Question

Rogue AP detection without an AP

Hey all,

We're setting up an office, and require rogue AP detection for PCI (or wireless scanning of some sort). However, we won't have a wireless network.

Can the Fortigate still do rogue AP detection without a managed AP?

Cheers,

Simon

    To detect rogue APs, there needs to be a wireless device that can listen to radios, generally the same device that provides your corporate/guest wifi. So it can differentiate between corp/guest wifi and rogue wifi.
