Own APs as Honeypot?!

Hello Group,

my newly deployed Wireless has some little quirks. One of them is that APs on the same Controller (AP 1250 and WiSM) detect each other as honeypot - sending a trap, but than it is nowhere in the rogues (it shouldn't, so this is good) - but the trap is sent. This is very annoying.

Potential Honeypot AP detected from Rogue MAC : 00:24:14:31:d9:1f on Base Radio MAC : 00:24:14:31:d7:20 Interface no:1(802.11a) with SSID: ssid

both APs are on the same controller, the detectet AP has another base radio mac of course, but this mac belongs to it on one SSID.

Is this a Bug or something misconfigured?

Edit to add: oh, right, I'm running 5.2.157.0

Hi Stefan,

1. This is a bug since the early 4.x days.

2. It's mostly cause/aggravated with the fact that the "honeypot" AP is located too close to the other AP. You can try to relocate the AP somewhere else or modify the settings for the Radio Resource Management.

It should be fixed with the soon-to-be-released firmware 6.0(32.0).

Hi all,

we have same problem with the currently last version 5.2.178 (WiSM).

Thanks a lot.

Bye,

Artem

Hello All,

We are having the same issues with 4404's running 5.2.178.

With WCS version 5.2.130 we are getting tons of "AP impersonation" errors also.

Thanks,

Scott Saluga
