Containment Options

Using RAPIDS, AMP can shield rogue devices from associating to Cisco WLC (versions 4.2.114 and later), and
Aruba controllers (running AOS versions 3.x and later). AMP will alert you to the appearance of the rogue device
and identify any mismatch between controller configuration and the desired configuration.
Note: WMS Offload is not required to manage containment in AMP.

Description
Filters rogues according to signal strength. Since anything below the
established threshold will be ignored and possibly dangerous, we do not
recommend enabling this setting. Instead, we recommend you incorporate
signal strength into the classification rules on the RAPIDS > Rules page.
Filters rogues according to the remote AP that discovers them. Enabling this
option causes AWMS to drop all rogue discovery information coming from
Remote APs.
Description
Rogue APs on Cisco WLC and Aruba controllers as defined by the Rules
engine will be classified as a Contained Rogue. AMP pushes the containment
status of a rogue device to the controller and the controller takes the
appropriate action. For the rogue device to be contained, you may need to
configure containment on the controller.
If No is selected, AMP will display the desired containment settings but not
push them to the devices. This may result in mismatches in device
classifications. This can be useful for administrators that want to see what
RAPIDS would push to the controller without making any changes to their
network.
If Yes is selected, AMP will push the desired containment settings to the
controllers in Monitor-Only mode, as well as the devices in managed mode.
