Use this screen to assign APs either to the rogue AP list or the friendly AP list. A
rogue AP is a wireless access point operating in a network’s coverage area that is
not under the control of the network administrator, and which can potentially open
up holes in a network’s security.

it can be determined if those APs are friendly or rogue. If an AP is set
to this mode it cannot receive connections from wireless clients.
