Rogues Dashboard report helps identify and track wireless devices unknown to the network. This dashboard helps you to report on and reduce risk of unsecured wireless networks, MAC spoofing of wireless clients, and wireless Man-in-the-Middle attacks facilitated by rogue access points.

You can sort displayed devices by any column (SSID, MAC address, time noticed, and so on), search for a specific device, exclude known devices, and track any known devices in RF signal range to your wireless network.

Understand column data

The default view of each report contains a grid with the following columns:

  • SSID. SSID broadcast by the access point (AP). If the AP has been configured not to broadcast an SSID, the SSID box is blank.
  • MAC Address. MAC address specific to the rogue detected by the network.
  • Duration. Amount of time the SSID/MAC Address combination has been seen on the specific access point since the listed poll time.
  • First Seen. Date and time the rogue was first seen during the defined date/time interval.
  • Last Seen. Date and time the rogue was last seen during the defined date/time interval.
  • Percent Seen. Percent of time the rogue was connected in relation to the defined date/time interval.
Note: If Current is selected as the reporting interval, the Rogues page only displays the SSID and MAC Address of rogues currently visible.

The devices displayed on the Rogues Dashboard page are grouped by the access points on which they are/were connected. An SSID/MAC Address combination may appear under more than one access point indicating it is a roaming device hopping from one access point to another. Clicking the icon to the left of any access point displayed launches a dialog containing detailed AP information. Specific dialog content is identical to detailed device information displayed when you click on an access point icon on the My Network Map.
