Unless I'm missing something, this is the saddest most worthless alert system that I've ever seen. In two weeks, I've gotten a half million alerts (code 186) from our controller with approximately 20 AP's. I just upgraded to 5.2.2.0.1563 of the Virtual SmartZone Essentials in hopes that this might have been fixed but continue to get Rogue alerts "because of rogue classification policy {policy[No policy matched], rule [No rule matched]} I want to alert based on AP's broadcasting the same SSIDs as my managed AP's. That's a malicious AP. I don't care about SSID's detected from AP's that don't match ours. Between cell phone hotspots, cars, and neighboring businesses -- we pick up huge numbers of AP's that the system then declares as "Classified rogue AP".
The unleashed firmware seems to have a sane selection menu where you can choose to report only malicious rogue devices of type "SSID-spoofing". Can the same thing be accomplished on the more expensive Virtual Smartzone software or not? I'm very tempted to convert all of our R730's to unleashed firmware and manage them individually because of this.
