Active Rogues - Are AP's that are not on your WLC(s) that your AP's can hear. There are some settings in the rogue policies, that you can set the RSSI threshold for 'friendly' vs 'malicious.
No, this does not mean they are on your network. It simply means the WLC/AP hears other AP that are not on your network. However, if you have WCS, you can plot the rogues to see if they appear to be in your building(s) or not.
If they are connected to your network, it is because somebody plugged a device into your LAN that has AP capapbilites. If you have a 'spare' AP, you can connect it to your WLC and put it in Rogue Detector mode and enable RLDP. Then configure the switchport it is on, to be a trunk. This AP will then listen to ARP, and pass the information to the WLC. The WLC then looks at the rogues to see if the mac addresses match up, and if they do, you get alerted to a rogue on the wire.
Take a look at the below link for more information on rogues.
