This chapter discusses how to manage rogue devices that try to use your 
wireless network. Information includes an overview of detection features, 
enabling countermeasures, using the Rogue Detection tab, displaying a 
rogue’s geographical location, ignoring friendly third-party devices, and 
converting a rogue into a third party AP.

MAP radios automatically scan the RF spectrum for other devices 
transmitting in the same spectrum. The RF scans discover third-party 
transmitters in addition to other 3Com radios. MSS considers the 
third-party transmitters to be devices of interest, which are potential 
rogues.

You can display information about the devices of interest. To identify 
friendly devices, such as non-3Com access points in your network or 
neighbor’s network, you can add them to the known devices list. You also 
can enable countermeasures to prevent clients from using the devices 
that truly are rogues. 

With 3WXM, you also can display the physical location of a rogue device.
