Rogue Access Point Detected

paucan — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 06:24:21 GMT

I am receiving "Rogue Access Point Detected" on some of my Cisco 1242 Autonomous AP's. Is there anything I can do to understand if this is a real threat? How can I make any use of these alerts?

Any access point that is not part of your WLC mobility group will show up as rogues. How you can make use of these reports is within WCS / NCS or the controller you can label the rogues as friendly's if you know about them. Lessens the alerts. You can also run a AP in rogue detector mode whereby allowing the system to determine if the rogue is on your wired.

Thank You for the response. This is what I thought. So I should disable these alerts until I implement the controller or WCS/NCS.

the event is being sent to our Spectrum CA monitoring tool via SNMP which is alraming me to it.

I dont now what that tool is. But it looks like it found a device that it sees as an AP that isnt known in its database.
