3. Use the Allowed AP List field to restrict Brocade Mobility AP’s from Rogue AP detection and

create a list of device MAC addresses and ESSID’s approved for interoperability with the

Mobility 7131 Access Point.

4. Click Apply to save any changes to the Rogue AP Detection screen. Navigating away from the

screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost.

5. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the

settings displayed on the Rogue AP Detection screen to the last saved configuration.

6. Click Logout to securely exit the Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout

before the applet is closed.

Moving Rogue APs to the Allowed AP List

The Active APs screen enables the user to view the list of detected rogue APs and, if necessary,

select and move an AP into a list of allowed devices. This is helpful when the settings defined within

the Rogue AP Detection screen inadvertently detect and define a device as a rogue AP.

RF On-Channel

Detection

Select the RF On-Channel Detection checkbox to enable the access point to detect

rogue APs on its current (legal) channel setting.

RF Scan by Detector

Radio

If the access point is a dual-radio model, select the

RF Scan by Detector Radio

checkbox to enable the selected 11a or 11b/g radio to scan for rogue APs. For example, if

11b/g is selected, the existing 11a radio would act as the “detector radio,” scanning on all

11b/g channels while the existing 11b/g radio continues to service MUs. The assumption

is, when planning to do an all channel scan on one band, the MUs would also be on that

band. The radio on the other band is used as the “detector radio.”

RF A/BG Scan Select this checkbox to scan for rouges over all channels on both of the access point’s 11a

and 11/jointfilesconvert/389239/bg radio bands. The switching of radio bands is based on a timer with no user

intervention required. This option provides a good opportunity to detect rogues, as rogues

often roam from one association to a stronger one regardless of the current operating

channel.

Authorize Any AP

Having Brocade

Defined MAC Address

Select this checkbox to enable all access points with a Brocade Mobility MAC address to

interoperate with the Mobility 7131 Access Point conducting a scan for rogue devices.

Add Click

Add to display a single set of editable MAC address and ESS address values.

Delete button to remove the highlighted line from the Rule Management field.

The MAC and ESS address information previously defined is no longer applicable unless

the previous configuration is restored.

Delete All Click the

Delete All button to remove all entries from the Rule Management field. All MAC

and ESS address information previously defined is no longer applicable unless the

previous configuration is restored.

Any MAC Select the

Any MAC checkbox to prevent a device’s MAC address (whether it is a known

device MAC address or not) from being considered a rogue device.

MAC Address Click

Add, and enter the device MAC address to be excluded from classification as a rogue

device.

Any ESSID Select the

Any ESSid checkbox to prevent a device’s ESSID (whether it is a known device

ESSID or not) from being considered a rogue device

ESSID Click

Add, and enter the name of a device ESSID to be excluded from classification as a

rogue device. Do not use < > | " & \ ?

as characters for the ESSID name.
