RSSI
-
Date and time
-
Channel number
-
SSID
To see the rogue AP calculated location on a map, choose Map from the Rogue AP MAC Address page, or from the menu bar choose Monitor, then Maps, followed by Building Name, and then Floor Name. A small skull and crossbones indicator will appear at the calculated location.
