Abstract
A controller may receive information identifying a rogue access point operating on a channel in the WLAN. In response, the controller may provide instructions to at least a subset of the access points, where the instructions indicate that at least the subset of the access points collaboratively attack the rogue access point, and where a given instruction for a given access point specifies a schedule of attacks by the given access point. In some embodiments, the controller selects at least the subset of the access points based at least in part on one or more parameters, including: an ability to receive transmissions from the rogue access point; traffic loading; communication performance; a number of associated electronic devices; proximity to the rogue access point; and/or operating channels.
