Optimized Monitor Mode (LOMM), which optimizes the monitoring and location
calculation of RFID tags. For more information on this mode, refer to Cisco Unified

Rogue detector modeLAPs that operate in Rogue Detector mode monitor the rogue
APs. They do not transmit or contain rogue APs. The idea is that the rogue detector
should be able to see all the VLANs in the network since rogue APs can be connected
to any of the VLANs in the network (thus we connect it to a trunk port). The switch
sends all the rogue AP/Client MAC address lists to the Rogue Detector (RD). The RD
then forwards those up to the WLC in order to compare with the MACs of clients that
the WLC APs have heard over the air. If MACs match, then the WLC knows the
rogue AP to which those clients are connected is on the wired network.

Sniffer modeAn LWAPP that operates in Sniffer mode functions as a sniffer and
captures and forwards all the packets on a particular channel to a remote machine that
runs Airopeek. These packets contain information on timestamp, signal strength,
packet size and so on. The Sniffer feature can be enabled only if you run Airopeek,
which is a third−party network analyzer software that supports decoding of data
packets.

Q. How do I change the mode on a Lightweight Access Point?
A. In order to change the mode of a Lightweight Access Point, complete these steps.
From the WLC GUI, choose Wireless > Access Points > All APs, and select the AP
for which the mode needs to be changed from the list of registered APs.
