CHAPTER 9
Rogue AP
This chapter shows you how to set up Rogue Access Point (AP) detection and containment.
9.1 Rogue AP Detection Overview
Rogue APs are wireless access points operating in a network’s coverage area that are not under the
control of the network’s administrators, and can potentially open holes in the network security.
Attackers can take advantage of a rogue AP’s weaker (or non-existent) security to gain illicit access
to the network, or set up their own rogue APs in order to capture information from wireless clients.
Conversely, a friendly AP is one that the ZyWALL / USG network administrator regards as non-
threatening. This does not necessarily mean the friendly AP must belong to the network managed
by the ZyWALL / USG; rather, it is any unmanaged AP within range of the ZyWALL / USG’s own
wireless network that is allowed to operate without being contained. This can include APs from
neighboring companies, for example, or even APs maintained by your company’s employees that
operate outside of the established network.

The following table identifies the values required for many of these commands. Other input values
