We have several WLCs (mostly 4402s) at several remote sites. A number
of them have been showing the same strange messages? They seem to be
functional for the most part. Are these cause to be alarmed? How would
I go about tracking down the cause of these? I'm especially interested
in the first one...it's the one that started me looking into this.

Thanks!

From 'Show Log' on switch to which WLC is connected:

WLC's send lots of messages (both traps and logs). You can turn off the
traps that you don't want to see under the SNMP configuration.
The log message is because the interface received a multicast packet, and
you probably don't have multicast enabled on the WLC. Nothing to worry
about.

Was the multicast packet coming from the WLC or going to it? Any way
to tell what that packet might have been from?

Thanks!

It was received by the device that logged the message. You need to track
the multicast mac address on you switch network. I really wouldn't worry
about it.

Sounds good... how about the IDS signature attack message? I can't
find too much in searching for that... what might that be?

Thanks!
