Why AP is in Active Rogue

[wfqk]

Hi One of our AP name is ABCD. we can see it under WIRELESS in WLC, but we also can see it under Active Rogue. Why is that? Thank you

Is it managed by different WLC ?

If those under different WLCs, make sure both WLC is part of same RF Group

Could either be a bug, or somebody also offering a Wireless with the same SSID.
Can you check if the MAC address of the reported rogue AP matches your APs? (ignore the last 2 positions of the MAC address)

[wfqk]

Sorry i got wrong. You are right. 

BTW, can we say one AP can become rogue AP if the AP is connected to the network, but it cannot join WLC? or the AP must be autonomous mode, right?

Not sure if I understand your question.

If the AP is autonomous and active and not added to the WLC, it can be detected as a rogue, yes.
