Configures a list of known devices to ignore during an RF scan. MSS does 
not generate log messages or traps for the devices in the ignore list.

Syntax —

 set rfdetect ignore mac-addr

„

 — BSSID (MAC address) of the device to ignore.

Defaults — MSS reports all unknown BSSIDs detected during an RF scan.

Access — Enabled.

History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.

Usage — Use this command to identify third-party APs and other devices 
you are already aware of and do not want MSS to report following RF 
scans. 

If you try to initiate countermeasures against a device on the ignore list, 
the ignore list takes precedence and MSS does not issue the 
countermeasures. Countermeasures apply only to rogue devices.

If you add a device that MSS has classified as a rogue to the permitted 
vendor list or permitted SSID list, but not to the ignore list, MSS can still 
classify the device as a rogue. Adding an entry to the permitted vendor 
list or permitted SSID list merely indicates that the device is from an 
allowed manufacturer or is using an allowed SSID. However, to cause 
MSS to stop classifying the device as a rogue, you must add the device’s 
MAC address to the ignore list.

After you add a device that has been classified as a rogue to the ignore 
list, the device remains classified as a rogue for at least 10 minutes. After 
10 minutes, MSS reclassifies the device as an interfering device.
