I'd take this warning seriously. It means that your monitoring app isn't monitoring what you think it is. I always want to know when I get malformed protocol packets in. It is always bad news, mostly either a misconfiguration (your case), an attack, (ie my firewall is not protecting this service) or a sign of a switch port going bad. Fix the cause not the symptom.
