A management of wireless and wired computer network environments in which rogue and other devices that may affect the performance and/or security of the wireless computer network can be detected. Specifically, the present invention discloses a method and system of detecting all interfaces, Media Access Control (MAC) addresses and radio MAC addresses (BSSIDs) affiliated with a rogue device and compiling this information into a database. As a result, the present invention reduces the number of alerts that one rogue device can generate and increases the accuracy and speed of locating the rogue device within a network.
