In Location Manager > Rogue > Unknown Radio List, why does the Switch IP Address field say Unknown?

0

Recommended Action If the switch IP address is Unknown, the IP address of the switch that the unknown radio is connected to could not be determined. To find the switch port to which the rogue AP is connected, the Switch Port Location feature uses the rogue AP’s BSSID that it hears over the air to make a heuristic guess of the rogue’s Ethernet MAC address. This might not be possible, however, if its Ethernet MAC address and BSSID do not follow the one-off rule, where the MAC address is the same or one-off of the BSSID. For more information, see the Understanding Switch Port Location and Suppression section in the online help or the User Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine, 2.12.
