New Features
Access Point Scanning-Only Mode
This Cisco SWAN feature allows the access point to be set in a scanning-only mode where it scans the
RF environment for other access points and unassociated 802.11 clients. In this mode, the access point
does not transmit beacons, respond to probe requests, or support client device association. This mode
allows the access point to function as an intrusion detection device to detect rogue (unauthorized) access
points and unassociated 802.11 clients. Refer to the WLSE user documentation for instructions on
enabling this feature. Click this link to browse to the WLSE user documentation:
