(This appears to be the converse situation of another relatively recent post. I thought it might be better to have a separate thread rather than muddy up that conversation).
I have a relatively new deployment of 8 WiSMs controllers (4 of which are currently production and 4 are available for failover). The WiSMs are running code v5.2.157.0 and I have about 50 AP1252's split between the 4 production controllers.
We also have WCS v5.2.130.0 in the environment to manage the controllers. I am a little concerned by some messages I am seeing on the WCS which seem to indicate the WiSMs are auto-containing rogues even though I have verified there are no Auto-Contain features enabled on any of the WiSM controllers.
Here is a sample of a WCS log entry which concerns me:
Rogue AP '00:23:75:07:68:b0' with SSID 'qwest5184' and channel number '4' is detected by AP 'xxxx-2-a4' Radio type '802.11b' with RSSI '-92' and SNR '5'. RogueAP contained.
I can dig up more of these but all seem to indicate an action is being taken on Rogue APs even though we specifically have these options unselected (under Security | Wireless Protection Policies | Rogue Policies | General) and their are no Rogue Rules defined either.
Is there anywhere else I should be checking where something like this could be enabled?
I need to make sure I am not being a problem before I can go to my neighbors and expect the same.
Thanks for any ideas.

WEIRD! Auto-Contain Rogue AP is disabled by default.
Go to Security -> Wireless Protection Policies -> Rogue Policies -> General.

Can you verify that Auto-Contain of Rogue AP is disabled?

I have verified that each of the controller has these options inactive on the following screen:
(under Security | Wireless Protection Policies | Rogue Policies | General)
If there is somewhere else I should be looking, I would be relieved to hear it.

Did you get a resolution to this?
I have the same issue, but am unsure if my WLC's are auto containing rogues, or whether WCS is just falsely reporting the containment.
I see no auto containment setting anywhere on my WLC (4.2.170.0), so I doubt very much it is auto containing.
Anyone know where I can check/look?
My WCS version is 5.2.130.
