Has anyone experienced the following before (emails from WCS):

--

WCS has detected one or more alarms of category AP and severity Critical
for the following items:

AP '00:15:c7:2b:5a:90' with protocol '802.11a' on Controller 'xxxx' is
contained as a Rogue preventing service.

AP '00:15:c7:2b:5a:90' with protocol '802.11b/g' on Controller 'xxx' is
contained as a Rogue preventing service.

E-mail will be suppressed up to 30 minutes for these alarms.

WCS has detected a change in one or more alarms of category AP and
severity Critical.
The new severity of the following items is Clear:

AP '00:15:c7:2b:5a:90' with protocol '802.11b/g' on Controller
'148.88.249.134' is no longer being contained. Service is restored.

E-mail will be suppressed up to 30 minutes for these changes.

It appears to be containing a couple of our own (Lightweight) APs and
then restoring them a few minutes later.

Logs on the controllers itself say:

Warning: Our AP with Base Radio MAC 00:15:c7:2b:5a:90 is under attack
(contained) by another AP on radio type 802.11a

This only started happening this morning and seems to be limited to one
building (library).  Cisco documentation suggests this is due to the
rogue AP count exceeding a threshold, although AP's in that building
have only detected one rogue AP.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Scott
