Sniffer® Portable Professional User's Guide - NetScout

Setting Options in the Sniffer Window
Configuring Rogue Identification for Wireless Networks
When the Lookup options here are
enabled, Sniffer Portable
Professional flags wireless entities
not found in the corresponding lists
as rogues in both Expert and Host
Table displays.
Use the Tools > Wireless > Rogue options (Figure 4-5) to enable and
configure Sniffer Portable Professional’s identification of rogue entities
on the wireless network.
Figure 4-5. Tools > Wireless > Rogue Dialog Box
If the Enable Rogue AP Lookup option (beneath the Known
Access Points in the Network table) is enabled, Sniffer Portable
Professional compares the MAC address (not the IP address) of
each detected access point to those in the Known Access Points
in the Network list. If an access point’s MAC address is not in the
list, Sniffer Portable Professional labels the access point as a rogue.
If the Enable Rogue Mobile Unit Lookup option is enabled, the
Expert compares the MAC address (not the IP address) of each
detected mobile unit to those in the Known Mobile Units in the
Network list. If a mobile unit’s MAC address is not in the list,
Sniffer Portable Professional labels it as a rogue.
