Chapter 9 MON Profile

NWA5000 / WAC6500 Series User’s Guide

The following table describes the labels in this screen.  

The following section contains additional technical information about the features described in this 
chapter.

Rogue APs are wireless access points operating in a network’s coverage area that are not under the 
control of the network’s administrators, and can open up holes in a network’s security. Attackers 
can take advantage of a rogue AP’s weaker (or non-existent) security to gain access to the network, 
or set up their own rogue APs in order to capture information from wireless clients. If a scan reveals 
a rogue AP, you can use commercially-available software to physically locate it.
