I want to disable Radio Monitoring and detect rogue access points only when AP Radio Scan jobs are scheduled. Is this possible?
A. Radio Monitoring is the preferred method for detecting rogue APs. AP Radio Scan jobs can detect rogues, but only during the scan (approximately 3 to 4 minutes); any rogues that show up after the scan are not detected. In addition, because the scan is so short, it is possible that some rogues will not be detected because they do not respond with a Probe Request during the active scan. When Radio Monitoring is enabled, the rogue will eventually be detected by the beacon frame; it is statistically possible that a beacon will not be seen during an AP scan.
