Monitor mode does participate in rogue AP detection, but only on the wireless side. It passively listens to RF traffic for IDS/IPS, RFID tracking, and rogue APs over the air.
Rogue Detector mode, in contrast, does not use RF at all. It works on the wired network only to identify rogue devices, APs, and unauthorized switches through LAN traffic analysis.
So the correct distinction is:
Monitor mode => RF-side rogue detection, IDS/IPS, RFID
Rogue Detector mode => wired-side rogue detection only
Hence, the current marked answer is correct.
