We do not look for rogues but we have CCA in place in the dorms. CCA
has a feature where it is aware of any L3 device between the client and
the server so if they have a "broadband wireless router" (the most
common since they are <$50 at best buy) CCA can find and fail their
login. IF they have a true "AP" (eg wireless bridge - seem to be much
less common) then it is not detectible and would function. But even in
that case anyone using that "rogue wireless" would look to the network
like any other client run up against CCA and have to be authenticated
and scanned anyway.
So in short...any rogue wireless in our dorms will either not function,
be found, or is not a security issue.

Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Rogue AP's
We too have the policy of no rogues, but I admit I don't go looking for
them. I know we have them, probably a lot more than I know of, but as
long as they aren't causing problems, I don't really care. Worst
things I've seen are mis-configured APs that want to be a DHCP server
and try handing out IPs on the wired side.

I just wanted to here from other schools on what they are doing about
Rogues. Is your policy not to allow them but don't do too much to
prevent them.
Do you let the dorms be the wild wild west? Or are you actively finding
them and removing them through one means or another. We are an Aruba
networks shop
and have some great capabilities for Rogue detection and prevention and
wanted to get a feel what other schools process is concerning them. Also
any horror stories that you would like to share?
