What to do against plug out Ethernet cable from Outdoor AP and use for intrusion

Is there any protection against plugging out an outdoor AP and use the cable connection for access to the network?

Kind of a big deal

Do you mean someone physically unplugging the AP and plugging in their own device?  

 

It would depend entirely on the switch you are using, but practically I would say no.  You might find a way to use only tagged VLANs and black hole the native/default VLAN or not use DHCP as basic deterrents though.

 

Maybe best to go for physical security like using conduit and mounting height to prevent access?

I am using the 8 port poe meraki go switch. And yes exactly thats the point of unplugging the device and use wired connection
