MAP radios automatically scan the RF spectrum for other devices
transmitting in the same spectrum. The RF scans discover other radios,
some of which may not be in the network plan. MSS considers the
non-planned radios to be potential rogues, and places them on a rogue
list.

A rogue access point is an access point that is not authorized to operate
in your network. Rogue access points and their clients undermine the
security of an enterprise network by potentially allowing unchallenged
access to the network by any wireless user or client in the physical vicinity.
Rogue access points and users can also interfere with the operation of
your enterprise network. You can configure 3WXM to automatically use
countermeasures against rogue APs to disable them.

Not all access points placed on the rogue list are “hostile” rogues. You
may want to move some of the access points from the rogue list to a
known devices list or a third-party AP list. For more information about
this topic as well as more detailed information about combatting rogues,
see the chapter “Detecting and Combatting Rogue Devices” in the
Wireless LAN Switch Manager Reference Manual.
