Clarity on Airmarshal's offline behavior

Do Airmarshal APs continue to detect/prevent Rogue APs, hotspots, honeypot, and other intrusions under WIPS, when the connection to the cloud controller is lost?

It seems the RF optimization-based decisions are taken in the cloud, not sure if it's the same for WIPS as well.

I found the below doc, which says "the rogue AP list will not get Updated", does that mean rogue APs don't get detected and prevented in offline mode ?.

Looking forward to some clarity on this, Thanks

Yes, that’s correct. Since the AP does not have connectivity to the dashboard, the AP won’t be able to update the dashboard about new rogues.
Since the dashboard is the one that decides when to contain or not, it has no way to know about new rogues nor to send the instruction to contain anything.
