Rogue access points (RAPs) expose the enterprise network to a barrage of security vulnerabilities in that they are typically connected to a network port behind the firewall. It will break any security implementation without a notice. Detecting RAP is vital to clear any threat to network environment. This paper is discussed about a method how to detect RAP such as passive monitoring, visualization and traffic analysis. We do a preliminary study using SNMP focusing on analyzing traffic analysis as a part of detecting RAP. We also propose a simple algorithm which is hope can detect RAP in advance before it vulnerable the network environment.
