Re: WLSE Switchport Tracking

Hy,

we just started using the rouge ap detection and have a question regarding the switchport tracking feature. The AP's do see the rouge APs and also the clients connected to it (frame report). The problem is that mostly the aps have a bridge configuration so we will never see those mac's on our switches. Also the +1 -1 searching the WLSE does when detecting the rouge mac does not help because the fast ethernet of the devices is mostly always in a different range.

Am i missing something or is this how it works ?

all the very best

How about enabling CDP? I think CDP should track the mac addresses of the devices coonected to it. IF this is not what you were looking for, can you send me a screenshot of the mac address and the details of the switchport tracking output? I think you should be able to see those APs acting as bridge too.

CDP is enabled. Appended you find a extract out of the tracing process

Checking the CDP neighbors of xxx.xx.xx.xxx...

Tracing the MAC Address on /xxx.xx.x.xx

SNMP Connectivity to xxx.xx.x.xx OK

Checking for MAC Address: 00-1a-a2-db-f6-f0 ...
