Describe the problem of rogue access points.

What will be an ideal response?

The problem of rogue access points exists because WAPs are inexpensive, and easy to add to a network by simply plugging the WAP into an Ethernet wall jack. Once the rogue access point is installed, the bad guys can access the network from outside the building. Sometimes employees install them for their own convenience, without realizing that they expose the network to outside threats. You can make a rogue access point nearly invisible by turning off SSID broadcasting.
