Rogue Scan
The Rogue Scan feature provides an additional security level for wireless LAN deployments. Rogue Scan uses the
selected wireless interface(s) for scanning its coverage area for Access Points and clients.
A centralized Network Manager receives MAC address information from the AP on all wireless clients detected by the AP.
The Network Manager then queries all wired switches to find out the inbound switch/port of these wireless clients. If the
switch/port does not have a valid Access Point connected to it as per a pre-configured database, the Network Manager
proceeds to block that switch/port and prevent the Rogue AP from connecting to the wired network.
Figure 4-34 Preventing Rogue AP Attacks
The figure above shows Client 1 connected to a Trusted AP and Client 2 connected to a Rogue AP. The Trusted AP
scans the networks, detects Client 2, and notifies the Network Manager. The Network Manager uses SNMP/CLI to query
the wired switch to find the inbound switch port of Client 2’s packets. The Network Manager verifies that this switch/router
