Hope this helps. The answer is in WDS and WLSE.

• Radio management features on 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g radios—Access points running Cisco

IOS Release 12.2(15)JA can participate in radio management using 802.11a, b, and g radios. Access

points configured for WDS interact with the WDS device on your wireless LAN. The WDS device

forwards radio data to and from the WLSE device or wireless network manager on your network.

Radio management includes these features, which are configured on your WLSE device:

– Rogue access point detection, including the rogue device’s IP and MAC addresses, SSID, and,

if it is connected to a Cisco device, the switch port to which the rogue is connected

– Self-healing wireless LAN; if an access point fails, nearby access points increase their transmit

power to cover the gap in your wireless LAN

– Client tracking to identify the access point to which each client device is associated

• Scanning-only mode—Access points running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)JA can act as scanners to

detect rogue access points and monitor radio traffic on your wireless LAN. Access points configured

as scanners participate in radio management but do not accept client associations.
